This video is hella old on KZfaq land but you have been my inspiration for a tapered cut for years. Finally took the plunge in 2019

I love that you're a natural that doesn't mind color. So many naturals expect that once you go natural that you're supposed to stick with black curly hair for the remainder of your life. Sorry, but hair is just hair and my hair likes to have fun.

I just got a tapered cut with color last week and I couldn't be happier! You're right adding color makes it so much more funky!!!

I'm getting my tapered cut at the end of the year. so glad i bumped into your channel. I'm currently a blond but this has inspired me to do two tones. Your hair is absolutely beautiful.

I’m ready to get a tapered. I recently asked a local natural hair salon if they could do a tapered cut and LUCKILY they were super honest with me and told me that they really don’t specialize in tapered cuts and they recommend that I go to a barber instead. So glad they were honest. 💇🏾‍♀️💆🏾‍♀️✂️ can’t wait for my new haircut next week.

I cut in my cut into a tapered cut Oct. 2014 & I love it. I agree adding color made my cut even better!!!!

Great vid you inspired me to finally cut my hair been infatuated with long hair all my life but now I need a change . And I will be adding color too ! Thanks !

This color and these curls are working so well for you I love this channel thank you so much for this

Loved these tips ♥ totally agree with the hair color too. It makes such a huge difference!

Thank you for posting this! I totally needed this advice. I'm ready for a change, but was a bit afraid of the tapered cut.

good advice! I am interested in getting a tapered cut and am nervous about finding a stylist. Thanks for the tips

considering a tapered cut so this was so helpful. thanks for this!!!!

I am SOOOOOO nervous!!! Omg thank you for this video!!!

I live your videos.You inspired me to get my hair cut. My hair was damaged from heat. My hair dresser burnt my hair, so I had to cut it. I went to white salone and let me tell you, this young white girl cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I showed her your pics and she cut it to the te. She did a TERRIFIC JOB. I would most def go back to her. She will definitely be my back up hair stylist. Also, she knew what she was doing. She knew how to cut our type of hair.

liked your video..I cut my hair into a tapered cut and it was the best thing I could have done, I love it, and it is easy to manage.

i cut mines in a taper back in 2013 and didn't realize how fast it grows and the upkeep that it needs..i really loved it but I wasn't ready!!..I hope to be one day cause I really did love it!!...thanks curlybeauty!!...great video!!

I love your hair!!!!! I saw you on instragam and had to find you on youtube. lol I am cutting my hair like yours and getting some color!!! Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Very good points. I went to pinterest for style examples.

This was VERY fundamental! When I big chopped, I did it in two steps ... Loved the video.. and you just made me wanna cut my hair AGAIN! lol xoJR

Your eyes reminds me of left eye eyes from TLC .

Wow, I just got my hair cut into a tapered style by a stylist and over paid (a lot), but the good news is that I am super excited because my cut came out amazing!!! Next time I'm going to the barber. Thanks for these awesome hair tips, they were very helpful. You are absolutely right, color definitely ups the style profile of a tapered cut. #newsubbie

I agree with going to a salon it seem no matter what you say they or stylists I have been to never listen my last time at the salon was 2004 was my last nightmare ! So hard trust I care about length being natural I worked so hard to get my hair healthy. I want something bold for my upcoming birthday this will be my 50th birthday in December.. I have undercut before so I know will love it have length I just want keep it at the top...

Very very helpful....this is where I'm at.. Ready for a cut n color professional:) thx for sharing

Good advice given here. Too many hairstylists in Trinidad, have messed up my natural hair that I took forever to grow. Barbers do a much better job in terms of shape and style

So wish I saw this before I went to this stylist who I thought knew what she was doing and she butchered me. cut my hair way too short along the sides and back. Can't wait for it to grow out a little. :( I showed her a picture and everything along with a consultation. You hair is fab btw. :)

I love my new purpinkle (purplish pinky colour 😂😂) and I'm trying to grow my tapered cut out a lil longer on the sides and back 😁 Love your hair 😍 xx

Great video!!! I've been debating for almost a year and this really helped!! With it being fall now, I may wait until the spring. Thanks for sharing your tips!!!

thanks so much for making this vid! i will be getting my first tapered cut (and first ever short haircut) in a couple weeks for my 28th bday, excited! wish me luck

I am so over my hair. I'm tired of it. It's boring and I look bald headed all the time. Looks like my top will never hang. Ugggh I colored it about 3 weeks ago so I don't perm it. Omg I don't even feel pretty anymore because of this curly mess. I'm about to watch this video hopefully it works

Yo ma your hair is crazy fresh! I love it!

Thank you sooo much! I have a appt to cut my hair this Wednesday lbs....glad I came across this video. And I agree, color does take it to the next level ;-)

Your hair is the bomb! So pretty.

this was VERY helpful thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for these tips!

Love your video. I've took the plugged and cut mine. Now , I'm not sure how to style it. I think we went a tad to short in the back and side. Any tips on how to style that.

I know this isn't necessarily on the right video upload but i was wondering could you start doing the 'Motivation Monday's' again please? ooooo and i love your hair btw!! I'm turning my pixie cut into a tapered cut very soon. Sooooo excited and maybe even a bit of colour :)

thanks. I really needed this

Very helpful!

Nice Thanks for sharing!

can u tell me what color and brand u used? your color is so beautiful.

@askproy The colors are so nice!! What colors in your hair?

I want to color my hair (which I've done before, years ago) cinnamon but for some reason I'm so afraid to this time. I just cut my locs off in November and I have about 3 1/2 inches on the top, 2 inches on the side, and 1inch in the back. I'm afraid it'll become brittle once I put in the color. :(

Love your cut but I'm obsessed with your curls. Honey how did you get them so defined. I'm over here like WOW!lol

I have permed hair can I still get a taper cut ? and my side and back is cut like in a loop if that makes since.

What salons in Atlanta do you suggest that are very good with tapered twa cuts such as yours.

I'm just scared cause I have always had a tapered but that was with perms lol. now my hair is longer now and I really want to cut it again but I don't want to the cut to look weird with my natural hair lol. but I do love this cut and would love to get some color in it as well

Nice hair. I want a tapered cut!!!

I'm trying to respond to you @Kris B but it's not giving me the option to reply. Dunno why. Anyhoo, I recommend just finger coiling the sides and back until you get the desired length you're looking for. Maybe you can even do chunky twists (if it's long enough). The sides and back right now will be your texture playground - that is, it will showcase the best of your naturalness and that's your coil/curl pattern. Don't concern yourself with styling that too much, focus on the part you can style and make miracles happen there. It's so much you can do, really... just gotta be open to options. Check out my channel - I have a few styles I've executed with the short hair.

0:14 #1. Know what look you're going for. Do you want very short on the sides and back? Do you want to keep length at the top? Do you want it to be even all the way around? Look at photos and bring examples. Emulate a style you like. Google, Instagram, Pinterest, KZfaq 0:57 #2. Decide that this is a look you actually want. If you're not sure, consider doing a faux tapered look or frohawk before hand to text out the look 2:05 #3. Decide how short you want to go / how much hair you want to keep. For example she kept hers longer in certain areas 3:28 #4. Are you going to do the cut or will a stylist do it? Do you want to go to a barber or a salon? If you want someone else to do it, bring a lot of photos. Do what makes you comfortable 6:21 #5 Add fun to your tapered cut! Add color

Did you get your tapered cut in Arizona, if so where?

My stylist seems to be ducking me and I want to have some advice on if I should go to her for my tapered or to a barber shop? I'd just ask her (who I trust completely with my hair) but again...she's ducking my question of can she do it or not. Idk if she's just been busy with life or whatever 😂

Great video

Thank you for the information. I am wanting a tapered cut but I can't find a natural stylist to do it in my area. I have a trusted barber but I don't know if he will be able to do it.

thanks. I think it so sexy when we creativity taper our hair with color. Luv it

Ummm...yours is what I want! LOL! Hairspiration!

i'm cutting my own hair. i started by chopping chunks off with the scissors then i found this video. FML! >.

Your hair looks like noodles
