Question: 1 / 400

What is a key characteristic of a taper haircut?

Even length throughout

Shorter at the nape, longer at the crown

A key characteristic of a taper haircut is that it is shorter at the nape (back of the neck) and gradually longer towards the crown (top of the head). This gradual increase in length creates a smooth and blended transition from short to long hair, giving the haircut a clean and polished appearance. This technique helps to create a structured look while maintaining a neat and tidy appearance.

The other options are not characteristic of a taper haircut:

- Option A, even length throughout, describes a blunt cut where all hair is the same length.

- Option C, long layers at the front and short at the back, describes a layered haircut with a different distribution of lengths.

- Option D, short on the sides and long on the top, describes a disconnected haircut where there is a clear contrast in lengths between the sides and the top of the head.
