How To Get The Perfect Front Taper Hairline, Side Taper & Back Taper | Braids, Dreads, Twist & Afro

[@KyleVolt]

Back taper advice is a life saver, listen to this man!

[@brothashizztv258]

This Nigga the best hair KZbinr on here , bc nobody ever discusses the tapers and what to do. I always thought you get the front taper first but when you explain like dat it makes a lot of sense

[@dicacious9763]

real shit bro i was looking all over the internet for this 😂

[@Akhenatonio]

I've been getting the rear taper for a minute now, so growing the hair back is going to be another journey. I should have seen this video before you made it King Bril.

[@Ja-LonnieBilal]

I usually rock a mid or a high taper when I'm wearing braids. I been growing my hair for years but back then I would taper the sides and front and eventually my hair just got long enough to braid. I started getting front tapers with my curly fro , then I rocked it for braids, but then I noticed it getting wider so i ended up growing it out and now I have a small front taper. I don't really think it matters the size of the side and back tapers as long its not too high obviously, because there are people out there who've rocked the curly fro with the high taper like myself before transitioning to braids. I think this video is just for people who are growing their hair from scratch to braids. The high taper still looks clean if you have braids. I think the main thing is too not ruin your front taper because it can get too wide and will end up looking dumb. I have hang time so back taper isn't really an issue.

[@mohamedkanu9633]

Oh I see I have high top but I decided to grow out my back taper, so I’m probably get low drop fade or mid drop fade

[@kidjaymack7501]

Dropped this right when I’m about to get my first set of braids, I got loose curls that I’ve grown out to get these braids. Excited to get em will tell my braider to fs leave baby hairs now appreciate it 💯

[@nidarao7312]

You know how the taper hairline is from the hair being brushed down and cut what if I don't want the lineup any more do I just cut off the front line or how do I remove the taper hairline

[@zay-zay3]

When my hair was long enough for twists, that’s when I parted out my tapered hairline. When I started off with a fro my taper was low but I grew it out to part it off when my hair was long enough so that I would have the perfect amount. Same for the back

[@arenui6430]

Best content on yt❤❤❤

[@oralemu2318]

I got a 4 inch hair with type 3 hair and my hair style is like low fade, I got a lot of hair in the back but not most of the back like taper ofc, what I aim to do in the future are twists and finger coils/locs and my normal hair when I get to the school is curls.. and I’ve always been afraid of doing the taper hairline because as you said there is no coming back from this, I barely do cornrows due to my short hair …

[@oralemu2318]

I mean should I get the tapered hairline?

Could you derma roll your front taper if it's lighter in some spots? I watched your video about derma rolling and I was wondering.

[@YSJayy]

Is the front taper the same for wavy hair?

[@julienalexander6113]

Thank you bro! Some of these dudes don't understand

[@Zays]

I have a question. I don’t have a front taper yet but I wanna get dreads, should I wait until I get dreads to get the front taper? Or should I get it now?

[@jollygoodgordon5580]

bro i got a question, if i wamt a side taper, should i go to my braider first too or only with front taper?

[@avacadotoast3522]

Only with the front bc that’s when hair needs to be left in the front to get a front taper started, but once you get a front taper every time you go back they can just hold your hair up and refresh it. So apt answer the question you only go to your braided for the front taper at FIRST.

[@TheDrThunda]

QUESTION: i just reached 1 year with my full set of locs but i didnt think to get a front taper. How should I go about getting one?

[@danielorebiyi1999]

You suggest growing out my back taper after being 1 year in hair journey?

[@lwazimathe7943]

Yo, so if you wanna do the side taper you just get it before braiding? Or you gotta braid first?

[@DarkVade_r]

I keep my hairline natural now and only line up the sides.

[@jabaribushnell7289]

i already have a front taper and i’ve been growing my hair for 2 years, its a couple inches away from touching my shoulders and my front taper is a little less than an inch long is that bad?

I def need a vid on how to repair a side taper and a back taper cuz my barber brought my taper a lil too high.

[@Ceet001]

I'v been growing my hear out for 1 and half years now and got two strand twist, Should i get a retwist then start with a side taper because i'd say my hair is quite developed as it reaches my eyes

[@Tamerikan_Boul]

Speaking facts. I got 12 thick box braids that are pass my shoulders w/ a small front taper similar to yours but smaller. My front taper is so small it's barely noticeble so all i do is put the guard on, trim down the front & shape up my corners. The tension on the hairline be crazy if your line not starting at the middle of your forehead lol.

Here cause I have dreads and I had a bad habit of going to the barber first. My now ex barber be doing the most to try to put his spin on my nice ass locs and he gave me a front taper that was like a whole inch! I was mad as shit leaving the barbershop and I'll never go back again. Now im trying to let it grow back before my next retwist (while also looking for a new barber) and get like half of that inch incorporated back into the front of my locs.

[@FillyLoyal]

Question. Would getting a taper when you’re late in the game still be valid? I’ve been growing my hair out through covid and now have a full head of hair. But I don’t have that sharp look whenever I put my hair in a protective. style even when I ask for a lineup after

[@KingBril]

to be real thats the best time to get a taper. just start very small becasue once the hair is gone its gone

[@jamelcummings2857]

What tips would you give to come back from a bad front taper

[@pieterlandrysobtafo708]

Nah for real, my braider fucked up and for some reason left too much space last time she braided it and I ain’t notice till after I got my cut.

[@TheTexasOiler]

#2 is the only reason I grew my hair out of a taper, but after my hair was 2-3” long thats when i stopped getting tapers and I only braid my hair side way to help my hairline instead of braid my hair going back.

Yo I have a front taper that’s like 2 cm it’s too big and I have a high taper what would be the best way to grow it out without cutting off my hair or do I have to cut it

[@entertainment4552]

2cm? That like a little below and inch not bad. Don't cut it just grow your hair some then combine that with the rest so it looks like a section

[@KingBril]

it depends how long the rest of your hair is. Id say get two strand twist and just let the front taper grow a bit, itll be rough but its winter time so the durags, scarf and caps that people with dreads wear can keep you straight while its growing
