The Tapered Cut for Natural Hair

Yesterday at work, I had a conversation about my hair. I mentioned to my coworkers that I've thought about cutting my hair a few times. They exclaimed (like my husband always does): WHY WOULD YOU CUT YOUR HAIR? According to them my hair's pretty long and they don't understand why I would want to start all over again. Well, the thought of starting over does scare me a little bit, but I've been seeing a lot of tapered cuts on natural hair and the idea's beginning to grow on me.

Guess what? You can actually fake a tapered cut, as I just found out on Sandra's blog - Naija Girl Next Door.

      YUP! You can pin your hair up in certain areas, curl it tightly or depending on your shrinkage dash water for your hair and pat it down.

    Faux is fab..and less emotionally painful than cutting for the style. Don't you just love shrinkage?

    Sandra's hair is the bizness mehhnnn. I wonder if I can achieve the faux look without doing the crochet braids.

      now that would be impressive, but I'm sure there would be a lot of gel type action and booby pins

      Or probably just work with your hair's shrinkage. Stretch the top, pat down the sides. Our humidity can help a lot with this style even.

      Thanks :D :D :*
      Yes you can totally fake it like Oreoluwa said. I saw youtube tutorials like that. No hair pins, no gel unless you use gel to set your curls.
      One used tiny perm rods behind and big ones in front. Another sprayed water and tied down the back and sides with a scarf, then stretched the front in twists overnight. I plan to try it
