Curly Fringe / Fluffy Fringe / Taper
A full, rounded mass of curly or permed texture over tight faded sides. You've seen it everywhere lately. Straight hair needs a perm on top to get there.
Tell your barber
“I'd like a broccoli cut — tight fade on the sides, mid to high, and leave the top about two to three inches with a lot of volume and messy texture. I want that fluffy, rounded look on top, almost like a broccoli shape. If my hair is straight, I'll need a perm on top first.”

Styling tip
Apply a curl-enhancing mousse to damp hair and scrunch upward. Diffuse dry for maximum volume. If your hair is naturally straight, you'll need a perm to get the texture — ask your barber about a cold perm.
