What is it called when you cut the hair close to the nape of the neck and leave it longer at the crown?

Taper
Fading
Texturizing
Layering

The correct answer is: Taper

When you cut the hair close to the nape of the neck and leave it longer at the crown, this technique is called a taper. Tapering involves gradually shortening the hair from the top down to the neck, creating a smooth transition in length. This style helps in adding shape and structure to the haircut, giving it a clean and polished look. The other options are: B. Fading: Fading involves blending the hair from short to long or vice versa, typically using clippers to achieve a seamless transition. C. Texturizing: Texturizing is a method used to remove excess bulk from the hair or create texture by using scissors or various texturizing tools. D. Layering: Layering involves cutting the hair at different lengths to create volume, texture, and movement in the hairstyle.
