What is a key characteristic of a taper haircut?

Even length throughout
Shorter at the nape, longer at the crown
Long layers at the front, short at the back
Short on the sides, long on the top

The correct answer is: 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.
