4B Round Top with Fade
4B Round Top with Fade. Men's rounded coily top over a mid fade, sponge-textured. Natural type 4B hair: tight Z-angled coils only a few millimetres across, much tighter than a perm curl, less defined clumping, fluffy cotton-like volume, around 60-70 percent shrinkage. Client is of mixed heritage (for example Black and East Asian) with naturally textured hair (not a perm or relaxer).
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a rounded, soft bowl outline
- movement from the tight curl
