4B Two-Strand Twists with Taper
4B Two-Strand Twists with Taper. Men's short two-strand twists on top, tapered clipper sides. 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 two-block silhouette with tucked sides
- movement from the tight curl
