I can't think of one con with my tapered cut. I wash once a week I restyle once a week and I do my own shape up every two weeks. Best decision I ever made low maintenance indeed. Thanks for sharing keep the barber series coming. I'm learning so much.

I'm so glad that I'm 65 yrs old because I don't fuss with my tapered cut. I spray it with my Curls moisturizer and tie it in a satin scarf at night. In the morning, I just take my wet fingers on my edges and top and hit the road. No fuss, just go. It looks good for almost a week until my next co-wash. But I think that at my age doing a lot of styling is irrelevant. So, I'm pretty satisfied with the cut. I would recommend it to older women who are tired of constantly doing or styling their hair.

@MermaidPisces 3 года назад

@Beatrice Kinsey I’m getting my hair done for my 58th B-D March 4,2021 & do the same as you do. I still work 5 days a week, Spring Summer coming it’s to much & thick .

@Ebbers380 9 лет назад

The "con" about it being high maintenance is exactly why I got my hair cut into a twa a few weeks ago. I decided that I was going to get back into an exercise routine, and the last thing I want to do is deal with hair. My tapered cut was frustrating me (I'd had it for almost 3 years), so I decided to cut it. I love it!

@Letisha_Letisha_Letisha 8 лет назад

I had a tapered cut but decided to grow it out. Now that I'm going hard with exercising I cut it short. I don't have time to worry about hair. Lol.

@melissaboone7858 8 лет назад

I've had a tapered cut before and I'm planning on getting one again, and I don't think it's high maintenance - certainly not more than my long hair currently. When I had a tapered cut I styled my hair once a week and it usually held well; with my long hair I either have to do a mid week style or my hair was going in a ponytail.

@TJ-gt1zz 6 лет назад

Melissa Boone What you said 👌

@cthomasbydesign 9 лет назад

Yes, keep the barbershop series coming. It's very informative. The barbers that I have come across are good (3), but getting my idea across to them (even with pics ) is proving difficult. I think they have a vision of how they want my hair to look and aren't really listening to me as the client & seeing my vision.

@dlilwon 7 лет назад

Christina Thomas they must be Nigerian barbers, they don't listen 🤣

@donnawilliams6834 5 лет назад

Barbers style cut differently then woman beauticians. Its so frustrating. I go to barbers and look like a mans cut. Woman a softer womanly cut.

@donnawilliams6834 5 лет назад

Both have something to offer i want to get both in one person.

@bcoledoe 3 года назад

Yes yes yes! I’ve gone to many different barbers and they often cut they way the see fit. My current barber is magical! Many of his clients are females so, he is aware of what it means to have a softer look and executes !

@milesshakira 9 лет назад

I have a tapered cut!!!! I actually took a pic of you to my barber when I got it. I absolutely LOVE my tapered I get soooooooooooooooo many compliments on my hair! Yes everything you said in this video is true far as time on styling my hair and products and keeping it trimmed and lined up I go every two weeks too!i also have a v in the back!!

@carolynl.blakeney1763 7 лет назад

your tapered cuts are amazing, they look great on you. I'm going to get mine cut today, like yours, thank you so much for helping me, I'm 65 and need a new look, tjis will fit me perfectly.

@ortem000 9 лет назад

Love your videos, especially the barbershop series. I have a tapered haircut and I live for it. For me, I'm 4a/b and all about the wash+go and I do manage to wake up, fluff with some oil and go. 1 minute and I'm done. My hair is about as long as yours on top and about an inch now on the sides and back. So my hair is super low maintenance and styled. I LOVE when it is coily and voluminous and if need be, I can go about 9 days without a full wash/restyle. So, just wanted to represent for the wash+go peeps. Once you get the process down to a science and have the best products on deck, your gorgeous and good to go. Thanks!

@Letisha_Letisha_Letisha 8 лет назад

I 💜💓💟💝💌💚💛💗💙❤️ my wash and go! No more long hair for me. Lol.

@yolandaj.2215 4 года назад

I love love love your look! I've had a tapered cut for a bit. I have been thinking of growing it out but I might keep this tapered look another year. I've learned not to be so attached to my hair having to be long all over my head to feel confident.

@donnagilchrist3259 5 лет назад

Girl........................This is the BEST review I have seen yet. I love the way you showed in the other videos how to style this cut. I have my hair cut just like this and wanted to know how to straighten it out. I have an inch curling iron but not the flat iron. I also like the way you showed how to do the different twists and knots. Thank you so much

@lashaa5 8 лет назад

Tks girl just got a tapered cut....great info....yes I kinda do but everything on RU-vid....but I'm glad I'm not spending it on weave and then someone to install it 150$ easy....please keep the Barber shop series coming...tks love

@MissJP21 7 лет назад

I love this vid but disagree. Hairstyles are as high maintenance as your mentality or your level of patience and skill. I think it's unrealistic (and not saying you do, MissKenK, but many women do) to seek styles, whether natural, relaxed, long or short, that require NO or even "low" maintenance. The same way you have to take care of your skin, your nails, your teeth or anything that will be with you for the rest of your life is the same way you have to take time and invest in maintaining your hair. I'd say go with what works for your budget, lifestyle, patience meter, and be realistic, invest in clip-ins, hats and scarves and just go with the flow...I stopped obsessing about the line-up, perfect curls and fussing with it. Have fun and go with the flow ladies! xoxo and much love to you MissKenK.

@c30ful 9 лет назад

I totally agree with you 10,000%! I love my tapered cut but it is definitely a lot of maintenance. Thank you for this video. I actually wait for you to style your tapered cut so that I know how to style mine lbvs!

@zahriarhyne5967 7 лет назад

I have a grown out tapered cut .... so it's big on top (crown-front) and graduates shorter and shorter to the back. I've been cutting my hair like this for a while, about three times in a year and a half. The shape of my hair along with my three strand bantu knots always look great, hence why I love my cutting my hair the same way. Must admit I cut my hair 4-5 wks ago and it was dramatic .... the front is about 7 inches and the back is 3" on the sides and 3.5" in the mid back, it was inspired by your videos and another you-tuber that does only tapered cuts . I watched your for like 3 days straight and I couldn't bring myself to cutting my hair that short so I altered my usual cut. Thanks Miss Ken cauz yah inspire the yutes lol.

@cutie4life131 6 лет назад

I feel that long hair is a lot of maintenance at the same time lol but I really want a tapered cut soooo badly

@MsMia70 6 лет назад

Thank you! Wish I would have seen this before I cut my hair into this style. 3 weeks ago ughhhh I’m so frustrated so I really appreciate your tapered series. Dam I feel like I felt when I first went natural. Thank u

@reshon30 6 лет назад

Girl where do I begin ??? I loved this video and you spoke nothing but truth!!! I have had a tapered cut three times and this is the third and I agree with everything you said as the Pros and Cons to a cut like this. But it’s so beautiful! I get so many compliments daily on the look, but I’m like you.... it’s maintenance!! Yeah whoever that chic was that said it was easy LIED lol! I love this fro look on your cut :). I swear you have the best tutorials and I’ve been on RU-vid for many years with my own channel. I need to get back to it! You are inspiring me and also to go a little shorter despite that maintaining lol. Love your hair color too! Great videos, keep em coming girl

@snowbird9660 3 года назад

It depends on what kind of hair you have. I have 3b/3c hair and that’s exactly what I do when I wake up. I lift out the dents and go. I can do that for days.

@FlairelleNet 8 лет назад

I just did a sidecut and the washing process was so easy and doing flat twists and styling are so so easy and less time consuming. I cant wait to put designs in the shaved part. Your hair is gorgeous and I love the edgy look on you

@padfootslover 8 лет назад

I'm growing my tapered cut out, so the challenge is gripping the sides. I found my long natural hair was easier to style bc it was easier to grab, lol. I could section it away a lot easier. But I do love the tapered cut, even with the difficulty of gripping the sides and back.

@AysiaSBeauty 9 лет назад

Only 1:30 into the video and you have me cracking up! I tell my friends this all the timeee! "Whoever put that in your head is a got damn lie!" 😂😂😂😂

@monicawashington3016 9 лет назад

this is a great video. these were things I didn't think about before I got tapered my hair cut. I loved the style but growing it out was pretty tough. it was very tough. Great video!

@danielledavis3619 9 лет назад

You are so right BUT I love my tapered cut. I been in a protected style for 3 weeks because I have been so busy with work. So you are speaking the truth on a tapered cut. Once again: I LOVE MY CUT. Thanks

@u2bang 8 лет назад

I am thankful for watching this video. It has given me some very good ideas about what to do with my hair that is in a tapered cut. I do love it and want to keep it. Thanks.

@nyaqbabytoo6595 7 лет назад

The Barber Shop Series is WONDERFUL!!!! It helped me learn HOW to communicate what I want and How to be Clear and specific. Being a woman new at having this taper cut, I want something different everytime... and watchng your Barbershop series, I have learned like HUMMM??? OK! So i am just waiting for more of the series' since i plan on making more trips to the Shop. Thank you Them!..lol Thanks Miss K!! And Rob! I think my only request question is: How do you know when you have found a great barber? Just stepping out on faith really or Nah? Lol? Cause Girl, we dont all have it like you, wish though, Rob Is clean!!

@mrsdsullivan 7 лет назад

I cried like a baby after my 1st tapered cut. It was not what I was expecting. I want to try it again with a medium tapered cut. I appreciate you for what you do!

@michellegonzalez7202 5 лет назад

I just got a taper cut and I am learning how to do my hair. Some days it is frustrating because I am learning to work miracles. Def gonna keep it for a while and experiment. Prob will keep this style for a while cuz my fro was a lot of work. But now i have to be creative.

@quaqua6917 3 года назад

Girl. I so appreciate this video cause I was about to get to ✂️. I'm sick daily and wanted something low maintenance. I have thick nappy 4c hair. This is so cute of a style but too high maintenance. I appreciate this video.🤩

@annettegarcia789 2 года назад

I just love your tapered short look ur rockin that short look Beautiful lady Thanks for sharing much love and Blessings to you ❤️❤️❤️💯

@thebonifiedlady111 6 лет назад

Thaaaaaank you so much for the cons. I wanted this cut sooo badly. I do not want more maintenance.

@madelinirvin3426 9 лет назад

Yes.... I recently cut my hair like yours in the Tapered Flat Twist Out Video.... which I love, love, love.... I also go every 2 weeks to get my hair shaped up. Anytime beyond that my hair would not look neat.

@MrsSpontaneous 8 лет назад

Thanks a lot. I was thinking about getting another cut after growing the last one out for a little over two years. This hair is just too much and after the confirmation of this video, I know short hair is just a better route for me. Thanks a bunch.

@sawaanah 8 лет назад

I love the barber shop series,,,, and I love both of you guys for what u do in the hair industry. I would like to see a video of Roberts clippers, trimmers and razors with the names of them, along with the pros and cons. I'm a Cosmetology student who is also loving to do clippers cuts and would like to know all that I can, especially the right tools to use. Thanks again. Stay Sharp!!!

@megzrus3186 2 года назад

@raunij7967 9 лет назад

@dawnfyler 6 лет назад

I just want to complement you on your informative videos. I underwent the big chop about 10 months ago. My hair now is getting long enough to do some of the things that you do such as the twist out, Bantu knots etc. I did try a tapered cut but I found that it did not suit my facial structure; so right now I’m just going with the round look. Anyhow keep up the good work

@misspookie84 6 лет назад

girllllll I know what you mean....i love my cut but I've had it 2yrs now. I've had every style imaginable. idk what else to do with it

@raunij7967 9 лет назад

@nccurlygirl 8 лет назад

Thanks, I'm contemplating a tapered cut and this video has definitely been helpful! Love your hair and makeup!

@mse9609 3 года назад

Excuse me! I have a tapered cut and it is not a lot of maintenance. Perhaps it has more to do with a person's hair texture. I don't manipulate my hair with a bunch of styles. I will do something different or different style for special occasions. Otherwise, no frustration it grows and I allow it to do what it wants to. It is reasonable to maintenance by keeping the shape. So.. everyone is different. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Absolutely love your barbershop series! I've been wanting to get a tapered cut or undercut for so long but have been afraid of maintenance and just losing all the hair I spent forever to grow lol. I simply adore all the styles, Robert is da boss. Thanks for the tips and added information about having such a cut. I feel like I can just go do what I want with my hair now. I have one question though, does Robert know any good barbers in Kansas or Florida? I don't live in the States but I will be visiting soon and would like to get my cut done then. Thanks again.

@LeenaSongstress 9 лет назад

I really want to do the tapered cut but,you have me reconsidering. I don't have time to style every day;sounds like more work.

@CD-vv8wh 9 лет назад

+Leena Songstress I have a tapered cut (shaved down on the sides and in the back) and have had it for about 3 months now. I currently wear a wash/shingle and go. It only takes be a mere 15 mins to style and I'm out the door! I don't have to style every day. Maybe every 4 days. I can stretch it 7 days if I spritz with water and tug on it a little to stretch it out. I think there will be pros and cons to any hair length or style you get. It's hair, it will grow back, you really should give it a try! I've cut my hair a lot over the last 20 years of my life, this by far is the flyyyyyyest cut I have EVER had!!!!! :)

HOW DO I GROW IT OUT

@anydae 5 лет назад

@craynae9468 9 лет назад

It sounds like someone is typing while you speak, so distracting! Lol. Anyway, I have a question for you: How long did it take you to grow your hair out to the length you have now? I've had this cut for over a year however, I just went natural this year (April 2015) and my hair in the front is about 2 1/2 - 3 inches long now. But I'm trying to grow it out longer. I know I should be patient but I feel like my hair is in a bit of an awkward stage and I want to be able to do more with it but can't. Help me Kendra!
