The Blowout Taper: The Luxury Men's Haircut Taking Over Denton County

February 2, 20265 min read

If there's one haircut that defines the current moment in men's grooming, it's the blowout taper. At him. Barbers in Highland Village, we've watched this style evolve from a niche request to our single most requested cut—and for good reason.

What Is a Blowout Taper?

The blowout taper combines volume on top with a gradual fade on the sides. Unlike traditional tapers, the blowout emphasizes height and movement, creating a silhouette that's both structured and naturally flowing. Think of it as the intersection of classic barbering and modern editorial styling.

Why It's Trending in Denton County

From the boardrooms of Frisco to the restaurants of Flower Mound, the blowout taper works everywhere. Our clients from Lewisville and The Colony love it because it photographs well, holds shape throughout the day, and transitions seamlessly from office to evening.

Who Should Consider the Blowout Taper

  • Men with medium-density to thick hair
  • Those who want volume without high maintenance
  • Professionals who need a polished look
  • Anyone transitioning from traditional fades to something more textured

How to Maintain It

The blowout taper requires a quality blow dryer and a light-hold product. At him., we'll walk you through the exact technique and recommend products that work for your hair type. Most clients come back every 3-4 weeks to keep the shape fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a blowout taper last before needing a touch-up?

A blowout taper typically looks fresh for 3-4 weeks. After that, the fade grows out and the volume on top may lose its shape. We recommend scheduling regular appointments to maintain the look.

Is the blowout taper high maintenance?

It requires daily styling with a blow dryer and light-hold product, but once you learn the technique (which we'll teach you), it takes just 5-10 minutes. The cut itself is designed for manageable upkeep.

Can I get a blowout taper with thin hair?

The blowout taper works best with medium to thick hair since it relies on volume. For thinner hair, we can adapt the cut with texturizing techniques or suggest alternative styles that create the illusion of fullness.
