A tapered haircut is usually longer in the crown and top areas and:

  1. Evenly cut across the back

  2. Shorter in the nape

  3. Left natural at the temples

  4. Buzzed at the sides

The correct answer is: Shorter in the nape

A is incorrect because a tapered haircut typically involves varying lengths on different sections of the head, so cutting the back evenly would not create a tapered effect. C is incorrect because leaving the temples natural is not a defining characteristic of a tapered haircut. D is incorrect because buzzing the sides would result in a more disconnected or undercut style, rather than a tapered look.
