We can never get enough men’s grooming tips from master barber and founder of Victor Barber & Brand Matty Conrad (@mattyconrad). So when we got the opportunity to host a Facebook Live with Matty on the rooftop of the William Vale Hotel in Brooklyn—where he was demoing a trendy, high fade with disconnected texture—we were all over it.

Since curly hair has a tendency to default to a round shape, Matty explained how to keep the shape square, while creating a tight, cropped cut—transforming his model, Grant’s, curly mop into something much more handsome.
