Low Fade Vs High Fade Haircuts: What's The Best Style For Your Face Shape?

You’re already beginning to see how different fade types can be mixed and matched to make new, unique styles. Here, the drop fade (see how it dips down in the back?) is combined with the high fade for a modern twist on a classic. Fades can feature any length of hair on top – we’ve seen some great taper fades with super-long hair on top, and others where the hair looks nearly buzzed on top.

A long side swept hairstyle is a cool look for men who want a distinctly different and equally dapper approach. The short low burst fade on the sides highlights the brushed up wavy style on top for a sharp, next-level finish. A mid burst fade is a low-maintenance style that can liven up your short textured quiff. The fade goes high enough on the sides to keep your look sharp while leaving enough length in the back to keep balance throughout the look. It is important to note that there is a difference between a taper and a fade.

A fade haircut blends the hair along the sides and back of the head into the longer hair on top. There are different types of fade haircuts, and the kind you pick depends on your hair and style. Your taper fade can start high, mid or low and can be cut into the skin or just very short. How you fade your hair will determine whether you get a taper, skin, bald, drop, temp, or undercut fade haircut. While there are many different types of fades, the most common kinds are the high, mid, and low fade haircuts. To ask your barber for a fade, guys should start by describing where they want the fading to begin on the sides of the head.

Thus, keep it discreet at work and draw everyone’s attention by pulling hair up into a high pony or a bun. While high fades begin around the temples and medium fades start midway above the ears, low fades have a lower fade line around the ear level. This kind of fade makes the hair appear longer because the long portion covers more of the head than the short, faded portion. Medium (or mid) fades start lower down than high fades, usually midway above the ears.

You can get a skin fade while keeping the top of your hair long enough for a quiff or a pompadour. Skin fades also look great with short cuts if you aren’t a fan of styling your hair every day. The undercut fade shortens very quickly and suddenly, and then tapers gradually. Guys can get a high, mid, or low undercut fade to suit their hairstyle. If you aren’t quite sure about the high or low fade cuts, then mid fade haircuts provide versatility. Next up in terms of height on the side of the head is the low fade.

This is a clean, precise look that will require a little more maintenance to look its best. Keeping a short, even fringe at the front hairline makes this a Caesar-style cut, and where the fade line begins (at the temples) makes it a high fade. Since the fade is shaved down to the skin, this is a great example of a skin fade. We like the long top pushed back for a debonair style that works on straight, curly, wavy, or coily hair.

A short messy hairstyle with a high fade is a sharp look with attitude that’s been designed to show off your manly features. You can improve this naturally tousled style with a skin taper and a neatly trimmed beard for extra personality. The faux hawk fade is a versatile choice for modern gents who want a bold and daring hairstyle. Going for a high bald fade is a brilliant way to add structure to this effortless look. While the brush up is a youthful look that exudes boyish charm, you can still mature the cut by asking your barber for a fringed drop fade. By emphasizing the fringe in the front and keeping more hair in the back, you’ll leave the chair with a fully balanced look.

The shape up creates sharp lines in the hairline, and the trimmed facial hair let’s you know this guy is serious about maintaining the perfect beard. This burst taper fade on back and sides enhances the mohawk haircut on top. Mohawks are edgy and badass, and can be styled with wavy, curly, thick and straight hair. The high skin fade is a bold haircut for men who want to effortlessly transition the hair on the sides and back into the scalp. Also known as a bald fade, this style will create a smooth finish that looks and feels good. If you want to take your cut to the next level, ask your barber for a skin taper that highlights your styling on top.

Retain your precious locks (hey, not everyone has any) with the bald low fade, or skin fade. A messy top descends quickly into a close shave, and you can rock it brushed forward or side-parted—whatever takes your fancy. A stunning union of the 50s pompadour and the categorically (20)20s low fade, the low drop fade with pompadour makes a gallant gentleman of anyone. Seen on famous heads like that of Elvis Presley, it’s a sure winner every time.

The flat top with a high fade is a classic look for any black man. The hair stands tall and the top of it is leveled off with clippers for that perfectly executed cut. If you want to try a new variation of a buzzed look, try this buzzed high and tight.

Similar to a taper, this keeps your neckline clean without getting too severe. A shaved part and a low burst fade can be a refreshing twist to the show-stopping faux hawk. The part adds a touch of separation, and the low burst fade emphasizes the ‘hawk’ look even further.

Regardless of whether you are cutting your hair at home or going to a professional, make sure to do your haircut with clean hair. The pompadour is an iconic style for modern gents that can look more distinguished with a burst fade on the sides. Its height is visible from far away and its shine is a beacon of style. This iteration adds another layer with the burst fade, allowing for wild texture and a finished look that’s unlike any other. For a new and flattering take on the brushed forward French crop, ask your stylist for a burst taper. Taking a step away from the traditional fade, this technique is even fainter and cleans up the sides just enough to make your jaw look stronger.

This subtle fade haircut is balanced out by messy tresses on top, which you can faux-hawk or no-hawk as you wish. Check out the low bald fade, a tight cut developing into a longer chop on top. A suave haircut for men of all colors and creeds, try this one on for size.

Make your mop a work of art with a low fade with hair design cut. Using a ‘0’ on the clippers, your barber will etch a sleek pattern in your fade, while you’ll keep messy tresses on top. Step aside, ill-advised tattoos, we’re all about temporary hair art. Channel your inner GI Joe (honestly, it works), with a low fade buzz cut with a line-up. This get-up-and-go hairstyle is a terrific choice for the low-maintenance among us, though you should spruce it up every few weeks. Spice up your natural hair color with light highlights and cut the bangs to add feminine vibes to this bold boyish look.
