The Taper Fade haircut is usually known for its smooth, gradual transition from one length to another.
A classic taper cut is simply a short haircut where the sides and back are cut progressively shorter down toward the neck, with even blending throughout. The hair on the top of the head is also tapered, but can be cut quite short, or left long enough to part or style with gel or pomade. A cool taper fade haircut will be your ally in any type of circumstance, so let’s explore possible ideas!
What is Fade?
Taper Fade is a haircut that consists of shaving the hair from small to large on the sides and back. The fade chosen in the haircut has a major impact on the final look.
In this article, we present some variants of fade haircuts that you can ask your barber when you go for a haircut. If you want a modern haircut that highlights you, then you will want a fade made as well as possible.
In addition, to fade, the length of the hair at the top can be short, medium or long. If you choose the length of the hair to belong at the top, you can arrange it in several ways: slick-back, natural, messy or on the back, with a wet look.
There are generally three types of fade: low fade, mid fade or high fade. For each type of fade, your barber will use the hair clipper to achieve hair loss from very short or even shaved hair to a longer length of hair, towards the top of the head. If you want a non-conformist look you can ask for a hard part or model haircut.
Types of Fade Hairdressers According to Your Style
Low fade, mid-fade and high fade are the most used techniques in haircuts of this kind. Such fading haircuts are made based on several factors, and among them, the following are essential:
- The shape of the face dictates from the very beginning the type of fade haircut.
- The thickness and density of the hair largely dictate the type of fade cutter for men.
- Curly or wavy hair requires extra attention and a special hair clipper.
- If you opt for a little longer hair on the top of the head, then the sides can also be stylized longer.
