Clean and Slick Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@james_beaumont

The ultimate gentleman’s cut is here—it’s a clean and slick fade haircut, created by James Beaumont, a top-notch barber from Exmouth, UK.

“This style is a contour hairstyle that has a low skin fade, parting on the left and at the front top. The hair pulls towards the back creating a sculptured shape, almost silhouetting a pompadour shape from one side angle,” Beaumont describes.

Beaumont’s advice for men wanting to adopt this look is to have a consultation with a stylist or barber. The ideal head shape would be as flat and smooth as possible, avoiding indents or ridges which can cause shadows within the fading. “Medium to fine hair texture is best, avoiding a thick density so the hair can be manipulated to grow backward. If the hair is thick then we would require a longer length of that style,” Beaumont explains.

Cool fade haircuts like this need to be blow-dried when styling. Thus, these are only ideal for gentlemen who are willing to put a little time into preparing their style daily.

Kids’ Fade Haircut

@rosie.designs

This kids’ haircut is a clean, short fade combover, as per style creator Rosie Fernandez of Las Vegas. It’s pretty versatile for any hair type as long as you have the personality to carry it off.

“If the boy has curly hair, I would recommend a high shine pomade for a clean, detailed style. If he has straight hair, I would go more for a dry paste for a matte, messy style,” Fernandez suggests.

Drop Fade on French Crop

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@chrisj224_barber

This look is a masculine French crop with a drop fade. What’s great about this cut would be how the layers sit just about the fringe, creating a lot of texture and movement. This cut also complements a short fringe towards the hairline that was textured using the point-cutting technique.

This creation is by barber Christopher Pickin of the UK. “If you are considering having this type of cut and have thick hair with a strong jawline, then I would consider having a longer fringe. If you have finer to thin hair consider more of a blunt short fringe,” Pickin states.

Taper Fade Haircut

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@tray_fadez23

This is called a taper fade haircut by barber Tray Fadez of Forth Worth, TX. It’s also faded from the sideburns to just in the back. Fadez mentions, “I love the shaded look to this style and the way it blends. Its dark edges give you a really smooth and soft look that stands out, but also brings out the rest of the cut.”

Fadez adds, “My best tip for getting this hairstyle is to ask yourself if you’re ok with a faded look. Most dudes who haven’t had it tried it out and loved it. It can really stand out and make a difference in your men’s hairstyle.”

Normally this looks starts with a zero but it can also be started with a one or a two. That’s called a light taper, according to Fadez.

Mid Fade Haircut with Design

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@aztroo

This is a mid-skin fade with a beautiful sharp pattern consisting of four consecutive arcs containing subtle fading within them. The top of the fade is heavily textured to resemble a popular European hairstyle known as a crop, making it a really unique haircut!

Barber Enrique Tapia of California made this mid-fade haircut. According to Tapia, it requires little to no maintenance as with most haircuts with lots of texture. “Before applying any product, I make sure to blowdry the hair thoroughly while running my hands through the client’s hair instead of using a brush. After the hair is dry, I set the blow dryer on cool to help seal the cuticle and safely lock the hair in place,” he explains.

Before sitting at the barber shop and going under the blade for a similar design, it’s important to consider the following. A hair design grows back fairly quickly. With just a clipper/trimmer, you’re looking at three to four days before you start to see hair build-up.

With a razor blade finish, the design should be able to last you a good week or so. These are one of the cons of getting a hair design. Tapia recommends visiting an experienced barber who is familiar with symmetric designs and is great with a straight razor.

Slick Back Haircut with Fade

This is a signature classic slick back haircut with a fade, designed by Liam Kenny, a barber from England.

The product Kenny personally uses when styling is the Ruezel pomades. They give good texture and finish with a matte look that still has just the right amount of shine.

Mid-Skin Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @caseys_cuts_nj

This is a mid-skin fade clipper cut. Stylist Casey Terramoccia of New Jersey used a number 2 on top, but since everyone’s hair is different, the size on top will vary based on the barber’s discretion and your hair type. “I like this look because it’s a very simple, classic, and clean-cut look. The beard also stands out because the top length is so short,” Terramoccia notes.

No need for products here. At the very most, Terramoccia says a beard oil might be used to add a smooth shine and softness to the beard.

This mid bald fade is recommended for a guy who doesn’t want to fuss with their hair. A rounder head shape would work best with this look, too, according to Terramoccia.

Shadow Fade

To be honest, a fade really never gets old. And it isn’t for young gents only. See for yourself what a nice shadow fade can do to you.

Undercut Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @natejcutler

This is a tight, undercut fade. The top was cut with a straight razor to bring out texture and remove weight.

Barber Nate Juergensen of New York points out, “I really like this faded undercut because of the contrast between the clean and tight sides and the soft top with lots of movement.”

“Fades work on most hair types to show natural head shape. Men interested in getting this faded cut should be prepared to get the sides and back cleaned up monthly,” Juergensen adds.

Low to Mid Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @jm_the_barber

This is a classic low/mid skin fade cut by Josh Mathur, a barber in St. Helens.

“The fade isn’t too harsh, meaning this style works great for the “get up and go” guys and the more corporate ones, too,” Mathur emphasizes.

He adds, “I’d recommend this style to guys who aren’t afraid to visit the barber at least once a week and want to achieve that clean and fresh look. To keep a skin fade looking fresh, a regular visit to your barber is key.”

Most men can have this style, though the best results are seen with thicker and darker hair. This look works wonders for a longer face shape, but will also work on the more common oval shape. High fade haircuts on men with a longer face shape are a big no-no.

Asian Fade Haircut

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @ganiealvaro

This is an Asian high fade, natural medium-length comb over hairstyle. Stylist Ganie Alvaro from Dubai, recommends using a sea salt spray product to create the texturized volume for loose and natural tousled waves, plus a texturizing clay and a bit of hairspray to finish.

“Guys with a thick or medium thick hair type on a round or slightly round face shape can wear high fade haircuts. Any kind of lifestyle can pull off this cut and style,” Alvaro explains.

Low Skin Fade Haircut

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @cairan_mclaughlin

This is a low skin fade haircut. According to stylist Cairan Mclaughlin of Australia, the best thing about this low bald fade is that it’s a nice clean look for a guy who doesn’t want too much maintenance.

A dry look product, which is nothing too heavy, is recommended to style this hair.

Mclaughlin also suggests this type of style to guys who want a look that’s easy to maintain, but still stylish at the same time. “This cut always looks good when the man has thick hair because the fade is more pronounced.”

Long Hair with Faded Shaved Sides

Low Triple Zero and Side Part Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @jasminekathleenn

Here’s a hairstyle that’s an “Ivy League” side part with a low triple zero fade, designed by barber Jasmine Shipley from Australia.

“I recommend this side part fade for men who want to look sharp and fashionable. Medium to thick hair is preferable. Since this is a sharp and square-cut, the look can be worn by most face shapes – giving them a straight and sleek appearance,” Shipley explains.

Short Fade Haircut with a Line Up

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@dalehince_barber

This short fade haircut is shaved with a mid-skin line up. Created by stylist Dale Hince of England, this is based on the man’s hair and skin color naturally.

“I love the impact I have created how short/ textured the top is against the crispy clean box line up along with the mid bald skin fade,” Hince notes.

According to Hince, your barber should always recommend his/her opinion depending on suitability. He adds, “this style is very low-maintenance because it’s so short you don’t have to do much in the mornings. Just add your matte clay or slick Gorilla texturizing powder, rough it through, and spray!”

Mohawk Fade Haircut

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @moisesgtz_barberlifestyle

This haircut is called a skin low fade without a drop and scissors on top, which means about an inch off-cut into a mohawk on top.

“What I really like about this haircut is the skin fade. I like how the low fade goes from light to dark from bottom to top and it blends perfectly on top leaving a perfect blend,” Mexico-based barber Moises Gutierrez states.

This look is for younger kids, young adults, and teenagers. This cut works best on mostly thick hair, wavy hair, and straight hair. Any face shape can wear this faded cut, too.

This is a bold fade with a combover, cut by hairdresser Abe Alobaidi of Riverview, MI.

“What I like about it is that it’s very clean-cut and keeps you fresh for a long time. With this look, you could go at least three weeks before you need another cut. I recommend this look for guys with dark hair,” Alobaidi notes.

High Bald Fade

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas / @_moozilla

This cut is a high bald fade haircut with the fade starting at the parietal ridge and fading to the desired length on top.

Stylist Martika Mitchell of North Carolina says, “for men with curly hair, you can use a curl sponge to maintain the top. For straight hair or any other hair type, you can use a pomade or nothing at all.”

According to Mitchell, “bald fades are very versatile and they can be cut on any hair type. They’re best for the “get up and go” lifestyle and require little to no maintenance.”

Low Fade Haircut

46 Best Men’s Fade Haircut Ideas

@edandguysbarbershop

Here’s a low fade style by barber and salon owner Edward from Haltom City, TX.

“I suggest complementing a low fade haircut with a well-groomed beard. This creates a contrast in textures between your fade and your facial hair,” explains Edward.

The barber suggests Suavecito Pomade when recreating the style because it provides moderate hold and a matte finish.

Edward also adds, “the low fade starts extremely low with the skin at the very bottom, then blends up from that point, following the natural curvature of the head. It’s a good option for a more oblong, diamond, or triangular head shape.”

Fade Haircut with Line
