Thebaldfade, in particular, is having a major moment right now.
The skin fade (as its also commonly called) can be applied to nearly any hairstyle and length.
Burst Fade
@nikolay_generalov
Davie recommends this style for those with oblongface shapes.
Stocksy
“The stretching of this fade can also elongate the face, thus allowing more facial balance.”
“For added flair, apply some matte-clay pomade to showcase the natural texture.”
“Its complemented by a natural shape along the hairline, which looks great in any setting.”
@pillar__chris
Keep those corners a bit darker for a more ‘burst’ effect to the fade.
Be sure to taper both the neckline and sides for a more symmetrical look."
“Consider this if you have a longer neck and face profile.”
@horatiuthebarber
“This gives you the nice contrast between the sides and the top of the head.
But what do you do if you want to keep thesideburns?
Thats what you call sideburns that narrow down to a fine point along the ear.
@nikolay_generalov
This style gives you maximum definition around the face and adds contrast to the rest of the fade.
Gentleman’s Cut with High Skin Fade
Davie likes this square cut for round faces.
“Add a slick pomade and comb the sides down for your next business meeting or formal event.”
@horatiuthebarber
Fade to Flat Top
@postybarber
Vintage is he new modern.
“This adds updated style without sacrificing old-school class.”
What starts out as a bald fade transitions into shaved, textured top with a clean hairline.
@horatiuthebarber
A longer, slightly morenatural beardserves as a nice complement to the look.
In most cases, this haircut is best left to the pros.
