Men’s fade haircuts are one of the most popular men’s haircuts combining sharp, clean edges with contemporary styling.

In our daily blog, we’ll outline what a fade is, how it works, the upkeep involved, and tips for styling your fade. If you’re in Oxfordshire and considering this men’s fade, here’s everything you need to know.

Men's Fades FAQ's

What is a fade?

A fade is a men’s haircutting technique where the hair transitions from long to short from the top to the side and back. With the gradual change in length from long to short, this is in reference to the term ‘fade’.

Fades are often paired with other styles, such as pompadours, crew cuts, or textured crops, making them adaptable for a variety of looks. For more information about men’s fades, this blog can help.

What are the different types of fades?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fades. The type you choose depends on your personal style and how bold or subtle you want the look to be. If you aren’t quite ready for a fade, a crew cut may be an option.

Low Fade:

Begins just above the ears and curves around the nape of the neck.
Ideal for a subtle, professional look.

Mid Fade:

Starts halfway up the sides of the head.
Offers a balanced, versatile style suitable for both casual and formal occasions.

High Fade:

Begins near the temples and creates a dramatic, high-contrast look.
Best for those who want a bold and modern hairstyle.

Skin Fade (Bald Fade):

The hair tapers down to the skin for a super-clean finish.
Perfect for a polished, sharp appearance.

Taper Fade:

A more subtle version where the fade transitions gradually and stops above the natural hairline.
Great for men who prefer a conservative approach.

Would a fade work for me?

Fades are incredibly versatile and suit most men. However, certain factors can influence the type of fade that works best for you:

Face Shape:

Round faces benefit from higher fades to elongate the face.
Oval faces can pull off almost any fade style.

Hair Type:

Straight hair works well with all fade types.
Curly or wavy hair adds a unique dimension to fades, especially with a textured top.

Lifestyle:

High-maintenance fades like skin fades require regular touch-ups.
Taper fades are lower maintenance and ideal for busy schedules.

Do fades work well with facial hair?

With the right facial hair or beard, the transition from short to beard length can prove incredibly stylish. Typically the ‘hipster’ beard is a common pairing with a fade, particularly common with a skin fade. If you want to blend your beard with your fade, just ask your Stylist. They can use sharp blades or shavers to achieve this look.

Conclusion

A fade is a statement haircut that can be standout from the crowd. Whether you’re after a subtle taper or a bold high fade, this haircut can make it a top choice for men across Oxfordshire.
