Faded Haircuts is an independent guide to one thing: fade haircuts. We cover every fade type, every height and the styles people pair them with, so you can choose a cut with confidence and explain it clearly in the barber’s chair.
What we cover
- Fade types: taper, low, mid, high, skin, bald, burst, drop and temple fades
- Fade styles: mullets, mohawks, crops, comb overs, buzz cuts, beard fades and designs
- Fades for every hair type, from afro and curly hair to long and straight hair
- Practical guides: comparisons, guard numbers, maintenance and cutting a fade at home
How we write our guides
Each guide explains what the cut is, who it suits, how long it lasts between trims and what to ask for at the shop. We describe haircuts by the terms barbers actually use, and we update guides when trends or terminology change.
We are not paid by barbershops or brands to feature a style. If a page ever includes an affiliate link, it will be clearly labeled.
