A high fade is one of the favorite black haircut styles for men who want to look fashionable. While a low fade tends to look more like a classic cut, a high fade is a younger, more modern style.

#35: Textured Temple Fade

This fade haircut falls into the temple fade category because the fade curves above the ears. To get more texture on top, ask for hair that is just over an inch long. Then use a nourishing cream to define curls. Natural products made from oils and nut butters will work best.

#36: Retro High Top Fade

For men who want that old school pompadour look, opt for a high top that is lower towards the back. This look is all about the shape, and can be a challenge to describe. Be sure to bring in pictures, especially when you’re after something unique or retro.

#37: Temple and Nape Fade

A curly fade is the best of both worlds. You get the height and volume on top without having the look of long hair. This is a popular style on the east coast, and it’s often done as a temple fade.

#38: Dreaded High Fade

Black men hairstyles are always an opportunity for creativity because of the sculptural nature of the hair. Here, a high to the skin fade is paired with short dreads. Ombre bleached ends add extra style. Keep hair back off the face by putting dreads in ponytails and buns.

#39: Naturally Textured Fade

Super tight curls are the perfect texture for a high top fade haircut because of the defined volume and height on top. Hair care for black people always comes down to the same thing: moisture. Don’t over wash your hair and avoid products that could be drying.
