Asking your barber for a bald fade on the back and sides is only half the haircut puzzle. The other comes from what’s on top of your head. So to help you complete the job, here are some of the best cuts to accompany it.

6. Bald Fade With Textured Crop

Thanks to a certain period drama, the textured crop has become one of the most popular haircuts of today. However, the undercut sported by Tommy Shelby can appear quite harsh and certainly isn’t for everyone, so consider toning it down with a fade.

“Ask your barber for a bald fade on the back and sides with a short choppy texture on top and a cropped fringe,” says Joth Davies, master barber and founder of Savills in Sheffield.

“But be warned, skin fades grow out very quickly due to the scalp exposure, meaning most people need to visit their barber on average every two weeks to maintain the look,” he adds.

7. Bald Fade With Pompadour

As timeless as it is tall, the pompadour is one throwback cut that never seems to lose its appeal, but that’s not to say it can’t be updated for the modern man.

“Ask for a bald fade on the sides and back. A barber will know what you mean and guide you for what is right for your face shape,” says Russell Brittle from Pall Mall Barbers in London. “As for the top, you want a pompadour style, leaving the fringe area longer than the crown. Ask your barber to slice in for added texture.”

When it comes to creating the finished look, you’ll need a blow-dryer, some sea salt spray and a styling hair product. “Wet look is achieved by using pomade,” says Brittle. “If you’re looking for a matte finish make sure you use a pliable clay.”
