Do you want to look more approachable? Try incorporating softer lines into your hairstyle. Or do you prefer the stricter, no-nonsense look of a drill sergeant? Try using more hard-edge, sharp lines in your look.

Flat Top and High Fade

An excellent way to compliment any hairstyle and give it that added touch of “summer is here” feel is by adding a high fade.

Taking what was once casual, sophisticated and making it sportier. The flat top is not a hairstyle known for its breathability; the high fade variation of this style will help cool you down during the more unforgiving days of summer.

Tapered Sides with Afro Line Up

Afro flat tops just look pure class, I mean just look at this with impeccable panache. All of that plus the sides are so clean, the undercut is subtle that is further enhanced by the taper. The fade is quite low, probably lower than drop fade which makes it quite unique.

Classic Taper Fade

Taking the sporty flat top look even further; here we see the fade being taken to its lowest point; absolute zero.

Clean lines and crisp edges all around yet more civilian and less military than the crew cut flat top, this is the perfect style if you play sports regularly or frequent the gym more than a couple of times a week.

Flat Top Temple Fade

It is believed by historians that King Tutankhamen ruled ancient Egypt from 1334 – 1325 BC. If you’re a fan of the Pharos of Egypt, then this next flat-top temple fade style should be right up your alley.

The base gradually gets wider going up where it crescendoes at the top giving it a sort of inverted pyramid look. This pays homage to the pharaohs of yesteryear and is a great way to walk like an Egyptian.
