Add some unique character to your hairstyle without being too flashy about it. Like the high fade haircut, the low fade will still give you considerably sharper-looking sides.

A step above the classic and a notch below the high, meet the low fade haircut.

If you’ve been eager to try out a fade hairstyle, then this is a great first step. This look pairs well with almost any haircut, whether you want a buzz cut, a pointy faux hawk, or cool slicked back hair.

As the name suggests, the low fade features sides that vanish around mid height or lower. Generally, the back of your head will have roughly a one-inch fade that ends near the bottom. Just remember, some barbers will have their own idea of where things should stop.

You’ll discover a considerable amount of variety with males sporting thick and thin hair plus the different types of fade you can get.

1. Low Taper Fade

Having a tapered fade means that you have a slower transition from your long hair at the top to the short hair by your ears. The taper fade looks great on more or less every man and is a great way to style your hair.

Also known as a shadow fade, the low taper fade haircut looks universally good with any hairstyle on the top. You’ll need an expert barber to make it perfect and you’ll also need regular cuts to ensure that your haircut stays sharp.

2. Low Skin Fade

With a taper fade, you’ll still be leaving some hair on the sides of your head but with the skin fade haircut, there is next to none. It’s a more aggressive men’s hairstyle as you’ll end up with sides where people can see the skin on the side of your head, which is why it’s also called a bald fade.
