14. Brush Up

Is the classic brush-up your go-to hairstyle? Matching it with a taper is highly recommended as it can balance off the length of your hair and keep it neat and clean. The fade on the sides makes it suitable as both a casual style and business professional haircut.

Beards and fades are just meant to be together. That’s because the taper fade’s clean-cut and polished look balances off the beard’s rugged and masculine vibe.  

Pro Tip: If you have short hair or a shaved head, the best option would be low tapering which starts at the temples and goes around at the back of your head. 

16. Skin Taper Fade

As compared to other types of haircuts, the skin taper fade is considered to be the shortest as it exposes the skin on the sides of your head. It’s the perfect match for short and voluminous hairstyles like the one in the picture.

There’s no doubt that dreadlocks are one of the most stylish protective hairstyles you can get your hands on. But if we’re being honest, it can get a bit overwhelming, especially if you have no time to style your hair.

Lucky for you, adding a tapered fade can give you better control over this unruly hairstyle and make it look even more stylish in the process.

Despite being less dramatic than mohawks, faux hawks still might not fit the everyday hairstyle category. The good news is adding taper fade can make this hairstyle more wearable. The fade gives you a subtle gradient between your long top and the fully shaved sides, making the entire look more tamed and casual.

For a sharper and edgier look, incorporate designs in your taper fade. It’s the best way to express your creativity and personality since the sky is the limit with hair designs. You can go for drawings (like this one), symbols, letters, or lines. You can even choose to place it either on the side or back of your head.
