25 Zero Fade Haircuts to Look Younger Instantly

Faded haircuts are really popular among guys nowadays who want to try short haircuts. A zero fade is one of the shortest possible haircuts as ‘zero fade’ cuts the hair down to the minimal length. There is usually still a slight shadow, so it is not a completely clean shaved look, rather a little stubble look on your hair.

How to Get A Zero Fade Haircut

Most men will go to a barber if they want a zero fade. It is quite hard to do this cut on yourself, because of the level of precision that is required. It is easiest to get a zero fade by using a special type of hair trimmer. These trimmers are improving all of the time to give shorter and shorter fades. Zero fades require regular maintenance to keep the hair nice and short.

Messy Top

Opt for a high zero fade on the sides and style a longer back and top. If your hair is naturally straight, lift it into a messy voluminous hairstyle. If you want a more glamorous look, you can dye your hair into a dark burgundy that will be more noticeable when you step into the sunlight.

The zero fade haircut will help you get a gorgeous contrast between the hairless sides and back and the thick long braids from the crown area. If you don’t have long hair in the top section, you can always order braided extensions or Jumbo hair online to create long knits.
