The high fade cut is characterized by the gradual shortening of hair on the sides and back, transitioning to longer hair on the top. This fade typically starts higher up on the head compared to other fade styles, creating a striking contrast. It can be paired with various hairstyles on top, from quiffs and pompadours to curly textures and slick backs.
How is a High Fade Cut Different from Other Fade Cuts?
While all fade cuts involve transitioning hair lengths, the high fade cut stands out due to its starting point. Here are some differences:
- Starting Point: The high fade begins around the temples, while low fades start closer to the ears.
- Length Variability: The high fade allows for more length on top, making it versatile with different hairstyles.
- Style Impact: The high fade cut gives a more dramatic and modern appearance compared to other fade styles.
Who Should Get a High Fade Cut?
The high fade cut is suitable for a variety of face shapes and hair types. However, it particularly complements individuals with:
- Square or oval faces
- Thick or coarse hair
- Wavy or curly hair textures
