How to style a low taper fade?

Styling a low taper fade involves accentuating the clean lines and smooth gradient of the cut. Use a dime-sized amount of pomade or matte clay for hold and work it through damp or dry hair. Comb it for a sleek finish or use fingers for texture.

Versatile Styles to Pair with Your Burst Fade

The burst fade is a bold, versatile haircut featuring a curved fade around the ears and hairline, unlike the classic fade’s straight line. It suits various hair types, enhancing head shape and blending smoothly with longer hair on top.

This style pairs well with mohawks, mullets, pompadours, and natural curls or waves. The burst fade mohawk highlights a central strip, while the mullet adds retro length. It creates clean contrast for curly or afro-textured hair, setting it apart from other fades.

Burst Fade Haircuts

The burst fade is a dynamic haircut that features a curved fade around the ears, creating a “burst” effect that naturally blends into the longer hair on top and back. This versatile style works well with various hair textures and lengths, making it a favourite for those wanting a fresh, contemporary look. At Fade Artist, we offer several variations of the burst fade to suit your personality and lifestyle.

Low Burst Fade

The low burst fade starts just above the ear, providing a subtle yet stylish fade that blends smoothly into the rest of your hair. This version is ideal for clients seeking a clean, professional look that’s easy to maintain. It pairs well with short to medium hair lengths on top and is perfect for those who want a modern cut without going too bold.

Mid Burst Fade

The mid-burst fade offers a more noticeable contrast by starting the fade higher on the head, around the temple area. This style adds more drama and shape, making it a great option for those who want to stand out. It works beautifully with textured or wavy hair and can be combined with trendy hairstyles like the textured crop or pompadour.

High Burst Fade

For a bold and edgy look, the high burst fade begins well above the ears, creating a sharp and dramatic fade line. This style is perfect for clients who want a statement haircut that highlights volume and texture on top. It pairs exceptionally well with longer hairstyles such as the burst fade mullet or mohawk, delivering a modern, fashion-forward appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a burst fade haircut last?

Most burst fades maintain a sharp, clean look for about 2–3 weeks, depending on your hair growth rate. To keep your fade looking fresh and well-defined, regular touch-ups every 2–3 weeks are recommended.

Is a burst fade suitable for all hair types?

Absolutely. The burst fade is versatile and works well with all hair types, including straight, curly, wavy, and thick textures. Our skilled barbers customize the fade technique to complement your natural hair texture and style preferences.

What’s the difference between a burst fade and a regular fade?

A burst fade features a curved taper that wraps around the ear in a circular pattern, creating a distinctive “burst” shape. In contrast, a classic fade follows a straight line down the sides and back of the head, offering a more uniform and linear look.

How do I style a burst fade at home?

To style your burst fade, use lightweight styling products such as pomade, cream, or curl-enhancing products tailored to your hair type. Maintain the sharp edges and fade shape by scheduling regular barber visits, and consider using a watchful eye to keep the style looking polished.

What face shapes suit a burst fade?

The burst fade suits most face shapes, especially oval and round faces, as its curved shape adds balance and definition. It also complements various head shapes by enhancing volume and creating a stylish silhouette. If you prefer, consult with your barber to tailor the fade to your unique face and head shape.
