A fade haircut is one of the most versatile and stylish cuts out there, but not all fades are created equal. Whether you’re going for a low fade, mid fade, high fade, or skin fade, the right choice depends on your hair type, face shape, and personal style. If you’ve ever left the barber shop feeling like your fade wasn’t quite what you wanted, chances are you didn’t ask for the right version of the cut.
At Casse-Tête, we believe in crafting precise, intentional fades that match your look and lifestyle. But to get the best results, it helps to know what to ask for.
1. What’s the Difference Between a Low, Mid, and High Fade?
✔ Low Fade – A subtle, gradual fade that starts just above the ear. Works well for professional and natural styles.
✔ Mid Fade – The fade begins around the temple, offering a balanced, modern look. A go-to for those who want a noticeable fade without too much contrast.
✔ High Fade – The fade starts near the top of the head, creating a bold, high-contrast look.
✂ Pro Tip: If you want a fade that grows out well, mid fades are the most versatile option.
2. What is a Skin Fade vs. a Taper Fade?
✔ Skin Fade – The fade goes down to the skin for a clean, razor-sharp finish. Best for those who like ultra-clean lines.
✔ Taper Fade – A more gradual blend that transitions smoothly into longer lengths.
✂ Pro Tip: Skin fades require regular touch-ups to keep them looking sharp, while taper fades grow out more naturally.
3. How to Maintain Your Fade
✔ Schedule touch-ups every 2-3 weeks to keep it fresh.
✔ Use a light pomade or matte clay to style the top without making it look greasy.
✔ Brush & taper daily to maintain definition.
