High Taper Fade

The high taper fade is for guys who want a bold, sharp look that really stands out. Unlike the low or mid fade, this one starts much higher up the sides, close to the top, creating a stronger contrast between the faded part and the hair left on top. It gives any haircut a cleaner, more defined edge right away.

Since so much of the sides is faded down, this style really puts the focus on whatever you’re doing up top curls, waves, a spiky look, a textured crop, or even something slicked back. It works well for guys who like a bit of an edgy, modern vibe, but it’s also surprisingly easy to maintain since there’s less hair overall to manage day-to-day.
