#29: Low Bald Fade with Pompadour
The short pompadour with the low bald fade haircut is timeless and diverse that can accomplish multiple looks. The best aspect of a fade that’s bald is its diversity. Whether you’re the CEO of a large company or the next Dr. Dre, this cut looks clean, sleek, mature, and complex while keeping it stylish, modern, and edgy. All that being said, bald fades are not necessarily for everyone.
For instance, for men with a rounder face and head, I would suggest getting a low bald fade with length on top due to the transition ending in a longer length. This creates a square look transitioning from the ear to the parietal ridge, ultimately creating a straight vertical line rather than taking the shape of the head. Belcourt found that a longer pompadour and a straight blade “hard part” look very sharp.
#30: Medium Bald Fade with Part
This is a medium bald fade with a part. I went off the natural texture of his hair, starting the bald blend low and gradually fading into a #2 or 1/4 inch into the side with the part. I did a shear work on top (point cutting technique), then finished it with straight razor work on the line-up, the hard part, and the neckline. Considering it’s such a tight fade, it must also be kept looking fresh. I recommend getting it cut every 2 weeks to maintain the best results.
Also, the rounder the head shape or the thicker the hair texture, you can take the fade to blend a little higher on the sides. On the other hand, the slimmer the head shape or, the thinner the hair texture, you should leave the fade lower and slightly over the ears (the bald part).
#31: Bald Fade Faux Hawk
The bald fade faux hawk perfectly blends the skin-to-hair transition. The smooth skin faded into limitless possibilities for the top of the head. The greatest thing about the skin fade haircut is that it can be paired with any style on the top, including a combover, buzzcut, textured crop, and spikes.
This style requires consistent maintenance for an average of 2 weeks to keep the hair looking crispy and fresh. Be prepared to see your barber often. Find one that you can have a long-term relationship with. Usually, fades require frequent cuts to maintain the proper length.
#32: Bald Fade Buzz Cut
This men’s bald fade haircut with a buzz cut is urban but classic. The coolest thing about a very short fade is the transition from short to long. The first thing I would look for is to see if they have any scars or lesions on their scalp. This cut is perfect for a guy who is thinning on top. It brings out the hair and makes it looks less thin on top. I think fades are great styles for most guys.
What is a Bald Fade Haircut?
The bald fade haircut is a faded hairstyle that features longer hair on top and short back and sides, usually shaved down to the skin (bald). The fade refers to the smooth transition from the top of the hair to the neckline, with the hair going down to skin level. Precise blending is used when creating the bald fade.
How to Cut a Bald Fade with Clippers?
When doing bald fade haircuts, it’s essential to know where the fade would start. This distinguishes which guard size to utilize.
Use clippers to remove extra bulk from the hair on the sides and the back area. Some stylists also use shears when removing a lot of lengths. To achieve the seamless and natural-looking fade, changing the size of the clippers or the guard would do the trick.
Bald Fade vs Skin Fade
A bald fade and skin fade are the same. Both refer to the skin around the sides and nape being cut so short that it appears bald and skin is completely visible.
This is the one that delivers the high contrast effect between your skin and hair color, which is the reason why this fade is of the more popular styles. A cool benefit of this contemporary bald haircut is that it can prolong the time between barber sessions, as it will take a while before your hair grows out again from bare skin. Another is that it has very low upkeep and can lessen the amount of hair you need to style while still keeping an impressive look.
