#1: Short Pompadour with a Hard Part and Low Fade

A tidy classic that can be adapted is a pomp, as seen with this short pompadour with a hard part and low fade. The fade has been put in low, and a lot of weight has been left to control the top. The part has been sectioned from the corner of the hairline and taken back to the crown. This comb over taper style is ideal for men with double crowns since the weight and length allow for more control. A good pomade will give you control and shine.

#2: Beard Fade with a Low Comb Over

Don’t forget to incorporate that facial hair if you’re rocking a clean cut! A perfect example is this beard fade with a low comb over. I suggest this option for anyone who is contemplating growing their facial hair. Don’t be concerned with keeping it looking neat and professional.

#3: Full Slick Back Combover

Try a full slick back combover if you want a stylish, clean-cut haircut. A low bald fade on the sides modernizes the cut and looks striking on dark hair. Use a low to medium-shine paste for added texture if your hair is fine. Otherwise, try a high-shine pomade to pull off the classic slick back.

#4: Short Comb Over with Skin Fade Military Cut

Men who desire a military cut haircut should try a short comb over with a skin fade. This low fade comb-over looks best on oval face shapes but can be easily modified to suit any face. Short comb over fades can be universally flattering with a few small adjustments. Be sure to ask your barber to remember this during your haircut.

#5: Low Fade Messy Comb Over

A low fade messy comb-over is a classic cut that works for most lifestyles and hair types and offers easy upkeep. You can create a combover fade by using shears. You can also use the clippers to the skin you want. What’s fun about this taper comb over is that the top can be styled with volume by blowing dry with a brush or styled smooth and slick with glossy gel or pomade.

#6: Low Fade Comb Over for Asian Men

A low fade comb over for Asian men creates an alluring touch to the strong hair most Asian men have. The fade is low and faded, leaving a heavy wedge and weight line. This cut creates enough weight for the hair on top to stay in place. A quick blow-dry will help keep the shape, and a strong pomade will hold it all day.

#7: Slick Comb Over + Low Bald Fade

A slick comb over + low bald fade is a great way to showcase dark, thick hair. The hair is skinned out around the edges, fading into a low heavyweight line, leaving hair to create the shape. The top is left longer, leaving a good amount of length to get the slick comb-over. A glossy pomade or a good styling paste will finish off the style and keep it all in place.

#8: Low Fade Long Textured Comb Over

A low fade textured comb over suits men with medium hair density. The fade is taken to the skin around the ears, leaving enough length to transition it into a comb-over. More length is left on top to create the volume and texture needed for this style. A volume spray will give you a lift, and a styling powder will create added texture and long hold.

#9: Comb Over Fade with Shaved Line for Long Hair

Going for a low fade with a comb over may seem risky. So why not go for the other extreme with a comb over fade and long hair swept to the other side?

#21: Long Comb Over Bald Fade

This long comb over fade is a side-parted hairstyle with a dipped outline to strengthen the shape. Berlin-based barber David Marchant is the one who created this lowfade look for this gent.

“We took the side part pretty tight and square to the head, so the weight sits close to the head using the shape of the guy’s head to determine length and size. Leaving the corner square prevents the parting from jumping or sticking out,” Marchant explains.

#24: Low Fade Comb Over for Curly Hair

The best thing about this haircut is the gradient of the fade on the sides and how it complements the man’s head shape nicely. This haircut is a great, low-maintenance style for thick curly hair that needs trimming every 1-2 weeks.

This comb over with skin fade haircut also includes a hard part where a thin line is cut into the natural parting of the hair giving the part a definite, sharp look. Beware that this also needs more upkeep since the part does grow out.

#25: Mid-Low Fade and Comb Over Haircut

There are so many types of fades, but the true fade is the graduation of a lower fade paired with a comb-over. Consider the height of the fade. I always recommend a nice shade with graduation that’s very clean. A mid fade comb over is also an ideal choice.

A low fade comb over combines two classic haircuts for men, featuring a fade that begins lower near the ears and a top hair combed or deeply parted to one side. With this fade’s smart finish, any combover hairstyle would have distinct freshness and individuality.

Barber Nataly Medina of Texas shapes up a few slick classics that demonstrate the versatility of comb-overs, markedly enhanced by a clean fade. With enough length on top, you can easily switch things up by styling them in various ways.

Skilled hands are required to own this look, so go to the best local barber. This nicely groomed style needs products for styling. Your barber-recommended pomade, wax, or gel would surely do the trick, plus a handy comb.
