What is mid fade with long hair on top?

Here's some information about the mid fade with long hair on top:

The Mid Fade with long hair on top is a versatile and stylish haircut that balances a clean, modern look with the flexibility of longer hair.

• Definition: A mid fade refers to the gradual tapering of hair on the sides and back of the head, starting midway between the temples and the ears. The hair transitions from longer at the top to very short or skin-level at the fade line.

• Long Hair on Top: The length on top can vary greatly, from a few inches to shoulder-length or even longer. The key is to maintain a contrast between the faded sides and the fuller top.

• Styling Options: The long hair on top offers numerous styling possibilities:

  • Slicked Back: Use pomade or gel to create a sleek, sophisticated look.
  • Textured: Apply sea salt spray or mousse for a messy, effortless vibe.
  • Quiff: Volumize the front section with a blow dryer and styling product.
  • Man Bun/Ponytail: For longer lengths, tie it up for a casual, practical style.
  • Natural Flow: Allow the hair to fall naturally for a relaxed appearance.

• Maintenance: Regular trims are necessary to maintain the fade and desired length. Styling products are generally needed to achieve the desired look.

• Face Shapes: This haircut is flattering for many face shapes, but it's especially suitable for those with round or square faces as it adds height and length. Consider consulting with a Barber to tailor the fade to your specific face shape and hair type.

• Variations:

  • Taper Fade: A more gradual and subtle fade.
  • Skin Fade: The fade goes down to the skin.

This haircut offers a balance of professionalism and personality. It is a popular choice for men who want a contemporary and adaptable hairstyle. It is important to consider your hair type and lifestyle when deciding if this style is right for you.
