How Does a Low Taper Fade Compare to a Mid or High Fade?
|
|
The low taper fade kicks off around your ears and blends up smoothly. Mid fades sit a touch higher around the temples, while high fades jump above them for maximum contrast
Fade height changes everything
👉 Low taper fades keep a bit more up top for that easy, polished look — great for first-timers or workdays.
👉 Mid fades find the sweet spot between edge and ease.
👉 High fades? All confidence — tight sides, bold contrast, big attitude.
Face shape matters too. Low fades work on virtually anyone, especially round faces needing length. Mid fades suit oval and square jawlines.
High fades shine on strong features and confident energy
Maintenance
Low fades age gracefully for a month or so; high fades demand a barber’s touch every couple of weeks to stay sharp. Want that fresh-cut look to last?
