Style Overview

The low burst fade is one of the most popular and versatile fade styles. It begins just above the ears and creates a smooth, gradual transition from longer hair on top to shorter hair on the sides and back. This style works well with most hair types and face shapes.

Styling Process

To achieve a low burst fade, your barber will start the fade just above the ear line and blend it down to the skin or a very short length. The "burst" refers to the curved line that follows the natural hairline around the ear.

Maintenance

Low burst fades typically need touch-ups every 2-3 weeks to maintain the clean lines and prevent the fade from growing out.
