What is a Skin Fade?

A skin fade is a popular haircut style characterised by its smooth transition from longer hair on top to completely shaved or bare skin at the sides and back. Known for its versatility and sharp appearance, the skin fade has become a go-to haircut for men who desire a sleek and contemporary look.

This style works well with various hair types and lengths, allowing for personalisation to suit individual preferences. Whether paired with a textured quiff, curly top, or pompadour, the skin fade provides a clean base that enhances any hairstyle.

types of skin fades

High Skin Fade

The high skin fade starts near the crown of the head and creates a bold, dramatic contrast between the shaved sides and the longer hair on top. This fade is ideal for those who enjoy a sharp, edgy look and aren’t afraid to make a statement.

  • Best for: Thick or straight hair types that can hold volume on top.
  • Styling Tip: Pair a high skin fade with a pompadour or spiky top for a striking appearance.

Mid Skin Fade

The mid skin fade is a versatile option that begins at the middle of the head, striking a balance between the boldness of a high fade and the subtlety of a low fade. This style offers a polished look without being overly dramatic.

  • Ideal for: Professionals who want a clean yet stylish haircut.
  • Styling Tip: Combine with a textured crop or slicked-back style to add sophistication.

Low Skin Fade

The low skin fade begins just above the ears and follows the natural hairline, creating a subtle and understated transition. It’s perfect for men seeking a polished, conservative look that still feels modern.

  • Best suited for: All hair types, especially wavy or curly textures.
  • Styling Tip: Pair with a classic comb-over or short curly top for a timeless finish.
