Low Bald Fade with Pompadour

@monsieur.joel.barbier

The short pompadour with low bald fade haircut is timeless and diverse that can accomplish multiple looks.

This bald fade with pompadour was an iconic cut in the early rap and hip-hop scene and to this day has been a staple cut in the African-American community.

According to barber Joel Belcourt of Canada, the best aspect of a fade that’s bald is its diversity. “Whether you’re the CEO of a large company or the next Dr. Dre, this cut looks clean, sleek, mature, and complex all while keeping it stylish, modern, and edgy,” Belcourt explains.

All that being said, bald fades are not necessarily for everyone. Before Belcourt suggests the cut to anyone, there must be factors to consider first.

For instance, for men with a rounder face and head, Belcourt would suggest getting a low bald fade with length on top due to the transition ending in a longer length. This creates a square look transitioning from the ear to the parietal ridge, ultimately creating a straight vertical line rather than taking the shape of the head. Belcourt found that a longer pompadour and a straight blade “hard part” look very sharp.

Naturally, a high fade would do the exact opposite. Belcourt explains, “if the top is buzzed, the haircut rounds the head. The high fade is a more aggressive look due to the amount of skin exposed. Such a fade with a part slicked to the side with a pompadour can give a classic look.”

Medium Bald Fade with Part

@jerm_barber

This is a medium bald fade with part, created by barber Jeremy Moya of Romeoville, IL.

“I went off the natural texture of his hair starting the bald blend low and gradually fading into a #2 or 1/4 inch into the side with the part. I did a shear work on top (point cutting technique), then finished it off with straight razor work on the line-up, hard part, and neckline,” explains Moya.

Considering it’s such a tight fade, it must also be kept looking fresh. Moya recommends getting it cut every two weeks to maintain the best results.

Also, the rounder the head shape or thicker the hair texture, you can take the fade to blend a little higher on the sides. On the other hand, the slimmer the head shape or thinner the hair texture, you should leave the fade lower and slightly over the ears (the bald part).

Bald Fade Faux Hawk

@uzicuts

The bald fade faux hawk shows the perfect blend of skin to hair transition. The smooth skin is faded into limitless possibilities for the top of the head.

According to barber Uzi Qidwai of Canada, “the greatest thing about the skin fade haircut is that it can be paired with any type of style on the top, including a combover, buzzcut, textured crop, and spikes to name a few.”

This style requires consistent maintenance on an average of two weeks to keep the hair looking crispy and fresh. Qidwai explains, “be prepared to see your barber often. Find one that you can have a long-term relationship with. Usually fades require frequent cuts to maintain the proper length.”

Bald Fade Buzz Cut

@gillythebarber

This bald fade haircut with a buzz cut is urban but classic. The coolest thing about a very short fade is the transition from short to long, says barber Miguel Lora of Florida.

“The first thing I would look for is to see if they have any scars or lesions on their scalp. This cut is perfect for a guy who is thinning on top. It brings out the hair and makes it looks less thin on top. I think fades are great styles for most guys,” Lora states.
