It’s a fresh haircut with a skin fade and an easy men’s hairstyle with a fingers effect. It’s a mix of old and new school as described by barber Juan Manuel Ortiz Abad of Spain.

Abad states, “I used matte ointment and volume powders, then styled the pompadour using my fingers. It’s great for straight hair, and the best face shape is square.”

Hard Part with Comb Over and Bald Fade

@barbeariaalves

This bald fade cut has a razor side part where the sides are well scraped. Stylist Jefferson Alves from Bombinhas, BR is the one created this look.

“I started with the machine “0” and I went up gradually to detail well into the hair division.  I made a tuft with a streak in the division, and it is well striped and stylish,” Alves narrates.

For this skin fade with a hard part and comb over, Alves advises to have smoother and slightly larger hair that can be shaped to the side. It’s also necessary to use ointment and hair fixative to keep the hairstyle longer.

“The streak on the side helps break the hair. Put hair ointment and simply pull the tuft back. I advise you to dry your hair with a blow dryer to give a more striped effect,” Alves adds.

High Top Fade with Defined Hairline for Black Men with Afro

@jj.blendz

This is a haircut called the high top with a mid-skin fade. Barber Justin Johnston of California put a new spin on it by giving the hair a mid fade instead of a high fade.

“My favorite thing about this skin faded afro is the contrast. This fade comes out nice and smooth and matches well with his black skin color to make it somewhat blurry. Lining up the hairline is key to make the haircut pop more than it would with just a clean fade. A fresh line up completes the cut,” Johnston explains.

If you want the curls on top and your hair is coarse, Johnston recommends that you purchase a curl sponge. You’ll need the curl sponge with a medium to strong hold hairspray to lock in the curls.

“Men with curly hair can achieve skin fades. Grow your hair out, if it’s not already long enough,” Johnston mentions.
