Fades are similar to tapered cuts, and like tapers, they look great with curly or straight hair. Hairstylists identify two different types of fades: high or short. High fades are more dramatic, fading about two inches from the top. Low fades offer a gradual fading on the sides and back of the head. For those seeking a more drastic impact, try a faux hawk fade. The cut features close-cropped hair on the sides and back of the head. Style the longer hair on the crown upward into a classic mohawk. This style effectively covers gray on the top of the head and makes hairline gray less noticeable.
