Tapered Fade
This contemporary hairstyle features a tapered fade on the sides and back, gradually blending from short to longer hair at the top. The textured, slightly spiked styling on top creates a stylish, modern look that works well for both casual and slightly dressier occasions.
To style this tapered fade, start by applying a small amount of styling product, such as a light hold pomade or wax, to damp hair. Use your fingers to gently lift and style the hair on top, creating a slightly spiked, textured look. For the sides, use clippers or trimmers to gradually fade the hair from short to longer as you move up toward the top. Finish by lightly running your fingers through the hair to separate the strands and enhance the natural texture.
