Nowadays, many men are going for the side fade. This is essentially a fade that goes from being long on the top to a number 1 or 0 towards the bottom. It takes a great deal of skill, and only some of the best barbers can offer a fade that’s subtle without any lines or streaks whatsoever.

The only problem with the fade is that it can look a lot worse when the hair does begin to grow out, and if you’re the type of individual who visits the barbers once a month, then it’s probably best to stick with one length on the back and sides rather than multiple lengths which are required for a fade.

It’s certainly a popular look right now, and whether you’re clean shaved or have a beard of 3 inches or more, the fade can look great. If you want this look, it’s always best to visit a traditional barbers.
