Taper Fade

Basically a fade is a really short taper.

Taper fade. A taper fade has a longer graduated look with a clean fade around the bottom of your hairline around your neck. Classic tapered looks tend to have longer buzzed hair around the ears and down to the back. The best way to explain how it works is to look at each of these two elements individually.

The taper and the fade. The taper fade is the closest haircut you can receive to a fade without cutting most of your hair off. It is essentially longer than a fade as it leaves more hair on the sides creating a less radical and more sophisticated look.

A taper fade can go a long way to make what is considered a boring look into a trendy haircut. In this example the trim is short and neat on the top and the taper starts out on the sides towards the edge of the hairline ending close to the hairline in a bald skin fade. A fade is a taper that gradually takes the hair down to the skin so that it looks like the hairline on the sides and back of your head fades away before it reaches the natural hairline.
