Find clean haircut ideas, learn exactly what to ask your barber, and explore modern taper fade styles for every hair type.
A taper fade cuts the hair shortest at the temples and neckline and leaves length on top. The height is the main choice: a low taper fade blends just above the ear and neckline, a mid taper starts at the temple, and a high taper fade takes the short part up toward the crown. Pick a guide below to see the cut, who it suits, and what to tell your barber.
