Fringe Haircut Guides: Tapers, Burst Fades and Drop Fades

The fringe is the front section of the haircut. Its length, texture and direction decide how it falls over the forehead; the taper or fade controls the outline at the sides and back. Choose those details together when you explain the cut to your barber.

These guides focus on fringe combinations with different tapers and fade shapes. Compare the same forward-styled idea across low, mid and high tapers, or look at burst and drop options when you want a different outline around the ear.
