An undercut fade is a unique and fashionable haircut primarily used by men. By using the undercut fade, hair on the top remains medium to long while the sides and back are shaved to one length. Coloring is then faded seamlessly from the top to the temples. This haircut and style is currently trending in a variety of different salons.
The undercut fade is designed for multiple different types of facial structures. For oval-shaped faces, a high cut with an angular finish will help elongate the face. With a slightly more boxy look on top, there is no need to worry about creating a round-shaped face. For those who do have round faces, undercut fades can provide an angular shape by allowing for an accentuated side part. An undercut fade is known for its ability to successfully shape facial structure.
This hairstyle is worn by many celebrities. Its new sense of style can be seen on Brad Pitt, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake. It combines both classic lines and color with a mix of new design. Although the undercut has been around since the turn of the 20th century, combining it with the fade has created both a classic and edgy look.
For men with thinning hair, both the fade and cut can make hair appear thicker. Since the skin fade on the sides helps the longer hair on top stand out, an undercut fade draws the eye toward the center. This helps the length of the hair on top look fuller because of both its height and color.
