Low fade haircuts are probably the most popular sort of fade, as they appear perfect for both thin and thick hair. If you have a straight hair texture that requires more volume and dimension, cut your hair in layers and add highlights to create this gorgeous layered haircut.

On top, this haircut looks classy, but the undercut brings here some boldness. Contrast this cut with blonde highlights to give your look more playful vibes. You can easily make your hair more or less spiky with some hair wax. It’s a great way to add texture to your cut!

This back-swept long pixie with shaved sides and a low fade will flawlessly frame a heart or oval face shape. To create this perfect look, ensure you’re using quality hair wax to style your pixie cut; otherwise, it won’t keep your hair in place all day.

Another easy-to-style but gorgeous high fade haircut. Ask your hair stylist to shorten your hair on the side and leave some length at the top. Add side bangs or dye your short hair any vivid color to make this cut even more stylish.

Ladies with wavy textures may also do trendy fade haircuts and create their own short wavy hairstyle to grab everyone’s attention. For example, to achieve this edgy look, you need to follow a few simple steps: blow dry your wavy hair and style it with a mousse or other appropriate hair product.

Kinky hair type can be prone to damage and sometimes requires extra maintenance. A high fade mohawk with an undercut design will be a good option for this hair type. An undercut gives a great edgy look to short natural hair and helps to stand out.
@dreamcutsbarberlounge
Spice up your natural hair color with highlights and cut the bangs to add feminine vibes to this bold boyish look. This low fade cut will undoubtedly make you the object of admiration.
@jackmead_stylist
Want to go from punk to feminine? You can easily do that with a faux hawk hairstyle! Even though it looks difficult to style, you can achieve the same sassy and stylish punk look if you show this photo to your hairstylist.
@victorinostylo
The bowl cut is an excellent example of a trendy haircut for women that looks very feminine despite being really short. High fades with shaved sides always seem bold and sassy, but you can make your short style cuter and softer by dyeing your hair in a platinum blonde color.
@lynngourley_
Tapered natural hairstyles are not only for big chop scenarios. Once you realize how it opens up your face and aces your wash-and-go, you will probably never want to get back to longer tresses. What’s more, the short mane makes it so much easier to experiment with hair color. Just style your hair with a regular hair product, and you are ready to go!
@krewkutz
If you want to keep your hair long but have a catchy accent to the hairstyle, choose this beautiful undercut with a hair tattoo design of your choice. Thus, keep it discreet at work and draw everyone’s attention by pulling hair up into a high pony or a bun.
@hrkymgs
A fade haircut gives your hair a cool, polished look on its own, but it can be even more fascinating when paired with a color highlight – blue, for example. This style looks quite unique and suits women of all ages – those not afraid of experiments.
