Modern and Sexy Cuts for Men
Would you adopt a fade burst?
The burst fade is a popular hairstyle for men that involves gradual tapering of the hair, usually starting with longer hair at the top and gradually tapering to very short, even bald, sides and back.
This style is characterized by a harmonious blend between long and short hair, creating a smooth transition.
To achieve this modern cut, there are several key elements you need to consider:
· Top length
The burst fade is usually characterized by longer hair on top of the head.
This length varies depending on personal preference, but is often styled in a pompadour, bun, or textured cut.
· Molten
The fade is a gradual transition from longer hair on top to shorter hair on the sides and back of the head.
Unlike a traditional fade where the transition is usually linear, the burst fade creates a rounded or burst effect around the ears and neckline.
· Blend
Achieving a harmonious blend between different hair lengths is essential to achieve a well-executed burst fade.
This is typically achieved by using different lengths of clipper guards and blending techniques to create a smooth transition between the longer hair on top and the shorter hair on the sides and back.
· Shape
The burst fade shape is characterized by a rounded or curved outline around the ears and nape of the neck, creating the bursting effect that gives this style its name.
This curved shape adds visual interest and dimension to the hairstyle.
Like most fades, the burst fade requires regular maintenance to keep it looking clean.
This may involve a visit to the hairdresser every two weeks to maintain the sides and back and maintain the shape and gradient of the fade.
Styling longer hair on top is a staple of the burst fade hairstyle.
Depending on the desired look, you can use pomade, wax, or styling cream to add texture, volume, and hold to your hair.
By experimenting with different styling techniques, you can customize your hairstyle to suit your personal style.
