- The Temple Fade + Short Crop
The unique characteristic of this haircut is a defined crop facing forward with some minor edge added. When getting the haircut, it is important to let the barber know that you are looking for a temple fade and not the traditional top fade haircut because the two are confusing.
This hairstyle consists of some harsh undercut where the temple fade, which some men may not like. To avoid this situation, you should let the barber know the lengths of hair you want to be left at the top and on the sides.

- Temple Fade + Pompadour
Pompadour is a cool hairstyle that was mostly used as an ideal throwback hairstyle. However, adding a faded haircut to your pompadour hairstyle makes it look more classic and modern.
The fade looks better, especially if your pompadour features long hair. To create the style, the hair on the sides is cut using scissors to a minimum of one-inch length. You can fade the sides to where your beard ends or finish it where the sideburns are supposed to begin on your face.
It is important to let the barber know the minimum length you want the fade haircut to reach to avoid frustrations at the end of your appointment.
The pompadour hairstyle takes a relatively long time to style with or without the fade. You must ensure that the hair falls neatly at the top for a perfect finish.
When this style is well maintained, it is an everyday rock and center of attention, especially for middle-aged men.
- Fade + Short Afro
A short afro blended with a fade haircut is a good alternative if you don’t want the defined blowout style.
It is the best choice for a haircut if your cheeks are too chubby for a full afro and you want to create an illusion of slim sides.
In this hairstyle, the fade is defined within a small area between the top of the ear and your hairline area. The afro in this hairline is usually short and not long from the scalp to define the uniqueness of the style.
When going to the barber for this haircut, it is usually wise to go with an image for illustration, especially if you are not good at explaining.
You should note that if you choose a short fade for this hairstyle, you must be ready to visit the barber often for fresh and sharper looks.

- Fade + slick back
This style is smart generally, and it is the best choice if you want to always put back your hair with little effort. The fade haircut in this combination should be featured somewhere at the front of the ear and carefully blended with the hair at the top and the sides.
It is normal to have some extra length of hair from the fringe hanging on the fade from time to time. You can have the extra length perfectly blended towards the back.
It is wise to leave enough length at the top to decrease the length as you move to the back. If you find explaining this hairstyle to your barber, having an image for illustrations is always convenient.
