What Is The Burst Fade Haircut?

In this haircut, barbers cut your hair to create a circle-shaped fade around the ear. The fade cut doesn’t go on toward the back of the head as with other types of fade. The burst fade may sometimes confuse with a drop fade. But, when it comes to the burst fade the hair at the back is typically left long. As a result, the fade effect looks like an arch.

How To Get A Burst Fade Haircut?

A few hair-cutting techniques are used together for the burst fade. Firstly, barbers create the first guideline with a trimmer (t-outliner) just above the ear. Then, they shave completely the hair below the first guideline. Thus, it is created a circle around the ear. After this step, they create other guidelines and taper the hair gradually with a hair clipper towards the top. Different hair clipper guards create different hair lengths and blend hair on the sides. ​In this way, an arc-shaped fade effect occurs above the ear. As we mentioned before, the hair on the back is left long.
