Different types of Taper Fade Haircuts to Try and Show your Barber
- taper fades are a great understated & low key look to add that freshness to your look
- it's a great choice of haircut if you're looking to grow longer lengths on top and as well to rock the shorter cuts
Here's some visuals to work with and show your barber
Should you go for a low, mid or high taper?
It'll depend on the look you're going for. Generally the lower the taper, the more subtle it is.
The higher you go - more fresh it is and definitely stands out more.
It'll also depend on how long you want to maintain that fresh look between cuts - higher tapers usually last longer because you're cutting more hair.

Consider
- Always consider your face shape - if you have a rounder head shape, going higher in your fades generally makes your face appear more round and vice versa
- Always consider what your hair is doing on top - are you growing it out? Are you cutting it short like a buzz cut? Think about this when choosing which taper you go for
- When in doubt - always ask your barber.
