Taper Fade + Mullet

Description

This style is defined by the contrast between short sides and longer hair at the back of the head. The taper fade involves gradually shortening the hair around the ears, smoothly blending into the desired length on the sides. The mullet, on the other hand, maintains longer hair at the back, which can reach the shoulders or even lower. The combination of these two techniques creates a bold, standout look that merges modern precision with a rebellious edge. Hair on the top is usually left longer to contrast with the faded sides and to allow for a variety of styling options.

Who is it for?

This style is especially suited for individuals seeking a non-traditional, more expressive look. It works best on straight to slightly wavy hair, where the contrast between short and long sections stands out most. It’s particularly popular among younger people looking to showcase their individuality, but in modern adaptations, it’s also chosen by individuals of various age groups. It’s perfect for those who want to combine a clean, professional appearance (thanks to the well-groomed fade on the sides) with a more relaxed, free-spirited vibe (thanks to the longer hair at the back). It flatters both square and oval face shapes, as the short sides highlight facial features.
