Description

An undercut with a skin fade is a modern and striking men's hairstyle that combines a longer, textured top section of hair with sharply disconnected, shaved sides and back of the head (skin fade). The top hair is left longer, often styled with texture or slicked back, which gives the hairstyle dynamism and the possibility of various styling options. The fade starts high above the ears and is very sharp, creating a strong contrast between the long hair on top and the closely cropped sides and nape. A characteristic feature of this haircut is a clearly visible line separating the upper and lower sections of the hair. The contours around the forehead and temples are precisely lined up, ensuring the hairstyle always looks well-groomed, fresh, and modern.

Who is it for?

Ideal for confident men of all ages, including mature grey-haired gentlemen, who love a rugged street style. Perfect for thick hair, its forward-swept fringe naturally masks a receding hairline or high forehead. Styling takes seconds with a bit of powder or clay.
