Upward fringe + mid fade

A fringe styled upward combined with a gradual transition (fade) on the sides is currently one of the trendiest hairstyles of recent years. The mid fade is a technique where the hair length smoothly shortens from the middle of the head downward, meaning the shortest lengths on the sides are around the ears. Unlike a high fade, a mid fade offers many more possible variants and combinations for choosing the lengths on the top section of the head. The top section with the fringe is significantly longer, providing room for styling – the hair is usually styled to point upward, often with a slight tilt backward, giving the haircut a dynamic and modern character. To achieve this effect, styling products such as matte paste, wax, or clay are commonly used, as they provide sufficient hold while maintaining a natural look.
