Top 5 Fade Styles for 2026
The fade haircut continues to dominate men's grooming in 2026, but this year brings fresh variations that our barbers at him. are seeing more than ever. Whether you're looking for something subtle or bold, there's a fade style perfect for you.
1. The Low Taper Fade
Perfect for professional settings, the low taper fade offers a clean, gradual transition that starts just above the ear. It's versatile enough to pair with almost any length on top, from a classic side part to textured crops.
2. Mid Skin Fade
The mid skin fade has become our most requested style at him. Barbers. Starting at the temple line, this fade creates a striking contrast that works beautifully with longer, styled hair on top.
3. High Burst Fade
For those wanting something more dramatic, the burst fade curves around the ear in a sun-burst pattern. It's particularly popular paired with curly or wavy hair textures.
4. Drop Fade
The drop fade "drops" lower behind the ear, following your natural hairline. This style adds dimension and works exceptionally well with beard fades for a cohesive look.
5. Textured French Crop with Fade
Combining the trendy French crop with a fade creates a modern, low-maintenance style that's been flying out of our chairs. The textured top adds movement while the fade keeps the sides clean.
