Halfway between a high fade and a low fade, it\u2019s a tapered cut that ends between your temple and ears. Not only is it flattering, professional and easy to maintain, it\u2019s also versatile. That means you can style it in many different ways. For example, old school gel or side-parted looks get a fresh, modern twist when paired with a mid fade. Meanwhile, a mid fade paired with a slick back or natural curls looks polished and sophisticated. Check out these versions of the mid fade that will make you want to book a trip to the barber right now.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Mid Fade with Slick Back<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no wonder you\u2019ll see the mid fade with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/8-mens-slicked-back-hairstyles-to-rock-for-any-occasion\/\" class=\"broken_link\">slick back<\/a> hairstyle everywhere. It\u2019s an incredibly flattering cut because it subtly frames your features while making your face look longer and more balanced. Plus, women consider the slick back to be one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/sexy-hairstyles-for-men\/\">sexiest haircuts for men<\/a>. Even better, it\u2019s easy to style too as the structure is built into the cut itself. All you need is some clay or pomade, and you can create a look that\u2019s perfect for work, a night out or when you need to impress.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Mid Fade with Natural Waves<\/h2>\n<p>Make the most of your hair\u2019s naturally wavy texture by combining it with a mid fade. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/curly-wavy-hairstyles\/\">Wavy hair<\/a>\u00a0is often thicker and harder to manage than straight hair, so a mid fade is a great choice. That\u2019s because it will give your locks some structure while keeping your face as the focus. Plus, your curls will be under control \u2013 all you need is some defining spray, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Mid Fade with Faux Hawk<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to try out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/faux-hawk-haircuts\/\">faux hawk<\/a> in a subtle way \u2013 or work your way up to the real thing \u2013 try teaming it with a mid fade. The difference between this style and a classic faux hawk is in the disconnection. A mid fade tapers the faux hawk into a gradient, allowing you to get the same punk effect but with a more casual feel. Add a razor parting to give it extra attitude.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Mid Fade with Hard Part<\/h2>\n<p>Those looking for a unique cut could try the mid fade with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/hard-part-haircut\/\">hard part<\/a>. Inspired by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/1920s-mens-fashion-how-to-perfect-the-twenties-style\/\">1920s<\/a>, the style combines a sharp, wide, razored parting with an equally sharp fade. To make the most of the contrast between skin and hair, it looks best on guys with dark hair and fair skin. And because it\u2019s such an attention-grabbing style, you\u2019ll need to make sure you use pomade to keep every hair in place. Plus, regular visits to the barber are necessary to ensure the cut remains super clean and defined.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Mid Fade with Mohawk<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/mohawk-hairstyles-for-men\/\">mohawk <\/a> is a classic men\u2019s hairstyle for a reason. It has an attitude, intensity and a rock\u2019n\u2019roll vibe like no other. Put a new twist on the style by pairing it with a mid fade. The look works particularly well if you want to combine your mohawk with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/guide-to-rocking-different-mens-beard-styles\/\">beard<\/a>, as it will connect the two in a cool way. A mid fade will also give your mohawk a stylish feel.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Mid Fade with Fringe<\/h2>\n<p>For a modern take on the \u201960s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/50-ways-rock-bowl-haircut\/\">bowl cut<\/a>, try a mid fade with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/fringe-haircuts-for-men\/\">fringe<\/a>. Instead of a soft gradient, this look involves keeping the hair longer on top \u2013 but still finishing at the same place as a classic mid fade. When it comes to styling a fringe, sweeping it to the front is very flattering. It creates an asymmetric effect that balances features and makes your face look more square.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Mid Fade with Line Up<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to make a bold statement with your hair, a mid fade with line up will make sure all eyes are on you. Your barber can get creative with this look, shaving in different shapes and lines to create the final effect. However, pairing a line up with a mid fade means the cut has more structure and will look even more striking from the side than it does from the front.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Mid Fade with Blowout<\/h2>\n<p>The cool contrast of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/best-mens-blowout-haircuts\/\">blowout<\/a> and a mid fade will earn you some attention. It\u2019s all about height and volume at the crown of your head, paired with super smooth faded sides. For those reasons, it suits men with more angular features. To get the structural look of this hairstyle, leave your hair fairly long on top then use a product to hold it in place.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Mid Fade with Short Curls<\/h2>\n<p>A mid fade is a great way to show off short curls. As the rest of your hair is already short, the mid fade will blend perfectly with your natural waves. Because the mid fade means there\u2019s very little hair on the side of your head, all eyes will be on your curls. Plus, as there\u2019s less hair overall, it\u2019s a very manageable curly style.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Mid Fade with Quiff<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/quiff-hairstyles-for-men\/\">quiff<\/a> hairstyle looks great on all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/find-the-perfect-hairstyle-haircut-for-your-face-shape\/\">face shapes<\/a> but is particularly flattering if you have a round face. That\u2019s because it draws the eye up, making your face seem longer. Meanwhile, the mid fade has the same effect \u2013 with the bonus of making your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/thinning-hair-men\/\">hair look thicker<\/a>. A quiff with a mid fade is a popular style for footballers, who often combine it with streaks or highlights. So if you want that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creationiv.com\/blog\/soccer-player-haircuts\/\">soccer star look<\/a>, give this style a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mid fade is the perfect all-rounder haircut.
