The comb over may be a classic look, but by adding a fade into the mix, you can take the cut into contemporary territory. A low fade<\/a> grants you a more conservative, traditional option. By beginning the taper at or below the ears, you allow for a more subtle transition into the length on top. It\u2019s a natural look for a bearded gentleman or someone looking for a style that is at once on-trend and timeless.<\/p>\n Beginning the fade higher than the more conservative low fade<\/a>, but still allowing room to taper into length. The medium fade comb over says \u201cI\u2019m a risk-taker, but I\u2019ll still get my tax return done in time\u201d. The buzzed hair begins its fade above the ears resulting in a style that, though bold, works with your length on top. The medium fade suits well-styled, straight hair.<\/p>\n Typically for the more free-spirited comb over-wearer, a high fade draws attention to and celebrates the shift in length. With less room for tapering, the high fade<\/a> transitions quickly from short sides to the longer top. The cut draws eyes to your brow line while sending a message that you don\u2019t mind taking risks. The high fade is a sure bet for those with shorter hair, although some can rock it with longer locks.<\/p>\n Born to be worn with a suit, the short comb over is a take on this style. For those with hard to manage hair or those who simply want to portray a more polished aesthetic. The short comb over is a safe option that looks good on most heads. The cut works best without facial hair at an awards ceremony.<\/p>\n For those men who want to keep both the length on the sides and top, the long comb over is for you. Forget about buzzing the sides; this cut is all about maintaining length while styling your hair into a loose comb over. You can blow dry it to add some volume on top or control it with some strong hold pomade. The longer hair allows versatility and means that you\u2019re not married to a comb over.<\/p>\n If a high fade<\/a> is for the free spirits, a skin fade<\/a> comb over is for the rebels out there. The skin fade tapers from the length on top down to your bald skin, yep, hence the name. It\u2019s a super neat and bold style that cites military cuts<\/a> for its inspiration. Incorporate some length and keep the top tidy for the best results.<\/p>\n The modern comb over takes the part line from just a piece of the style and places it front row center. This modern interpretation of the comb oversees a hard feature line accentuating where your hair parts. The feature adding a sense of asymmetry while drawing the eyes along your hairline to see what else is going on up there.<\/p>\n Wanting to bring some volume into an otherwise fairly flat equation? The pompadour<\/a> is an interesting way to add another level to your comb over. The possibilities for working with a modern pompadour are only bound by your natural hair type and your imagination. Use a little loose-hold pomade and blow-dry in plenty of volume for a bigger, sweeping look. Or opt for a stronger holding pomade for a neater pompadour.<\/p>\n Curly-haired brethren needn\u2019t feel that they have to miss out on all the combing over fun. Curly hair<\/a> lends itself surprisingly well to the comb over style. Sweeping long curls over buzzed sides celebrate the gift that is curly hair. Use your naturally unruly locks to your advantage by making them the center of attention. After all, do they not say \u2018curls get the girls\u2019?<\/p>\n Another style popularised in decades past and enjoying something of a renaissance. The slick back<\/a> comb over can incorporate a subtle, shorter length with graduated sides. For a statement style, let there be length up top with a high fade<\/a> on the sides. For amazing results, pair with a beard<\/a> or tattoos<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you like the idea of a comb over, but prefer a look with a little more edge, you should consider opting for the combination of a beard and comb over. This partnership creates a seriously stylish and modern look that can suit almost any gent. While the comb over provides a polished and gentlemanly appearance, the beard adds a rugged and masculine touch. To rock the look in the office, just opt for a short beard that is well-groomed.<\/p>\n Although a comb over is a classical style, it needn\u2019t be boring. By adding an undercut<\/a> to your comb over hairstyle, you can make your look much more exciting and fashionable. As such, an undercut comb over is ideal for those who enjoy a bold and on-trend appearance. The look, which features a striking contrast between its long top and short sides, also appears sophisticated thanks to its smart styling.<\/p>\n A comb over with line provides an exciting and modern twist to this traditional hairstyle. The cut, which features a shaved line along the hair\u2019s side part, appears smart from a distance and seriously sharp up close. Also known as a hard part comb over, this style adds definition to your look and tends to appear best when paired with short faded sides and plenty of volume up top. To achieve the look, just be sure to visit an experienced barber.<\/p>\n Not all comb over hairstyles must be smooth and sleek. For a more youthful interpretation of this classic hairstyle<\/a>, you can try a spiky<\/a> comb over. The added texture from this look will provide your style with a contemporary and fashionable appearance. To create the look, wash and towel dry your hair before using a comb to define your side part. Then, blow-dry your roots upwards to increase volume while maintaining your part. Next, use your hands and styling product to spike your strands straight up. Finally, gently tug or comb your spiked locks away from your part to achieve a windswept comb over style.<\/p>\n The comb over has long\u00a0been known as a favourite hairstyle amongst brokers and salesman. But since the likes of Hamm, Timberlake and Clooney began wearing it, the comb over has been revived and reinvented for a modern aesthetic. It\u2019s a versatile and contemporary hairstyle that frames almost any face.
