A taper fade has a longer graduated look with a clean fade around the bottom of your hairline around your neck. In this example the trim is short and neat on the top and the taper starts out on the sides towards the edge of the hairline ending close to the hairline in a bald skin fade. A taper fade usually starts out with hair that is about at eyebrow length or longer and leaves the individual with most of their hair when finished.

Like a taper with a fade your hair is at its longest toward the top of your head and gets progressively shorter toward the bottom. Classic tapered looks tend to have longer buzzed hair around the ears and down to the back. That being said Taper Fade Barbershop was started.

In contrast to a low fade the taper fade happens much lower down on your neck. But fades go really short often revealing the skin on the side of your head. It is essentially longer than a fade as it leaves more hair on the sides creating a less radical and more sophisticated look.

Basically a fade is a really short taper. The taper and the fade. The best way to explain how it works is to look at each of these two elements individually.
