Burst Fade
A fade that curves around the ear and leaves the back long.
- Cut again
- 2 to 3 weeks
- Upkeep
- High upkeep
- Length
- Medium
The fade radiates in a semicircle around the ear rather than running straight up the side, and the hair at the back of the head is left longer. It is most often paired with texture or length through the middle.
Who it suits
- Curly and wavy hair, where the shape works with the texture
- Anyone who wants something less common than a straight fade
- Pairing with a mohawk shape or length left down the back
Styling it
- Bring a photo. The placement of the burst varies a lot between barbers.
- Works best when the top has enough length to contrast against the curve.
As it grows out
The curve around the ear blurs as it grows, so the distinct shape softens sooner than the length does.
