By definition, fade haircuts are styles that starts short and gradually disappear into clear skin. If done correctly by an expert, the transition is usually a flawless blur or gradient. The most common versions of the fade are zero, bald and skin fade.
A fade can be created anywhere on your head. However, there are small fades that are only restricted to the sideburn, neckline, or the temple. High and mid fades are more significant, and the hair is chopped short half way up your head or up to the hairline. From the three main fade haircut, you can get numerous styles, and some are covered here. Take a gander…

This is very classic hairstyle for guys that can be worn at the office and also in a club or at the gym.
