It is so versatile it suits all face shapes and can be customized as per personal style sensibilities. It involves a close shave towards the neck and the hair is made heavier and heavier towards the crown. -
Taper Fade- The Taper Fade is a variation of the skin fade, wherein, the fade goes towards the sideburns and slowly fades into the beard. Another variation of the taper fade is one where the side burns taper down into a thin line. This look was adorned by the daring likes of Will Smith, Chris Brown and Johnny Depp. If you can sport the stubble, you can definitely pull off this look. -
Moderate Quiff- This hairstyle has been permuted and combined over the ages and has now manifested in the form of the moderate quiff. This modern, edgy yet classy hairstyle can be a little tricky to pull off and maintain. However, if done right, it can produce some very favourable results.
