Re: How to Find a Clean Fade That Works for Different Hair Types?
For thick, slightly wavy hair, the high taper fade can be an excellent choice. It keeps the hair shorter on the sides and back but leaves enough length on top to work with your natural waves. The fade starts high, so it gives a sharp, clean look without making your hair look too flat or tight against the scalp. This style is quite popular because it blends well with various hair textures, and the taper ensures a neat finish that grows out gracefully. Maintenance is relatively simple too — just regular trims to keep the fade sharp and occasional styling to enhance your hair’s natural wave. Many guys appreciate the balance it offers between a polished and effortless style. If you want to keep your hair feeling natural but still have that defined, fresh look, this fade might be exactly what you need.
