What is a Comb Over Fade?
A comb over fade is pretty much self-explanatory. This is a comb over haircut (parted particularly on one side of the head) and pushed into one direction.
Then, it is cut and faded on the sides gradually & seamlessly. The top is left looking very fluffy & voluminous, while the sides are tapered & a lot thinner compared to the top.
How to Do Mid Fade with Comb Over
Step 1: Start off with growing out your hair. You will need to have a lot of hair at the top, especially around the center of your head. Once it gets to your preferred length, visit your barber.
Step 2: Tell them to cut the sides and to gradually let your hair fade. They will achieve this part the easiest & fastest with clippers, while it won’t be as precise with scissors.
Step 3: Leave the top very fluffy & voluminous. This haircut is also ideal for guys who have bald patches or a thinner hairline and they want to cover it with their long comb over.
Step 4: Push the hair in one direction where you prefer it more. Remember that your fade will come to a mid-length of your head, which means that you will have a lot of material to work with.
Step 5: Use a hair gel that is not too waxy to set your hair in place. Also, use your favorite small tooth-comb to evenly distribute the product through hair, but leave the sides & the fade untouched, it looks a lot cleaner and sharper like that.
Comb Over Taper VS Fade: The Difference
A tapered haircut means that the hair on the sides and back gets gradually shorter as it goes down, blending into the natural hairline instead of being shaved down to the skin. Also, the comb over effect lets you push your hair to one preferred side.
The fade, on the other hand, is the same thing where your hair gradually thins & becomes faded on the sides, but it goes much shorter, often right down to the skin.
In fact, the length on top is up to you, and you can still comb it over to one side, just like the styles in this article.
