Blurry fade with beard is a tricky yet great haircut for men to try. I suggest having a well-experienced barber execute a blurry fade. It should have a flawless transition from the skin to the desired length, leaving no room for any blending flaws. A razor-sharp hairline takes this blurry fade to the next level of excellence.

Drop Fade with Beard

You got to love the gradually faded sides in this cut! Partnering a drop fade with a beard like this will level up your styling game.

Hairstylist Enrique Tapia from Hesperia, CA created this haircut. “This is called a mid fade with hooks on the side, a textured top, and a beard lineup. I would describe this cut as being easy to style as the top has been point cut and follows the theme of a rugged choppy texture look. My favorite thing about this cut is how the fade radiates a clear contrast in length that stands out to the eye. It is the focal point of this cut,” states Tapia.

“I would advise a dude who’s interested in beard fade cuts to first consider going with a shadow fade (a fade without going skin) in order to avoid a tan line on the skin. After having a shadow fade, you can slowly work your way down to a bald mid fade. From experience, this will make the transition appear more gradual in the long run. Overall, beard fade hairstyles are very popular and currently trending,” Tapia explains.

High Beard Fade

Pull off this high beard fade with enough length of hair on top for easy styling. This look is called a 0.5 fade into the beard with a spiked back top by barber Jaz Bailey of Toronto, ON.

“My favorite thing about the look is the seamless transition from the middle of the head from light to dark, going both ways. The hair fades into the top as well as the bottom,” Bailey notes.

The advice that Bailey would give to a man who wants this look is to consider the top of the hair. He adds, “I work on trying to see how we can get the top looking exactly how they want it, whether that is through texturing or styling with blow-dry and product.”

Long Beard Fade

Merge a long beard fade with a delicate faded cut to spice up your brown hair.

Created by stylist Gleb Morozov of Russia, this is the look of a modern hero, a man who cannot afford to spend a lot of time caring for his hair. “I really like that despite the simplicity of the design, this bow has its own details, and the density and structure of the hair and beard allow you to add personality to the image,” Morozov emphasizes.

What’s great about beard fade haircuts is their versatility. Morozov explains, “By combining the beard shape and the haircut shape, we can achieve the perfect balance on any head with any bone structure of the face, and the fade of the beard will emphasize the accuracy and character of the person.”

Skin Fade with Short Bangs and Beard Fade

The short bangs are what make this skin fade haircut full of spirit.

This beard fade cut is called a crop fade with a beard fade, designed by barber Gabriel Silvagnoli of Ponce, PR.

“I first saw the crop fade in European men. The best part is that it’s really not time-consuming to style at home. If you have a fast life and consider yourself edgy, bold, and fashionable then this style is for you,” says Silvagnoli.
