This fade for curly hair is an easy, manageable, fashionable haircut for most teenagers. It has a short fade with a natural curly finish, as described by stylist Liam Gardner from Crediton, Devon.

“My favorite part of this haircut is the natural finish to the top and the gradual smooth fade between the short and long hair,” says Gardner.

Gardner highly recommends a salt spray to style this haircut. “Simply spray onto the hair and do a scrunching motion while blow-drying and leaving it a bit damp to keep the natural curls,” the stylist explains.

This high fade with curly top haircut is also recommended to young, trendy men with a busy lifestyle but still, want something a little bit different.

Slightly Curly with High Bald Fade

@sarah.ann.turowski

This curly cut with a fade is tight, edgy, and undone. Style creator Sarah Turowski of Oregon thinks that the best thing about this look is that it’s a really enticing balance of elements that contrast and complement each other: the sharpness of a skin fade and the soft edge and activation of curls.

According to Turowski, men must be open to using a product or embracing their natural movement. Turowski adds, “a skin fade and curly hair require regular maintenance so if you want to keep up this cut, it is a bit more of a commitment. It’s also easy to grow out when you decide to transition into something else. I brought out his natural curls using a diffuser and Kevin Murphy Killer Curl. Highly recommend for curly hair!”

Short Curly Hair + Skin Fade

This short hair is an updated faded curly men’s style, cut by cosmetologist Jessica Dorais of Huntersville, NC.

“My favorite thing is the skin fade because it’s flawless and blends beautifully! If you are carefree and a “no fuss” kind of guy, it’s for you. Styling product for this look would be a gel or paste,” Dorais explains.

If you’ve got a personality that’s a little on the wild side, Dorais recommends an edgy men’s hairstyle like this! She also warns that maintenance is a must in this style and the round face shapes work best.

Long Curly Fringe with Fade

This curly fade haircut is a modern curl crop, which was designed by hair artist Bea Petty from Monterey, CA.

Petty’s styling tip for creating this is to make sure your hair is slightly damp. No need for pre-product (unless you want to, doesn’t make a huge difference), and then use the diffuser on your blow-dryer and crunch the hair. Petty emphasizes, “Make sure the blow-dryer is set on low with medium to high heat. Dry until there is no more moisture in the hair.”

To finish, Petty used the Cloud Dust Powder from Schwarzkopf and lightly sprinkled the dust around the top while crunching the curls. The powder helps hold the curls in place without the look and feel of any product. You can always add hairspray or a shine spray for a little extra hold if you feel the Dust Powder isn’t enough.

“This easy tossed curl look is great for guys who work in a professional setting to anyone who is in a rush. This style takes less than 5 minutes to do. All you need is a blow-dryer with an added diffuser and any kind of hair powder. Then you’re set for the day,” Petty points out.
