Although a hairstyle is the easiest way to express yourself, you still need a guide through the diversity of modern styles to create your signature look. Or, instead of going for an entirely new hairstyle, you can spruce up your look with a stylish burst fade, which also has many variations.

Get started with this selection of bold and original hairstyle variations for everyone!

Although both mullet and burst fade are known for their shorter sides and longer hair on the top and back, you cannot confuse them. Thanks to the clearly shaved, rounded temple area, burst fades form a gradual contrast with the rest of the hair. Mullets, for their part, usually have an undercut on the sides, which makes them look sharper and noticeably more contrasty. However, stylists often combine both hairstyles, creating an ultra-stylish burst-fade-mullet look.
