Drop-fade haircut is a skin-fading variation, where the gradient cut falls deeper behind the ears and creates a sleek arch shape. What makes this hairstyle so great is its versatility and practicality. It is often low maintenance, but never skimps on delivering a polished style. Furthermore, it is a cut that does not discriminate, as it works with an endless range of hair textures. Whether your hair is straight or naturally curly, this cut should be at the top of your list if you want to try new hair ideas.

Not every crop can deliver sophistication and contemporary style in one package. This look and its many variations do just that, making it ideal for every man, from professionals to trend seekers. So why not give these ideas a try?

A fade can be an easy way to add a modern touch to your hairstyle. Have your stylist taper just around the ears to soften the volume of your hair and turn the edge up.

For drop fades with long tips, gel and hairspray are essential to keep the cut tame. The sleek silhouette offers versatility for the office, weekends and everything in between.
