If you're looking for a fresh style, a temporary fade is a cool detail that can be added to a variety of hairstyles, including tapers and undercuts. The sleep fade draws attention to the eyes and softens the transition point between facial hair and sideburns, where hair is often patchy and sparse. This contemporary look requires skill to achieve and attitude to perform.

Although this style originated in black barbershops, it has become a popular choice for men of all nationalities and hair types. First hyped by '90s celebrities like Will Smith, the Brooklyn Fade is making a comeback as part of an overall revival of '90s fashion.

If you like wearing a beard but don't want to look like a mountain man, try a bald temperature fade. The taper of the neck and sideburns down to the skin creates a cool contrast with dense facial hair and tightly rolled lengths on top. It is modern and stylish.

A temporary fade hairstyle works well with other sculptural elements such as shaved slashes. The parallel stripes are organized in pairs and are reminiscent of racing stripes. The sharp forehead and neckline feels urban cool. The flowing waves add a bit of old-world charm.
