Now that you know how to style your afro fade haircut, it’s time to decide the exact look you want to go for. Check out some of our top style inspirations for this look.
1. Fade with Beard
If you have a beard, a fade haircut can make your facial hair stand out. To emphasize it, even more, keep your afro short. Keep your beard moisturized by using SheaMoisture Men Maracuja Oil & Shea Butter Beard Balm. This balm will help define, smooth, and shape facial hair.
2. Braided High Fade
Want to try something new with your face haircut? Put your hair into braids and tie them up into a ponytail.
3. Buzz Cut Style
If low maintenance is your thing, this buzz-cut style may be the look for you. You can still sport the fade look even with a closely cropped length like this.
4. Mini Afro Fade
Want the look of an afro without a lot of maintenance? Try out a mini afro fade. This style shows off the natural volume of your hair in a way that’s easy to take care of. For a more defined look, apply SheaMoisture Men Argan Oil & Shea Butter Defining Cream. This product helps keep your hair smooth and moisturized while providing shine and lightweight hold.
5. Short Afro Fade
This short afro fade look emphasizes the difference between the two lengths, making your hair on top appear longer.
6. Brushed-Out Taper Fade
Want a look that stands out, but also shows off your natural hair? Brush out your afro fade for a look that is effortless yet stylish all at the same time.
7. Overgrown Afro
Just because you have a long afro doesn’t mean you can’t opt for a fade haircut too. Show off the length you got by keeping your strands longer on top and having them get gradually shorter towards the nape of your neck.
8. High Top Fade
Afros bring so much natural height to your look. We say if you can achieve the style, why not show it off? Make the height of your easier to take care of by opting for a high top fade style.
9. Dreadlock Fade
If you aren’t feeling a braided look, but still want to do something different with your afro fade, try dreadlocks. Your hair will need a bit of length before dreadlocking it, but once it’s set you can easily dreadlock new hair growth to keep up the style.
10. Short Fade
Just because you like wearing your hair short doesn’t mean you can’t wear an afro fade too. Pair your cropped cut with a full beard and you’ll have a look that’s ready for any occasion. From short afro fade haircuts to grown-out fades, there are a huge variety of ways you can sport this look!
