What’s a bald fade? A low bald fade is a specific type of fade that commences at the skin level and gradually increases in length just above the ear as it reaches the top. Bald fade haircuts for men showcase short cropped sides, paired with more hair on top. Bald fades are incredibly versatile haircuts for men.
The meticulously precise transition that a bald fade offers results in a sleek and polished haircut that can be styled in numerous ways. Most male celebrities, like Channing Tatum and Ryan Reynolds, maintain smooth and fashionable hairstyles thanks to this type of fade.
Barber and fade expert Carlos Miguel Chandia illustrates on his feed the diverse styles you can achieve with an all-around fade like this – undercut, pomp, slicked back, faux hawk, or with a beard. You’ll be astonished at how stylish you can look with any trendy hairstyle!
This style is the perfect fade if you desire a relaxed, low-maintenance cut. Once the hair grows from those bald-faded sides, it seamlessly blends with the longer hair, creating a look as fresh as the one you began with.
Here are the top and most sought-after low bald fades to kickstart your journey!

Stylish Afro for Black Men
This is an Afro mid-low drop bald fade. It’s a faded haircut for men that can be tailored to various face shapes and head contours based on the positioning of the fade on the occipital bone and the styling at the sides. Use Argan oil, a twist sponge, and a holding spray. It can be dressed up or down. It’s an active man’s haircut, and it requires medium maintenance.
Sleek Back Long Hair
This stylish sleek back with a low bald fade is a modern classic, blending dramatic top volume with ultra-clean sides.

Maintain this style with a strong-hold gel or pomade to keep the hair firmly in place throughout the day.

Disconnected Undercut with Subtle Bald Fade

I recommend using any clay on top for low bald fade haircuts like this. Clay has a gritty yet dry texture. Dry hair typically showcases shorter textures exceptionally well.

It’s a messy style, so enjoy!

A little paste and a few minutes of blow-drying are all it takes to appear as sharp and fresh as this gentleman.
