Fade with Side Part Haircut

Refined Sharp Structured

The fade with side part haircut features longer hair on top with shorter hair on the back and sides that gradually decreases in length until it seamlessly "fades" into the skin. Then a distinct part is created on one side of the head. The fade of this haircut can range from low, mid, to high, depending on the desired look and face shape. This is a modern, versatile look that allows for a variety of styling options.

Towel dry hair. Apply a cream or leave-in conditioner to keep curls controlled and frizz-free. Using a comb, define the part, then finger-style the hair to maintain curl texture. Blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to enhance your curls’ natural shape and add volume. Finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold curls in place without weighing them down.

Start with damp hair. Apply a lightweight mousse or cream that enhances your waves and provides a light hold. Using your fingers or a comb, define the part, then finger-style the waves for a more relaxed, textured side sweep. Let air dry for a natural look, or you can blow dry with a diffuser on low heat to add volume and definition. Finish with a light hold hairspray to keep waves in place while allowing natural movement.

What to tell your stylist

Love this haircut? Here's what to tell your stylist so you can get this look.

“I’d like a fade with a side part. I’d like the top to be longer, then gradually fade down, with the fade ending along my natural hairline. I’d like a distinct part on one side. I’d like to clean up the back of the neck so the hair is even across the back.”

Be sure to tell your stylist if you part your hair on a particular side. Unsure how high you’d like the fade to start? Ask your stylist what would work best for your hair type and face shape!
