#4: Low Burst Fade for Thick Hair
Achieving a good fade on thick hair is possible, but it isn’t always simple. The burst fade of this hairstyle is visible around the ears. It blends well into the length of the hair, resulting in a textured look. I always use the point-cutting method to reduce the hair’s bulk and create a sense of movement.
#5: Burst Fade Mullet with Beard
I always believe that in a finished look, a beard is just as vital as the hair. The mullet, short above the ears, complements a thick, faded beard. A well-trimmed base of the beard highlights a masculine jawline. For a dry texture, finish by applying Crazy Bull Space Dust Powder on the top.
#6: Fade Burst Haircut with Bangs
Burst fades are closely cut around the ears while leaving some length on the back. Then, this length gradually transitions to the top. You can do the fade at different lengths. However, I prefer shaving it close to the skin and blending it well with the back and top. You can fade or line the nape of the neck. I recommend exploring different styles to find your preference.
#7: Short Waves with Mid Burst Taper Fade
With curly hair, you can create a lot of texture, as evident in the style featuring short waves and a mid-burst taper fade. In a burst fade, the hair is cut short around the ears while leaving a longer length in the back. This style is somewhat similar to a Mohawk, though there are differences. Longer hair is left on the top to create the waves. To achieve this style, you need a strong hold product and a comb to guide the hair in the same direction.

#9: Modern Burst Fade with Shaved Nape Line
Designs can really change a style, like this modern burst fade with a shaved nape line. The fade, which circles around the ear and flows into the base of the nape, is enhanced with the design. When I create hair patterns, I consider the style’s shape. I ensure that the design complements the overall look.
#10: High Burst Fade with Textured Top
A burst fade’s defining feature is how it shapes high or low around the ear. This version of a burst fade, with a textured top, extends higher above the temple area. It retains more length for added texture.
#11: Medium-Length Burst Fade Haircut
This medium-length burst fade haircut features a heavy blend. This style leaves more weight at the transition, creating an over-directed flow into the top. Such haircuts look great with darker hair, as they create a good contrast from the skin to the heavy texture on top. The barber uses a lot of point-cutting to achieve the flow.

#12: Mohawk Undercut Burst Fade
Burst fades and mohawks are similar in that they feature a particular shape. But subtle variations exist between them. The disconnected top section provides the necessary weight for the Mohawk. The burst fade shapes the shorter sides, resulting in a blend of the two styles.
#14: Curly Burst Fade with Short Sides
A curly burst fade is disconnected to leave hair length on top. The fade goes down to the skin, and it’s blended out into the beard. Adding texture to the curl’s ends helps make them stand out and improve the curl shape. Apply Argan oil to damp hair and leave it to dry naturally to create hold in the hair.

#15: Tapered Burst Fade Curly Cut
Burst fades, like mullets, are cut around the ears. But with burst fade, the back of the hair is kept shorter. A decent styling gel can enhance your curls and give a strong hold.

#16: Slick Back with Taper Fade
Burst fades, like mullets, are cut around the ears. But with a burst fade, the back of the hair is kept shorter. Maintaining slick backs typically requires a good product. If you prefer a shiny look, try using pomade.
#17: Mullet Burst Fade for Textured Hair
Curly hair must be cut differently because the strands go in all directions. The mullet burst fade style is cut short down to the skin. Then, the fade blends tightly into the top of the hair. The hair is left longer in parts to create a stylish, textured mullet look. With curls, I like to apply Argan oil to damp hair to help control the frizz.
#18: Spiky Mohawk Fade
Mohawk fades come in all shapes and sizes. A mohawk mixed with a burst fade can leave more hair to style. Lots of texture has been cut into the length. I like to use point-cutting and texturing scissors for lots of movement. Style your hair so that it looks as dry as possible. A pomade is a good option for guys who prefer a shiny look to their hair.
#19: Afro Burst Fade Haircut
Afro hair is a unique hair type to cut and style. In this photo, the burst fade is disconnected from the top to keep the sides tight. The sides are cut with most burst fade haircuts, leaving length at the back. So opt for a higher fade in the back of the head for a more rounded shape.
#21: Wavy Hair with Mid Burst Fade
Burst fades keep the sides short and length on the top and back, very similar to a mohawk. Burst fades are low-maintenance compared to mohawks, as they can be left to grow out and still look good. This makes it a versatile style as you can grow out another look.
#23: Burst Faded Curly Hair
The burst fade on this curly hair makes the length on top stand out. It has been faded down to the skin and blended into the length with a small disconnection for a creative finish. Curls allow more texture for your style but styled wrong can leave frizz. Ask your barber for advice on products.

#24: Short Hair with Burst Skin Fade
This short hair with a burst skin fade leaves a neat finish, especially with the line-ups. The sides have been faded back out into the facial hair to create a nice flow. These fades couple up well with shorter styles, even buzz cuts, for a sharp look.
