Burst Fade Styles

A fade that arcs around the ear, often paired with curls, mohawks, mullets, or textured tops.

A curved burst fade around the ear with length kept through the back, giving a sharper version of the modern mullet.

A softer burst fade that keeps the arc low around the ear, useful when you want shape without a dramatic high fade.

A balanced burst fade with the curve placed higher than a low burst but still focused around the ear.

A bold burst fade with the arc pushed higher for more contrast around curls, crops, mohawks, or short textured tops.

A curved ear-focused fade that lets curls stay full on top and through the back while cleaning the sides.

A burst fade shaped around a central mohawk strip, keeping the sides tight while the top and back carry the silhouette.

A burst fade adapted for straight hair, with extra texture on top so the curved fade does not look too severe.

A short buzz cut with a burst fade around the ear for more shape than a standard all-around fade.

A hybrid of a low taper and burst fade, cleaning the sideburns and ear area while keeping the back softer.
