What to tell your barber

Use this script for a burst fade for straight hair, then show the generated reference image.

Straight hair exposes weight lines, so the transition above the burst needs soft blending.
The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Blow-dry the top into shape before adding product.
Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
Start styling with matte clay, then add more product only where the top needs control.

Open a related cut if this one is close but not quite the right fade height or top shape.

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

A mid taper adapted for straight hair, adding more side contrast while relying on dry blending to avoid visible lines.

A forward textured fringe adapted for straight hair, using dry point cutting and product to prevent a flat block.

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