What Is a Low Taper Fade (and How It Differs from Mid or High Fades)
A low taper fade starts subtly above the ears and along the nape, creating a clean gradient that keeps the focus on the top section of your hair.
Unlike the mid or high fade, which climbs higher up the sides, the low taper offers a more balanced, professional look — perfect for anyone who wants to keep things neat without going too extreme. It’s stylish, timeless, and adaptable to almost any face shape or hair texture.
