What Is a Burst Fade Low Taper?
A burst fade low taper combines the curve of a burst fade with a low taper. The shortening is low and gradual around the ear and neckline, which gives a clean, soft finish.
What it looks like
The taper starts low, around the ear and the neckline, and curves behind the ear. The rest of the hair stays long. It is the most conservative burst option.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a tidy, subtle cut.
