What Is a Low Burst Fade?
A low burst fade starts the fade low, near the ear and the neckline, and curves around the ear. It is the most subtle burst fade, with a clean shape and no sharp contrast.
What it looks like
The fade only covers the lower part of the sides, so most of the hair stays. It curves around the ear and fades into the longer back.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a neat, low-key fade.
- Office or school settings where a high fade is too bold.
- Longer tops, curls and textured styles.
Low vs mid
Low is softer and grows out better. Mid burst fade is higher and shows more contrast.
What to ask your barber
- Low burst fade, curved around the ear.
- Say how long you want the back and the top.
- Say if you want a skin finish or a soft blend.
