What Is a V Burst Fade?
A V burst fade is a burst fade where the back is shaped into a V, pointing down the neck. The curve around the ear keeps the sides clean, and the V gives the back a sharp finish.
What it looks like
The fade curves around the ear, and the longer hair at the back is cut into a V. It is a popular finish for a mullet or a longer back.
Who it suits
- Anyone with a longer back and a clean fade around the ear.
- Straight and wavy hair hold the V best.
- People who like a defined, sharp look.
What to ask your barber
- Burst fade with the back cut into a V.
- Say how long the back should be and how deep the V.
- Say if you want a taper or a skin fade at the ear.
Upkeep
The V loses its shape as it grows out. Many people book every 3 to 4 weeks. Read the burst fade guide for other versions.
