What is a comb over fade?
The comb over fade hairstyle became popular in the 1920s and has made a comeback today. No longer seen only among vintage enthusiasts, the comb has made a comeback as a modern and soft hair choice. Adding a modern twist, such as a fade, renews the vintage cut and creates a stylish and edgy option for any modern man.
Does the comb over fade suit you?
The comb over fade is generally a flattering cut that - if you have such a face shape - makes your head and face appear less round or circular. Just be sure to take care when styling at the top, especially if you notice a few more hairs in the sink when you wash your hair. A comb over fade hairstyle makes hair look thinner. That means thin hair looks even thinner. If you are balding, a buzz cut or caesar cut fade hairstyle would suit you much better.

Styling: the do's & don'ts of the comb over fade
The comb over fade is a classic hairstyle that is simply brushed with the natural growth of the hair. Using a parting, the hair is swept back and to the side, emphasizing volume and healthy hair growth. The comb over fade is best achieved by using a comb and a blow dryer. For example, for the finish, choose a matte finish with a small amount of hair wax as opposed to a pomade which leaves a shine. This is usually called a loose comb.
