Styleguide: Comb over fade

What is a comb over fade?

The comb over fade hairstyle became popular in the 1920s and has made a full comeback today. The comb is no longer just seen among vintage enthusiasts but has made a comeback as a modern and soft hair choice. By adding a modern twist, such as a fade, the vintage cut is renewed, creating a stylish and edgy option for every modern man.

 

Does the comb over fade suit you?

The comb over fade is generally a flattering cut, making - if you have such a face shape - your head and your Face appear less round or circular. Be careful when styling the top, especially if you notice a few 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.
