25 Low Burst Fade Haircut Ideas to Add A Subtle Pop to Your Cut

Have you ever considered trying out a low burst fade? Zach Levene, a seasoned hairstylist, shares his expert insights on this trendy haircut. With years of experience honing his craft in barbering, Levene offers his unique perspective on this timeless style.
Ideal Hair for a Low Burst Fade
“What makes a burst fade stand out is its round outline around the ear,” says Levene. To make it shine, you need a seamless blend that meets a heavy weight line. “This connects the fade to the bulk of the hair’s length,” he adds. He suggests that the low burst fade looks better on thicker hair. He also points out that adding texture to curly or thick hair can greatly improve the hairstyle’s overall look.
Adapting a Low Burst Fade to Different Face Shapes
Levene assures that, while the look can vary, there’s no single face shape that’s perfect for a burst fade—it merely depends on the individual’s preference. He uses the example of different face lengths. On a long face, the cut might resemble a modern mohawk. On a wider face, it could look more like a mullet. “Both these styles are cool,” Levene says, while he recommends adjusting the length and width at the back based on the client’s liking.
Styling Tips and Recommended Products
According to Levene, a diffuser and some salt spray make the best combo for styling a low burst fade. “Using this combo brings out the hair’s natural flow, gives it more texture,” he explains. To hold the style in place yet allow it some movement, Levene recommends light wax or powder addition to the list of must-have products for this trendy style.
