High-Top Skin Fade

About the High-Top Skin Fade

Cut & Silhouette: Description: High-top fade with a precisely sculpted, rectangular prism top and a sharp, high-contrast disconnect. Key Details: The sides and back feature a high skin fade, graduating rapidly from very short hair to bare skin around the temples and nape. The top is left significantly longer and is cut with extreme geometric precision to form a flat, square block, creating a distinct disconnect from the faded sides. A shaved line is present on the left side. Ear coverage: above-ear (ears fully exposed). Sideburns: shaved to skin. Nape/neckline: tapered to skin, following the high fade. Length: Overall: Top height approximately 3.5–4 in (9–10 cm) from scalp to ends. Front: Forms the front face of the square top, about 3.5–4 in (9–10 cm) in height. Sides: Fades from ~0.25 in (0.5 cm) at the top of the fade line down to bare skin. Back/Nape: Matches sides; high fade tapered to skin. Fringe: Integrated into the structured top, styled vertically upwards; the lowest edge of the front block is about 3.5–4 in (9–10 cm) above the hairline. Front/Bangs & Parting: Description: The front hair is styled upward and forward, forming the blunt, flat front edge of the high-top block; no traditional fringe. Parting: A distinct shaved design line (hard part) is present on the left side, extending horizontally above the temple. No natural part is visible on the top. Texture & Finish: Natural Texture: Coily (Type 4B–4C). Styled Finish: Extremely structured, precise, and matte finish, with a very firm, almost solid appearance. Hair is meticulously shaped and held in place. Styling tool: likely clippers, pick comb, and strong holding product. Hold level 5/5 (very stiff, completely set). Volume & Density: Description: Very high, uniform volume and density on the top, forming a solid, self-supporting block that contrasts sharply with the extremely low volume and flat appearance of the faded sides and back. Thickness: Thick; very high density. Color: Base Color: Dark brown, neutral tone. Multi-tonal Effects: Uniform color; no highlights, balayage, or artificial multi-tonal effects visible.
