Mid burst fade with a corkscrew mullet
Short separated corkscrew curl fringe and long curly rear tail to collar, loose distinct ringlets; mid circular burst fade around ears. Compare the front, both side references and rear view to discuss the outline with your barber.
What to ask your barber
I would like a mid burst fade with a corkscrew mullet. Keep the corkscrew mullet shown here, and agree the retained length before cutting. Let’s agree where the fade sits, how much skin or short hair is visible, and how it connects to the top. Check the other side and back together before cutting.
Build a fuller barber brief ↗How to style this look
- Dry the layers with your fingers so the side and rear movement can settle naturally.
- Use a little curl cream or foam to encourage the curl groups without brushing them out.
- Adjust the ends when dry, preserving the length and movement that distinguish the layered shape.
