Low burst fade with tied microbraids
Many slender straight-back microbraids gathered into small rear tie, clear partings and retained rear hair; low semicircular 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 low burst fade with tied microbraids. Keep the tied microbraids 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.

- Follow your braider’s cleansing routine and let the installed braids dry thoroughly.
- Arrange the existing rows or lengths gently rather than brushing through or repeatedly tightening them.
- Use only the small amount of care product suited to your routine; discuss a braid refresh separately from the fade or taper tidy-up.
