High shadow fade with a jagged asymmetric fringe

Flat forward-brushed straight top, unmistakably asymmetric zigzag jagged fringe with one front corner longer; high broad shadow fade. 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 high shadow fade with a jagged asymmetric fringe. Keep the jagged asymmetric fringe 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.

How to style this look

  1. Set the fringe or top in the direction shown while the hair is damp.
  2. Dry gently, then work a small amount of light paste or cream through the retained length if useful.
  3. Adjust the dry shape with your fingers and keep product off the very short edges.
