20 The Most Fashionable Mid Fade Haircuts for Men

Men with thin hair often experience difficulty finding a good haircut. One trick is to keep the hair short. Here, the hair rests naturally, and the mid fade provides balance. (You can also opt for the shaved line.)

On the other hand, if you’re Asian and have thicker hair, you might choose a style like this one. The hair retains volume and texture on top, and the sides are mid faded for neatness.

For a nice everyday style, this casual brush up is great. With just a little bit of styling, you can achieve this messy, medium volume look.

Mid fades also pair nicely with longer hair. Whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, you can rock this style.

Here’s another excellent option for curly hair. The top of the head stays curly, but the sides are shortened with a mid fade and line up.

This brush-up haircut can give you the classic “rolled out of bed” look while staying stylish. The mid fade here is just a bit higher than normal to accentuate the brushed up hair.

If shorter haircuts are more your style, you’ll like this faded line up. It’s a low maintenance hairstyle that’s still high contrast thanks to the fade.

Here’s an eye-catching style that adventurous guys will love. The mid fade is complemented by both dyed highlights and a shaved line that runs across the side of the head.

Here’s a tidier version of the brush-up style. The hair is short and textured, and the fade blends the hair neatly so there aren’t any sudden changes in length.

Curly hair comes in all shapes and sizes. For guys who have smaller curls, this hairstyle is a nice trendy option.

Once reserved exclusively for the avant-garde and boy-band wannabes, bleach blonde hair on men has come a long way. This is a great change for those who want something new but not so out there. The brightness in the hair will lighten up facial features, and the dark roots in the mid-fade make the look a bit more carefree. To prevent any Eminem comparisons, keep tones cool or grey by washing hair with a purple shampoo.

If you’re after a mid fade that’s great for curly hair, look no further. This style allows the hair’s curly nature to shine through and uses the mid fade to add tidiness.

Want something that’s uniquely eye-catching? Pair a fringe with a mid fade. When you add lots of texture, as shown here, this style becomes one of a kind.

A hard part can easily add verve to any style, and it’s a great complement to this curly mid fade.

Here’s a really attention-grabbing style that features a highly textured, windswept top. The mid fade cleans up the look, and the beard adds balance.

Your hairstyle doesn’t have to be complex to be great. This style, with its straightforward top and line up, proves that simplicity works.

This tidy mid fade is all about the line up. Its 90 degree angle makes this look stand out with its clean, effective look.

Mid fades go really well with undercuts, and if you want something high volume, it can be a winning combination. This undercut features a tall quiff that’s nicely balanced out by the mid fade.

For a trendy, youthful hairstyle, this brush up will do the trick. The meticulously trimmed beard introduces sharp angles that contrast with the hair.

This buzz cut uses a mid fade and a subtle line up to create a highly defined hairstyle that’s perfect for guys who want a no-nonsense, low maintenance style that still looks good.

With some hairstyles, it’s all about the details. That’s certainly true for this cut. While the top of the hair is pretty simple, the mid fade and hard part add a ton of style.

Looking for texture? This hairstyle has got you covered. The top is spiked up and styled forward, giving the hair a superb sense of movement.

This hairstyle is an interesting blend of a brush up, mid fade, and line up. The defined lines created by the hair and beard line up give this style its trademark look.

If you want something fresh, you can try the half-dyed look that’s seen lots of popularity around the world. There are endless possibilities here.

If a beard and moustache are part of your look, choose a style that complements them. This fringe style with a long tooth balances out a large mustache and beard very nicely.

For a thick, high volume style, this style delivers. The mid fade is an absolute necessity here, as it contrasts with the large amount of textured hair on top.

Think of the fading technique like shadowing for drawing. Some manage to perfect it and it seems this barber is one of those. The thick sole spike is a neat addition to the top styling.

This mid fade has been done in a burst fade style to hold the shape. With the french crop expertly textured is easy to see this hairstyle being a hit!

Personalization, whether it is by the hand of the stylist or of your own choosing is able to give your look a total vibe make-over.  This one looks like two initials “D.H.” So hey! Why not steal a page from their book to keep it in the game.

A mid-fade can look great on anyone, but it’s the black-haired folk getting the prize in my opinion. If you’re still wondering why it is because of their hair color! Such a strong contrast levels up the appreciation factor for the handiwork done.

Someone in Pitch Perfect could’ve been sporting this look and we wouldn’t even question it…because it rocks! The mid-fade meeting the line-up and then tapered all the way back has become a classic.

Did you notice the super short side part too? That’s very unusually seen but I am so here for it!

Line-ups can differ in the angles they’re done in; given some people’s hairlines require different perspectives. This one, however, is a textbook 90 degrees on the spot, contrasting the very slight line the fade makes. What a great technique.

Another textbook line up but I especially love the technique that incorporates the fade to the sideburns. Here we see a regular side part but the whole hairstyle could also work wonderfully with a hard part.

Whatever your reasons are to go with a medium fade on the sides we love how it’s been done on this example. To let them waves and curls shine! Since the hair is not super long on top a mid-fade is spot on!

Check out how cool looking is the beard following the fade shape! A lot of us show a picture to the stylist and expect them to get it just right when the reality is, sometimes, you just have to be very specific about what you want.

Following the natural hairline with curly hair is so underrated sometimes! See how it beautifully merges at the top with the longer curls? And this medium fade does justice to that sideburn degradation to the beard. All marks here, and hats off!

Such a sharp drop on the length of the fade gives us enough room to create a pretty good ground for contrasting hair lengths. Notice how the curls have been scissor trimmed into a faux-hawk to add some guided shape into them. I love this sort of style!
