burst fade

Gradual temple blend

A burst fade is a men's haircut style where the hair gradually tapers around and behind the ear in a curved, semicircular pattern—the fade "bursts" outward from the ear rather than following a straight horizontal line.

The technique creates a distinctive arc shape, often paired with longer hair on top or styles like mohawks and South of France cuts.

He asked the barber for a burst fade with a design on the side.
