drop fade
Gradual temple cut
A drop fade is a type of men's haircut where the fade—the gradual tapering from longer to shorter hair—curves downward behind the ear rather than following a straight horizontal line around the head.
This creates a "dropped" arc that dips lower at the back, often accentuating the natural shape of the head.
The style is popular in barbershops and pairs well with various top styles: He asked for a drop fade with a textured crop on top.
