high fade
Gradual temple trim
A high fade is a men's haircut where the hair gradually tapers from longer on top to very short or skin-close, with the fade beginning high on the sides of the head—typically near the temples.
The style emphasizes contrast between the full hair above and the closely cropped sides: He asked his barber for a high fade with a hard part.
