How It’s Done – What to ask your barber or stylist for:

The top is typically left around 1-2 inches long, allowing enough length to create natural, choppy texture. Your barber or stylist will use texturizing scissors or a razor to add movement and volume. On the sides, the fade can range from a low skin fade, which stays close to the hairline, to a high fade that creates more contrast with the top. This style works best with light styling products like matte paste or sea salt spray to enhance the texture without weighing the hair down.

How to keep it fresh:
This cut will need regular touch-ups every 3-4 weeks to keep the fade sharp. For the textured top, use a blow dryer with a diffuser to create volume. For naturally curly hair use 1 pump of Floyd’s Refresh.  For hair that is not naturally coiled, use Floyd’s Grooming Texture Powder to create volume.

Mullet Undercut

Mullets continue to make a splash in 2024, and this season, the undercut is giving this classic style a sleek, modern reboot. The shorter sides and front bring a contemporary feel, while the back retains that iconic mullet length, blending the best of both worlds. It’s a daring look with a nod to the '80s that’s still completely forward-thinking. Harry Styles has been spotted rocking variations of this mullet undercut, proving that this style is here to stay—bold, unapologetic, and evolving with the times.

The Cut Details:
The sides and front are cut significantly shorter—often using clippers with a #2 or #3 guard—while the back is left longer, with layers to maintain the length and flow. The contrast between the short and long sections makes the undercut stand out. The key to modernizing the mullet is keeping the top section loose and less structured, often incorporating some texture or waves. Adding length to the front fringe can also enhance the overall balance of the cut.

Keep It Looking Sharp:
The sides may need more frequent touch-ups every 3-5 weeks to keep the undercut clean, but the longer length at the back can grow out more naturally. To style, use a fingerful of Layrite Matte Cream or Reuzel Clay Matt Fiber Cream to define the layers while keeping the look soft and moveable.

Natural Fade

If you're into more subtle transformations, the natural fade is the go-to for Fall 2024. This sleek cut transitions smoothly from short to long, enhancing your natural hairline and texture while maintaining an understated yet impactful edge. It’s all about simplicity that speaks volumes. Chris Evans frequently sports this look, demonstrating that even minimal changes can make a big statement. The natural fade is ideal for those who want a clean, effortless style with a hint of flair that complements their facial features.

Inside the Cut:
This fade is less dramatic than some others, focusing on a seamless blend from the hairline to the crown. The fade starts at the nape and sides, gradually tapering up to a slightly longer top. Clippers are often used for the transition, and the length on top can vary but generally stays between 1-2 inches. Scissor-over-comb techniques help ensure a natural progression without harsh lines. The natural fade works best for those with straight or slightly wavy hair, allowing the gradual taper to stand out.

Stay Fresh:
You’ll want to visit your barber or stylist every 4-6 weeks for this fade to maintain the clean, blended look. To style, spray with Layrite Grooming Spray before drying and finish with Reuzel Clay Matte Fiber Cream.

Each of these styles brings something unique to the table this fall—whether you're after bold or effortless, there's something for everyone. Ready to update your look?
