Burst Fade
Burst Fade
A burst fade is a modern haircut where the hair gradually fades around the ear in a rounded, semi-circular shape while leaving more length at the back of the head. Unlike a traditional fade that goes straight across, the burst fade creates a “burst” effect around the ear, blending smoothly into longer hair on top or into styles like a mohawk or mullet. It is popular because it gives a clean, sharp look while still allowing creative styling on the top and back.
