Comb over fade
The hair on top is swept to the side, the part is a crisp line cut in with clippers or a razor, and the sides fade down to the skin. It’s a sharper, more modern take on the classic side part.

What to tell your stylist
“I’d like a comb over fade. Please cut the part in as a thin, crisp line on my natural parting side. Give me a mid fade that goes down to the skin, and leave enough on top to sweep it over.”
Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

About Comb Over Fade
Two things set it apart from a classic side part. The part isn’t made with a comb but cut in as a thin line with clippers or a razor, and the sides don’t just get shorter, they blend down to bare skin. The fade can start low, below the ear, or mid, at the temples.
Short sides slim the face, so it works well on round faces, and on oval, square and diamond faces it highlights the jaw and cheekbones. It gives the cleanest result on straight and wavy hair. Jet black and chocolate look classic, while platinum blonde turns up the contrast.
What’s the difference between a comb over fade and a pompadour?
Both keep the sides short. A pompadour lifts the front up and back, with the volume at the very front, while a comb over fade lays the hair to one side and gets its character from the crisp part line. Try both on the same photo to see which suits your face.
How long does the shaved part line last?
It blurs as your hair grows, usually within about two weeks, so most barbers refresh it along with the fade. If you’d rather skip the line, a classic side part made with a comb gives a similar look in a softer way.
