What is a textured crop and skin fade hairstyle for men?

A textured crop is a timeless and classical hairstyle that has become increasingly popular in recent times. It consists of short, choppy layers that are trimmed to create texture and definition. This hairstyle can be left messy, styled with a product, or worn somewhere in between. The textured crop works especially well when paired with a skin fade for added contrast and dimension.

What to ask the barber at the barbershop? 

When asking your barber for a textured crop and skin fade combo, there are a few things to consider:

  1. Firstly, you should decide how long or short you would like the layers of your hair to be.
  2. Then, it's time to decide how high you'd like the skin fade. A good rule to follow is that shorter layers compliment a high fade and longer layers compliment a mid fade. 
  3. Lastly, decide the length of the fringe and if you'd like it cut straight across (blunt) or worn textured.
