Fade haircut
The hair is tapered down so that it blends to the skin on the hairline, this is the most common “fade” haircut (so a regular fade).
High Fade haircut
Blends high on the head and usually leaves whitewalls or sections of the scalp (sides and the back) with no hair at all).
Low fade haircut
The hair blends low on the hairline but not at the hairline, about an inch to two inches before the hairline.
Afro fade
An afro fade is also known as an Afro Blowout, this is basically a regular fade haircut with the hair on the top cropped short and shaped around the skull so the hair’s shape looks round. An afro blowout fade is a very popular hairstyle with black men. Will Smith is known for his afro fade blowout.
Normally what goes on the top of the head with a fade is whatever one wants, so the fade haircut simply is about where the hair disappears (i.e. blends) on the scalp. Other than with an Afro fade you can cut the hair on the top of your head like you want.
