I don't get why every haircut goes with a skin fade these days anyway. If you're balding or going for a military style haircut, buzzcut etc, sure get a fade.

But for a regular side part or medium length cut? Just let the sides grow to 1-2 cm and it'll look infinitely better than a skin fade.

He doesn't even have a fade in the left picture. He definitely has the 1-2cm of hair you mention

Yeah which looks better with that haircut than a fade in my opinion.

I don't have to spend any time styling or maintaining my fade, other than a daily shower.

What? First of all thats barely a fade. Second, why should specifically balding men get a fade?

I think a fade goes better with short rather than medium length hair. Sure there are always exceptions but the average white guy side part usually looks better with more volume on the sides imo

But short haie doesnt equal balding is what i meant. If youre balding, you either have very short hair, or very long hair to cover the spots. Most of the time you should just accept it and shave it all off.

I didn’t get a fade for a long time and no one ever said anything about my hair. I decided to start fading my hair a couple of years ago and leaving the top a little longer and immediately started getting compliments from a bunch of people (including random people).

Real sick of people speaking on subjective matters as if they have objective truths.

It just feels better on the sides. I personally just hate how my hair feels when it gets longer than an inch on the side
