We all want to have hairstyles that are sure to beat the heat, be low-maintenance and stylish! Obviously, it’s a no brainer that the less hair you have on your head, the longer you will be able to last out in the hot sun, handling business and having fun! This article is going to give you ideas about skin fade/bald fade haircuts that you can rock this season!
#21: Bald Fade Caesar Cut
A Caesar cut can look like a simple buzz cut in which the entire hair is cut to about an eighth of an inch long. The hair is visible but very low. The best thing about this haircut is that it is very low maintenance and easily done!

#22: High Top Fade
The high top fade is an awesome choice for those who like to have a little extra length on top. It also works very well for those who want to grow mass amounts of facial hair like full beads. The contrast from the top and the shaved sides provides a beautiful canvas for facial hair.

#23: Traditional Line Up
A traditional line up is a type of skin fade that is common amongst ethnic men. It basically includes the razored hair line to maintain either a square or rounded shape. Meanwhile, the actual length of the hair is kept to a minimum.

A heavy gradient skin fade is essentially a type of haircut when the hair is allowed to gradually transition from very dark or thick to a slightly tapered cut. It is very simple and it grows out evenly so it is very low maintenance.

#29: High Top Widows Peak Skin Fade
The high top widow’s peak is a good fit for men who are starting to slightly recede at the hairline. The hair on top is short enough to maintain a neat look and long enough to show off some texture and contrast with the closely clipped sides.

#31: Simple Buzz Cut
This simple buzz cut works on all hair types. It is a quick and easy fix for those men who prefer to keep it simple with their skin fade. It’s also very low maintenance. Because everything is basically kept to the same length, you don’t have to worry about awkward choppiness once it grows out.

#32: Box Top Haircut with Side Part
The box top and round high top hairstyles were a hit trend in the 90’s, and they are making their way back on to the fashion scene! This is awesome for those with afro hair textures. It is the black man’s answer to an upsweep! On top of that, it really makes a bold fashion statement.

#33: Tapered Mini Afro with Side Part and Skin Fade
This is not your traditional skin fade hair cut because only the temples are slightly faded. The rest is a small, well rounded afro with a dashing side part. This looks best on men with wider face shapes but could potentially work on anybody! It’s a crazy cool hairdo.

#34: Sleek Fade with Side Part
The sleek hairdo with a side part is very handsome and does well to suit mature men. It is very polished and put together, while allowing you the freedom to get a little messy. With a good comb and some hair gel, you can rule the world! Or if you wanted to just rock it natural, the hair would fall in a very casual but cute way.

#35: Messy Fade
This messy fade is great for those guys who want a chill, low maintenance hairstyle that still looks nice. For this style, it is good if you have natural straight hair to encourage the spikiness. Ruffle the top of your hair with a product every morning to make sure it has that tousled appearance.
