A side part and a mid fade are two popular hairstyles for men. The side part can be deep or short. A mid fade can be messy or polished. The style can be worn on any hair type. The best way to pull off a side part is to leave it long on the top and to add a mock side part to emphasize the faded sides. This hairstyle is also very versatile and works well on guys with fair skin or hair color.
A mid fade is the most popular fade haircut for men. The mid part is a side part that starts from the temples and gradually tapers back to the front. It also has a soft, wavy look and can be managed easily. The hair on top remains undisturbed. Its low cut keeps it classier than a straight hairstyle, but the side part is easy to style.
A side part can be achieved using a variety of techniques. A slick finish can be obtained with a blade-on-skin method. A low fade can be made with scissors or a hair clipper. A high fade is achieved using a comb. The hairstyle is more formal and is appropriate for the office setting. The downside to a side part is the effort and maintenance it requires.
