Undoubtedly, burst fade haircuts are some of the trendiest and most fashionable haircuts for men in 2020. The burst fade haircut often looks great when combined with a Mohawk haircut, and it is created by merging the taper down the nape and around the ear.

In most cases, the burst fade is rounded and coiled at the back and along the sides, making it an ideal variation of fade for the Mohawk. The burst fade resembles the drop fade, but the key difference is that, in burst fade, the focus is on the edge of the hairline. With myriad variations of burst fade hairstyles, you can rock it with virtually all the best haircuts for men.

Some of the amazing haircuts you can wear with the burst fade hairstyle are: Mohawk fade, comb over, flat top, quaff, fohawk, and pompadour. Also note that though the burst fade haircut was traditionally meant for black guys, white men can still rock it and look trendy with their mid-length to long hair, or even with their short hair.

We have collected some of the trendiest burst fade hairstyles for men in 2020. Whether you are looking for a short fade, mid fade haircut, or a high burst fade, these hairstyles will motivate you to give this unique look a shot! Take a peek.
