Tapers and fades always both grow back clean which is another reason we see many opting for this. Essentially it is a combination of a taper haircut and a fade haircut.

Now that we have covered his hair types as well as various styles we have provided instructions on how to achieve his signature hairstyle.
The comb-over is a classic men’s style which is identified with hair on top flowing in one direction left or right, popularised by athletes such as David Beckham.
Here’s what you need to do
- Comb your hair forward and select where you want your side part to sit
- After choosing your side part, brush your hair to the opposite side
- Blow-dry your side part straight down to flatten the side
- Apply reasonable amount of product to give your hair that added finish and shine
You must remember that the combover looks best when sides are shaved and shaped up, therefore ensure a quick visit to the barber before or after to ensure that once the combover is complete it complements the look.
