To control the edginess of contrast between the sides and top, you can choose between high, mid, or low skin fade. Generally, the haircut is not the ideal for elongated faces as the long, and high-styled in many cases, top adds extra length to the face. On the other hand, it is suitable for gentlemen with square faces, for the absence of the side hair lessens the emphasis on the sides of the face.
