loooooooowwwwww taperfade

A low taper fade is a hairstyle that features a gradual transition from short hair at the nape of the neck and around the ears to noticeably longer hair at the top. The look is created using clippers that gradually "fade" the hair from one length to another, hence the name taper fade. The term "low" refers to the low point on the head where this fade begins- typically starting an inch or two above the ear, extending around the back of the head. The hair atop the head is usually left in a significantly greater length, which can be tailored to individual preferences. The style can be worn neat and polished or can be manipulated to create a more edgy, disheveled look.
