Low fade provides illusion of higher IPD as sideburns put a frame around the eye area, making it more closed-in and compact. Also this is why bug-eyed ethnics look better with fades compared to medium sides.

Cillian Murphy is a good example, with his bug eyes he suits fade/undercut way more than medium sides. Every one of my female friends prefer him with short sides.

The hair I posted is literally better for appeal
What is this cognitive dissonance? I’m talking about below average eyes and you have the audacity to post that 1st pic.

Its not better for appeal for everyone, it depends. Cillian looks weird as fuck with that kind of hair.

That's not a low fade silly. What you're talking about is a skin/bald fade which is just how close to the skin your fade starts.

A low fade means the barber starts blending at a lower point on your skull/face.

The Cillian Murphy peaky blinders cut is a very aggressive undercut/high fade with zero fading just straight skin.

Concept is the same as in there’s no hair at the sideburn/lower temple

Been getting low fades for years now,
I find in selfies low fades look better than a medium or high skin fade, makes you head look strange as fuck.
Probs lens distortion tho.

But low fades are grown out in 2 weeks literally

Fade are a requirement for sex appeal ngl bro especially if ethnic
Ethnics need to play into a more edgy and 'low class' persona so to speak
You will bend in with the crowd with a fade where I live, my ears are also somewhat big so longer sides look better on me

But messy medium hair is a huge trend with younger girls rn

Suppose it's what your look is, of you are maesthetic, then fade coz messy long hair won't really fit the look (least for me) I had long curly hair in lockdown

Also as u say big ears then fades not something you can rock. Yea it's a trend but u gotta see what suits u best

You’re talking about blending in when ethnics are literally invisible without fades jfl

Go to Birmingham University, ethnics have fades
I believe in you but curls has also became trendy with ethnics especially the young ones that are 16-18 years old.

That’s high school age, different ball game

Thick black sideburns (as an ethnic) make your eyes look more closed-in and compact. I definitely notice the difference

Long hair sides make empty space at sides of eyes less prominent.

Imo if you extremely high class looking like Tyson Ballou or O'Pry you should be getting a fade anyway. The only exception is if you have a big neurocranium, in that case long sides is a must.

A fade makes your face look so much more angular too. I'm currently bloated as fuck but a fade on the sides, even with 5mm of hair on top makes my jaw look a lot better

They also make your hairline look more rounded imo

That empty space opens up the eye area and doesn’t make it look compact.

Just trust me man I know what I’m talking about.

Ethnics can only have medium sides if they have a good eye area (mainly IPD and PFL).

“just trust me” bro cope harder

the point of fades, besides the “gradient” aesthetics, is to help skull shape. Fades make the sides of the head sloped better and make the head not look any wider than it is.

My version of your sentence — people can have medium sides only if their heads aren’t too wide.

That’s not the only point and the type of fade matters. Not as generic as you’re stating. Fact is that sideburns do make the eye area more compact, no denying that

Sideburns make the areas to the sides of the eyes more compact, and that makes the eye area look less cycloptic.

Cope. Visit taban instead if you have bad eye area.
