The blowout fade is a men’s short back and sides haircut with a fuller top, which is usually styled to produce a wind-blown look. Sometimes called the Brooklyn Fade, due to its popularity in the New York suburb among the hipster residents, the blowout fade works for both casual and formal looks.
Its hipster based origin also means the blowout fade works well with beards, but due to the very short fade area around the ear to the temple, the look requires a high level of barbering skill to work effectively and give it some real panache.
MHDPro has a range of online barbering courses with a CPD Certificate of Recognition endorsed by VTCT and iTEC. The Men’s Faded and Tapered Collection includes a number of fades for intermediate barbers and hairdressers, which give you the skills to build and adapt the haircuts to suit your individual clients needs and personal style.
The blowout fade haircut, or Brooklyn fade is a popular men’s haircut that incorporates a short back and sides close crop or fade, with longer hair on top. The top of the fade can be slicked and dressed, or more often, is blow dried to give the windswept blowout look. Sometimes called the Brooklyn blowout, due to its popularity in New York’s hipster suburb, this hairstyle has become popular around the world, combining a modern aesthetic with traditional barbering techniques.
MHDPro’s Men’s Tapered and Faded Haircut Collection features a variety of tailored haircuts in this style, from respected barbers including Amsterdam’s New York Barbershop, Shanghai’s Gary Woo and London’s Stelios Chondros.
The collection demonstrates both high and low fades using scissors, clippers and razors with variations of finishes of the longer hair and a tapered neckline. The finished hair can be styled with a range of men’s dressing products for a sophisticated business or evening style, or given a blowout for a more casual street look.

I have been wanting to find a place where you can learn online, and then I found MHDPro. I have learnt so much - from the way you stand to the way the sections are done – it all matters. I love the step by step learning.
You guys are my number one site. No site ever helped me as much. I have a career at a top salon in Montreal all thanks to you. People are on Youtube and taking workshops but MHD is a billion times better.
Once I've mastered a cut or a technique it's mine for life at a price that could not be matched anywhere else. Thank you MHDPro.com. Your value is immeasurable.
I have visited numerous sites in the last few months to assist me with my hairdressing course. MHD is the most informative, easy to follow and interesting site of any of them.
