What is the difference between fade and taper haircut
A fade goes from hair to skin. A taper goes from hair to shorter hair. High means it starts near the crown of your head, low means just above the ears.
A fade goes from hair down to the skin.
A taper is hair that gets shorter the further down you go.
A high taper/high skin fade is near the corners of your hairline, and a low taper/low fade is near the ear arches.
