A combo style — protective braids or twists on top with a drop fade on the sides that curves behind the ear. The fade frames the styled top dramatically.
Tell your barber
“I'd like braids or twists on top with a drop fade — keep the top in twists or braids, and do a drop fade that curves down behind the ear. Clean shape-up at the hairline. I want the contrast between the styled top and the faded sides.”
