The temple fade haircut has short sides and a long top. One of the most well known people with this hairstyle is DJ Pauly D.

The temple fade, also known as a Brooklyn fade, taper fade, and blowout, is a haircut that first gained popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s in African American, Italian American, and Hispanic American barbershops as a variation of the bald fade, originating primarily in the Northeastern United States, particularly in New York City and especially Brooklyn.

Overview[edit]

The hair is tapered from the scalp to 1 cm (0.4 in) in length from the edge of the hairline up 2 cm (0.8 in). The rest of the hair is left the same length, usually 2–5 cm (0.8–2.0 in), depending on the preference of the client.

The hairstyle's origins emerged alongside New York barber's Shape-Up , edge up, or line up hair style worn by inner city youth and hip hop artists in the early 1980s.

It was trendy mainly in the larger metropolitan areas of the Eastern United States, such as New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Providence, Rhode Island, Chicago, Illinois, Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan.

Today it is seen as a staple hairstyle amongst African Americans, and is a popular hairstyle amongst Italian Americans, South Asian Americans, Arab Americans and Mexican Americans and in the American Hip hop, Pop music and House Music subcultures; as well as internationally in countries such as the UK, France, Germany and Spain.[citation needed]
