Burst fade, previewed before you commit

Before: selfie prior to the burst fade try-onAfter: burst fade rendered on the same face by Lineup
Real Lineup render: same face, same lighting, only the hair changes.

The burst fade radiates around the ear in a semicircle, leaving the neckline longer. It is the signature of the modern mullet and south-of-France crops, and it pairs with almost any length on top.

It is a bolder choice than a taper, so seeing it on your own head first matters. The image above is a real Lineup render: one selfie in, the burst fade out, identity untouched.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a burst fade and a drop fade?

A burst fade curves AROUND the ear and leaves the back longer; a drop fade arcs DOWN behind the ear and fades the back too. The burst reads rounder and works especially well with mullets and mohawk-adjacent cuts.

Will a burst fade suit my head shape?

The burst exposes the area around your ears and temples, so head shape matters more than with a taper. Rendering it on your own photo shows you the answer in seconds instead of after the cut.

How does the Lineup try-on work?

Upload one selfie, pick a style, and Lineup renders it on your own face in 5-15 seconds with identity-preserving AI: your face, skin tone, and expression stay exactly as they are. Your first render is free.

Is Lineup a subscription?

No. Lineup uses one-time credit packs starting at $2.99: 1 credit = 1 render, credits never expire, and there is no weekly fee, ever. A failed render never costs a credit.
