Drop fade, seen on you before the cut
The drop fade follows the natural curve of your head, "dropping" lower behind the ear than a straight fade line. The result is a rounded, sculpted profile that flatters most head shapes.
It has become the default recommendation when someone asks for "a fade but modern". Above: a real Lineup render on a real selfie, with the face and skin tone pinned.

Who does a drop fade suit best?
Drop fades flatter rounder head shapes because the curve hugs the skull, adding definition. If you are unsure, previewing the cut on your own photo answers it faster than any face-shape chart.
How do I ask my barber for a drop fade?
Say "drop fade, following the curve behind the ear" and specify how short to start (skin, 0.5, or 1). Bring the render of your own face so there is nothing to interpret.
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.
