  • Zayn Malik is a man of many hairstyles, but perhaps one of his most famous is his high fade. We got Blind Barber's Julien Howard to recreate it step by step on our not really Zayn-looking test subject.

      @ghost robles no Zayn's hair is naturally straight. I think they choose the wrong hairstyle for the model. His hair is curly & texture is very different than Zayn's. Also this type of hairstyle would look good on people who hv nice hairline like Zayn. Honestly the stylist isn’t very good.

    The haircut came out right. The celebrity doesnt have a fade so thats exactly what the barber gave his client, no fade and textured top.
