Temple fade, tried on your face

Real Lineup render: same face, same lighting, only the hair changes.

The temple fade, also called a Brooklyn fade or blowout fade, tapers the hair to skin at the temples and around the hairline while leaving the length on top alone. It is the sharpest way to clean up a hairline without committing to a full fade.

Because it only touches the corners and edges, it grows out cleanly and works with waves, curls, and coils. The image above is a real render from Lineup on an unedited selfie.

Questions people ask

Temple fade vs taper fade: what is the difference?

A temple fade is focused on the corners of the hairline and the temples. A taper fade blends the entire side of the head from the top down. The temple fade is the subtler of the two.

Will a temple fade suit my hairline?

It is especially good for sharpening a soft or uneven hairline, and it is a staple for textured hair. Seeing it on your own hairline first tells you more than any reference photo of someone else.

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?
