Temp Fade Hairstyle for men

A temple fade (temp fade) where only the temple area and sideburns are faded short, leaving the rest of the sides and back at a medium length. The fade is localized to the temples, creating a clean, precise look around the ears and hairline. The top is 3-4 inches with a natural side part. The temple area blends from skin to the natural hair length in a small, concentrated area. A subtle, professional fade that's clean without being dramatic.
