"The hard part, in barber terms, is a shaved line on the side of your head that separates two—usually different—hair lengths," Georgopoulos explains. "The hard part can be a great addition to any traditional or non-traditional style, but it must be executed well by your barber."

One of the most popular styles emerging in this age is the 'Hard Part'. This is also known as a razor part and is a clean line shaved down to the scalp with a trimmer or razor. The hard part is traditionally worn on the side and can be incorporated into a wide variety of hairstyles.

A hard part with a fade is one of the most popular men's haircuts and continues to be a style staple of the last decade. A sharp hard part fading down is classic, contemporary and will leave you looking polished and chic.
