A "long hair fade sides" is a hairstyle characterized by long hair on top that gradually becomes shorter on the sides. This style is often paired with a fade haircut, which involves tapering the hair from short to long from the bottom of the head to the top.
The long hair fade sides style is popular because it allows for a variety of looks. It can be worn sleek and formal or messy and casual. It is also a relatively low-maintenance style, as the hair can be styled in a variety of ways.
