“How to Get a Professional Fade Haircut”

When you sit in a barber’s chair, it would help if you communicated your desired haircut. Be specific in stating how short or long you want the back and sides to be and the desired length on top.

Fades can be classified as low, mid, or high according to how closely their hair blends with the skin. These styles work particularly well for those with oval, triangle, and heart face structures.

A taper fade haircut has long locks on top and shorter sections around the sides and back. Your stylist cuts these shorter strands to advance towards longer strands gradually, giving this look more style options.

As the taper fades, the high-taper haircut takes an exaggerated approach. It begins above your ears and gradually tapers towards your hairline, providing more distinct line work and eye-catching flair.

The south-side fade haircut is an excellent option for people with wavy or curly locks. It requires regular trimming and styling to maintain its appearance and can draw attention to the chin while making spectacles more visually attractive.

A faux hawk is an edgy hairstyle for guys with medium-length to long hair. It combines an undercut fade with top hair styled into an undulating slanted structure for a striking and rugged appearance.

Line-up fade is a style that adds drama to any hairstyle, creating layers at the neckline, temples, or behind. It involves cutting lines closer to your neckline in any desired pattern. Precision is crucial, so experienced barbers or stylists should do it.

Before beginning the haircut, you should decide on the style and length of the hairline, back, and sides. Speak with your barber about a suitable clipper guard and blending points based on your preferences.
