What is fading?

Fading is a haircutting technique that creates a gradual transition from short hair to long hair. This can be done on any part of the head, but it is most commonly used on the sides and back. Fades can be customized to create a variety of different looks, from a subtle blend to a sharp contrast.

Types of fades

There are many different types of fades, but the most common are:

• High fade: A high fade starts high on the head, just below the temples. It is often blended into a longer length on top.
• Mid fade: A mid fade starts in the middle of the head, just above the ears. It is often blended into a shorter length on top.
• Low fade: A low fade starts low on the head, just above the neckline. It is often blended into a very short length on top.
• Taper fade: A taper fade is a type of fade that is very gradual. It starts high on the head and gradually blends into a longer length on top.

Techniques for fading

There are two main techniques for fading: clipper over comb and scissor over comb. Clipper over comb is the most common technique, and it is used to create a shorter, more blended fade. Scissor over comb is a more advanced technique, and it is used to create a longer, more natural-looking fade.

Tools for fading

The most important tool for fading is a good pair of clippers. Clippers come in a variety of sizes and styles, so it is important to choose a pair that is right for you. Other tools that can be helpful for fading include:

• Combs
• Scissors
• Clipper guards
• Neck duster

How to fade

Fading is a skill that takes practice to master. However, with the right tools and techniques, you can learn how to fade like a pro. Here are the basic steps on how to fade:

1. Choose the right clipper guard. The size of the clipper guard will determine the length of the fade. For a shorter fade, use a smaller clipper guard. For a longer fade, use a larger clipper guard. 2. Start by fading the sides. Hold the clippers against the side of the head, and move them in a downward motion. Be sure to overlap your strokes to avoid creating lines. 3. Fade the back of the head. Use the same technique to fade the back of the head. 4. Blend the fade. Once you have faded the sides and back of the head, use a comb to blend the fade. This will help to create a smooth, natural-looking transition from short hair to long hair. 5. Check your work. Once you have finished fading, check your work in a mirror. Make sure that the fade is even and that there are no lines.

Tips for fading

• Use a sharp pair of clippers.
• Overlap your strokes to avoid creating lines.
• Blend the fade with a comb.
• Check your work in a mirror.
• Practice makes perfect.
