Step 1: Start With the Sides

Start with the manes on the sides. First, you need to determine the type of fade that you need. A high skin fade is suave and rebellious, and if you choose it, you should begin by buzzing the hair on the sides by using only blades on your trimmer. If you need a taper, use number 1 around the ears and along the neckline.

Step 2: Graduate the Hair on the Sides

The rule of thumb is that the manes should get gradually shorter as you move from the top of your head downwards to the ears and around the nape. To achieve this, increase the size of the guard as you gradually shave the hair up the head. Note that the transition from one hair length to the other should be natural and seamless.

Step 3: Trimming the Hair on Top

You should leave comparatively longer hair on top compared to the sides. For a classic crew haircut, utilize 1″ clipper size. For a long crew haircut, you should use a scissor. Otherwise, you can decide on how long you want to keep the hair on top.

Step 4: Styling the Locks on Top

There are myriad ways you can style the hair on top. For instance, you can opt for a swept-look, spiked look, short fringe, or just style it flat.
