How To Do A Fade Haircut?

While they may look easy enough to master, a fade haircut is fairly difficult for the novice to create. For starters, you’ll want the right tools for the job. You’ll need a pair of clippers, random guards, a clipper comb, and a blending brush.

After determining the look of the fade, you’ll begin cutting the hair at its shortest at the nape of the neck. From there, you will increase the guard size and continue cutting, gradually leaving the longest of the hair at the temples. Using a blending brush you can push the hair down and up to make sure every piece gets blended and cut to the correct length as you work. After you’ve finished the back and the sides, a clipper comb should be used to blend the top down to the sides effortlessly.
