How do you get a mid fade?

To get a mid faded haircut, you need to ask your barber for it. They will then do the following:

1. Damp your hair with water.

2. Separate the hair on top and secure it with a hair clip to take out of the way.

3. Using hair clippers with the #3 guard, trim the hair on the back and sides, moving the clippers upward.

4. When getting to the line of the fade, run the clippers along it from side to side.

5. Switch to a smaller guard, such as #2 and trim the hair, starting from the bottom of the hairline and moving upright. Though, it is important to indent from the top a couple of inches.

6. For a smoother transition, put on an even smaller guard size, like #1, and trim the hair along the hairline.

7. Use the method of clippers over the comb to remove any sticking out hairs.

8. Cut the hair on top in the desired way.

9. Create a sharp outline with the help of the trimmer or razor.

What is the difference between a mid fade and a low fade?

With a low fade, you start tapering the hair near your hairline. A mid fade suggests beginning to taper the hair from the middle of the head.

Where does a mid fade start?

A medium fade haircut starts somewhere in the ear and temple area.
