What is whats a skin fade?

A skin fade, also known as a zero fade or bald fade, is a type of haircut where the hair on the sides and back is tapered down to the skin. It is a very short and clean cut. The "fade" refers to the gradual transition from the skin to longer hair higher up on the head.

• Key Characteristics:

  • The hair gradually blends from skin at the bottom to a longer length higher up the head.
  • The blend can start at different points, creating variations like a low, mid, or high skin fade.
  • The hair at the very top can be styled in various ways, such as a pompadour, quiff, or left longer and textured.

• Variations:

  • Low Skin Fade: The fade starts low on the head, around the ears.
  • Mid Skin Fade: The fade starts in the middle of the sides and back of the head.
  • High Skin Fade: The fade starts high up on the head, closer to the top.

• How it is achieved: A skin fade is usually achieved using hair clippers with different guard sizes.
