How it is cut

  • Buzz cuts show head shape, so the fade should be balanced from every angle.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Maintenance tips

  • Moisturize the scalp and brush the top so the short cut looks even.
  • Book frequent touch-ups every 1 to 2 weeks if you want the edge to stay sharp.
  • Start styling with aftershave balm, then add more product only where the top needs control.
