How it is cut

  • The taper should clean the outline without making the sides look overly exposed.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Maintenance tips

  • Brush the top daily so short growth lies evenly.
  • Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
  • Start styling with soft brush, then add more product only where the top needs control.
