- 1
"I want a drop fade that dips behind the ear."
- 2
"Keep the curve clean and even on both sides."
- 3
"Leave enough weight on top to balance the shape."
How it is cut
- The fade line should follow the occipital shape, not run straight back.
- Works well when you want shape without a very high fade.
Maintenance tips
- Watch the back curve as it grows out.
- A quick neckline cleanup keeps the shape intact.
- Style the top with volume to match the curved fade.
