How it is cut
- Mid burst fades need symmetry because the curved shape is easy to spot from the front.
- The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.
Maintenance tips
- Style the top with height or texture so the mid curve looks balanced.
- Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
- Start styling with matte clay, then add more product only where the top needs control.
