- 1
"I want a mid drop fade."

"Place the drop around mid height and keep the back curve even."

"Keep enough length above the fade so the shape does not look hollow."
- 4
"Keep the blend clean and adjust the finish for my hair texture."
How it is cut
- The mid drop line should follow the head shape rather than forming a straight band.
- The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.
Maintenance tips
- Use controlled volume on top so the curved fade has balance.
- 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.
