Hair styling can be done either backwards or to the side. And you can also create a little mess on the crown. In any case, it will all look beautiful.

• Medium fade more suitable for reserved and brutal men.The hair on the back of the head and on the temples is cut very short. A smooth transition is made just above the ears. Long hair remains only on the crown.

• "Fade" high represents a hairstyle that stands out among others with a sharp transition. The difference between short and long hair is very noticeable. The nape of the head and temples are cut almost to zero, but at the crown they are left long.

• Fade elongated this year is at the peak of popularity. Hair is cut to zero both at the temples and at the back of the head. They are also short at the top of the head. You can style your hair in completely different ways.

• "Fade" short most often, athletes or men who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd allow themselves.

• "Fade" under the scissors performed, as the name implies, with scissors, not a typewriter. Entrusting such work is worth only to the masters of their craft.

• "Fade" with a parting suitable for men with medium length hair.

• "Fade" with a beard are chosen by brave brutal guys. To create such a haircut, you need to make a smooth transition from the beginning of the temple and straight to the beard.

Before you start cutting, you need to prepare your hair. That is, they need to be washed well or simply moistened a little. Besides, it is necessary to designate which part of the head will be cut short, and where the hair will remain long.

You need to determine for yourself what tools you need. If earlier only ordinary scissors were used to cut hair, today experts resort to using a hair clipper. When buying such a tool, you need to pay attention to its quality, as well as to whether the kit contains the necessary attachments. After all, each of them is intended for cutting different parts of the head:

1. for the temples and the back of the head, nozzle number 2 is suitable;
2. the crown needs to be cut with attachment number 3;
3. but the neck needs to be shaved using the No.1 attachment.

When all the tools are prepared, you can start the haircut itself. The haircut scheme is extremely simple.

There must be a transition. Here, each person has their own preferences, so they can start in different places. If this is a classic "fade", then the transition begins right behind the ears, the hair is shortened at the neck.

In that case, if a man's hair is thin in some places, the transition must be made exactly where their structure begins to change... If the guy has a whiff, the transition must be made either a little higher or lower.

In any case, the clipper must be moved strictly vertically. Shave the hair against the direction of its growth. It is best to start at the temples; then you need to move to the back of the head. If the hair on the top of the head will be left long, it must be fastened with hairpins so that they do not interfere with the haircut. The car must be driven not only up but also down to shave off all excess hair.

In addition, you also need to move the car along the transition line. Do not turn it over to a horizontal position, you need to continue to hold it upright. In order for the transition to be smoother, the clipper must be held at a 45 degree angle. That is, only part of the machine should touch the head.

Shave your hair in small pieces. If there are irregularities, then the machine must be pressed down more strongly. In order to remove the hair behind the ears, it must be held slightly at an angle. You need to start work from the place where the ear connects to the head, and then move up.

First you need to use the largest attachment or scissors if the hair at the end needs to remain long. After the desired length has been removed from the crown, you need to change the nozzle, and then you can continue to work on the transition. It is necessary to move from the bottom up. To create a smooth transition, you need to determine the place where the length changes. The choice is up to the client, but the line should be at ear level, not above it. All transitions should be invisible. You cannot proceed to the next transition without completing the previous one.

As a result, with the help of a trimmer, you need to make an edging, that is, remove all remaining hair in the neck area, as well as above the ears. For the first time, it will be very difficult to make such a hairstyle perfect, especially if the haircut is done at home. Therefore, it is best to turn to professionals who will cope with the task not only quickly, but also efficiently.

Since the fade hairstyle has many varieties, you can style your hair in different ways. However, in order for a man to be able to do this on his own, it is necessary to contact the master in time to make a correction.

Besides, you need to buy only high-quality shampoos, as well as hair fixing products... It is imperative to periodically engage in their health improvement. That is, make masks for the head on time, as well as use balms.

Before any styling, you need to wash your hair with your favorite shampoo, apply hair balm, and only then start the process itself.

• If the haircut is done in the classic way, it is necessary to comb the slightly damp hair back. In this case, they need to apply a fixing agent made on the basis of wax.

• In the event that this low fade, slightly damp hair should be combed to the side or also back. For fixation, you can use wax or strong fixing gel.

• If a man chose a haircut medium fadeYou can use lipstick to make your hair shine. Styling can be done in different ways - it all depends on the length of the strands at the crown.

• High fade. There is no need to select individual strands, so it is best to use a paste for fixing. In this way, the hairstyle will look natural, and the hair will not appear stuck together, as when applying a gel.

• For extended fade there are many styling methods. Hair can be brushed back and forth. You can also make an asymmetrical parting. To preserve volume, as well as to add shine to the haircut, you can use hair pomade.

• If "Fade" is made under scissors, it is best to simply comb your hair back. They can be fixed with either mousse or gel.
