Barber Fade
The fade is one of the oldest tools available to barbers, helping countless men throughout the century to achieve that classic clean cut look. There’s nothing that looks as immaculately neat and classy as a fresh fade, which is probably why it’s been the finish of choice for elite businessmen, sporting legends and Hollywood’s defining gents.
What Is A Barber Fade?
A fade is a technique which uses an electric razor to blend the hair into the skin along a gradient of light to thick.
The barber fade’s been around for a fair while at this point, and you’ve likely seen it before many times without even realising it. It’s a style that complements the natural angles of most men’s faces, and is a great option for so many types of hair
It’s slightly different to a taper, though the two often get confused. Tapering the hair simply refers to cutting the hair to still be very short, but without the seamless, gradual gradient from skin to hair of a fade cut.
It’s thought to have its roots in 1920s working class English culture, and features quite prominently in TV shows like Netflix’s Peaky Blinders, based in that era. However, it saw a massive spike in popularity post world-war two as it was the haircut of choice for American infantrymen, reflected in the 60s nostalgia of AMC’s Mad Men. Ever since, it’s been the cut of choice for high-powered men looking to combine simplicity with style.
