Skin fade. Derbyshire customers might have heard this term, but not be familiar with it. Here we will discuss what a skin fade actually is, the history of a skin fade, the variety of styles available in a skin fade and where to get a skin fade Derbyshire customers can trust.
Firstly, what exactly is a skin fade?
A skin fade is a type of hair cut that tapers on the sides and back, cutting the hair shorter and shorter as it moves towards the neck, often right down to the skin, hence the term skin fade. Derbyshire customers might be interested to know that the skin fade style of hair cut has a longer history that you might expect. Although a modern and fresh style, it was originally wore by some in the US military in the 1940s and 1950s. This style continued throughout the years and then was popularised by celebrities in the 1990s. Today the style has become more and more fashionable and with such a variety of styles possible with a skin fade, it is a popular choice for many.
What styles are possible with a skin fade?
A skin fade is such a versatile hair cut as it can be easily combined with almost any other hairstyle. Here we will list just a few of the possible variations.
• High Fade – This is the highest of all the types of fade. It can almost reach the crown of the head before transitioning into the longer length of hair and therefore offers contrast for an edgy style.
• Mid Fade – This is a fade that starts approximately halfway up the head and it is a great compromise between the high and low fade. The mid fade is softer and more gradual and can even make the head appear longer. You can make the mid fade more aggressive by adding a skin fade for a clean finish.
• Low Fade – This fade would start around a third of the way up the head and the skin fade would be very low. The low fade skin fade is very trendy and timeless and can be added to any type of men’s hairstyle to add a clean cut finish.
• Taper Fade – This is a very subtle fade that is the least harsh of all the fade types. It is a timeless classic way of blending your hair down the sides and the back. A skin fade can be added around the neckline or the sideburns for a sharp and neat style.
