How to cut fade hair at home: see step by step
To do it at home is very simple, you only need to have an adjustable electric hair clipper and a comb. Take a look at the step by step:
1st step: Start by choosing the length you want for the top of your head and how much you want it shortened until you reach the nape of your neck. Comb or brush your hair in the direction it grows to make it easier;
2st step: select the smallest height comb your machine has and fit it into it;
3st step: Trim the top of the head to the desired length. Cut the hair at a slanted back angle or at the same height across the top;
4st step: remove the height comb and adjust the machine to the lowest possible level. Then you start again at the base of the head and trim about two inches from the end of the hair, depending on the size of the head. The process should be repeated over the ears;
5st step: Adjust the trimmer again, this time to a higher cutting level, and trim about 1 cm on top of the previous cut. Then change the trimmer to a medium height and cut again 1 cm higher than before. If you want to give the top a ruffled effect, use standing scissors to fray the top.
