Creating a fade style on afro hair requires precision and skill. Here is a step-by-step guide:
-
Washing and preparing:
- Start with freshly washed hair. Afro hair should be clean and free of styling products.
-
Provide tools and products:
- You will need hair clippers with different attachments, a comb, hair cutting scissors, a mirror and hair oil.
-
Determine hair length:
- Think about how long you want the top part of the thread to be and mark that area.
-
Preparing for the transition:
- Use the longest attachment size (e.g., 3-5 mm) and cut the area below the marked area evenly.
-
Create the transition:
- Switch to shorter attachments (eg, 1-2mm) and cut upwards in a graduated pattern to create the transition. Work carefully to avoid harsh lines.
-
Create hair contour:
- With hair cutting scissors you can precisely cut the contour of the upper part of the hair.
-
Complete and maintain:
- Use hair oil to nourish the hair and add shine. Check your work in the mirror for evenness.
-
Regular care:
- To maintain the fade style, regular trimming is necessary.
It is important to note that cutting afro hair with a fade style requires special skills, so if you are unsure, I recommend visiting an experienced hairdresser to achieve the desired result.
