Styling and care tips

Creating a fade style on afro hair requires precision and skill. Here is a step-by-step guide:

  1. Washing and preparing:

    • Start with freshly washed hair. Afro hair should be clean and free of styling products.
  2. Provide tools and products:

    • You will need hair clippers with different attachments, a comb, hair cutting scissors, a mirror and hair oil.
  3. Determine hair length:

    • Think about how long you want the top part of the thread to be and mark that area.
  4. Preparing for the transition:

    • Use the longest attachment size (e.g., 3-5 mm) and cut the area below the marked area evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. Create hair contour:

    • With hair cutting scissors you can precisely cut the contour of the upper part of the hair.
  7. Complete and maintain:

    • Use hair oil to nourish the hair and add shine. Check your work in the mirror for evenness.
  8. 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.
