Skin Fade - The Perfect Transition from Skin to Hair

Skin Fades originated in the US military around 1940. It is still a hugely popular choice of haircut, a trend that probably isn't going away anytime soon!

So, What is a Skin Fade?

A Skin Fade is a haircut where the hair is faded down to the skin. It's a classic look and suits almost all hair types. Due to the popularity of this type of haircut and the impact of social media, we now see different names for different kinds of fades, such as Low Fade, High Fade and Taper Fade. They are all simply a smooth transition from very short to longer hair, and they don't necessarily need to be severe.

How Long will a Skin Fade Last?

If you're looking to keep your skin fade ultra-fresh, you will probably need the back and sides cut every couple of weeks. But if you don't mind it growing out a bit longer, you could wait around four weeks.

So, if you're looking for the best skin fade haircut, look no further. Not sure what type of skin fade you're looking for?
