A fade cut is a popular hairstyle characterized by a gradual transition from short hair to longer hair. This technique involves blending the hair on the sides and back of the head, creating a smooth gradient. Fade cuts can vary in length and style, from a low fade that starts near the ears to a high fade that begins closer to the crown. Fade cuts are versatile and can be combined with various hairstyles on top, such as crew cuts or pompadours. They are commonly seen in barbershops and are favored by many for their clean and modern appearance.
