What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • The fade should follow the head shape and avoid cutting too high into curl volume.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Define curls while damp so the drop fade does not look separated from the top.
  • Refresh the fade every 2 to 3 weeks before the shortest area grows blurry.
  • Start styling with curl cream, then add more product only where the top needs control.
