What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Mid fades show more contrast, so uneven blending is easier to notice.
  • The final shape should be checked from the side, front, and back before the neckline is finished.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Book trims before the mid fade grows into a soft shadow.
  • Book frequent touch-ups every 1 to 2 weeks if you want the edge to stay sharp.
  • Start styling with aftershave balm, then add more product only where the top needs control.
