Temp Fade

A temple-focused fade that sharpens the front corners without removing as much side hair as a full fade.

Texture labels organize the catalogue; they are not a suitability prediction.

What the catalogue description is trying to show

  • Temp fades are ideal when you want a clean front shape and less side exposure.
  • Works especially well with curls, coils, and short textured tops.

Upkeep and styling considerations

  • Refresh the temple area every 2 to 3 weeks.
  • Keep product away from freshly lined edges.
  • Brush or sponge the top before defining the perimeter.
