Mid Fade
A fade that starts halfway up — sharper than a taper, easier than a skin fade.
The fade begins around the temples and blends up into the top. It slims the sides of the head, so a round face looks longer, and it is excellent on curly and coily hair where the contrast with a fuller top looks deliberate.
