    The end of the fade is typically going to be 0, which is skin. So you may start with like a 2, then move to like a 1.5, then a 1, and a 0.5. This will give you that nice seamless fade.

    Start with a higher number of guard size, like a 3. Then, go down 1 size as you work your way down from the crown of the head. Go down 1 size for each layer of the fade.

    Depending on length, hold hair, wet or washed, firmly between fingers without too much tension. Regulate the tension by combing hair with the widest-toothed comb you have. Starting at back, comb the hair into sections, noting how the hair recoils after it snaps back. With that in mind, grip the hair firmly between index and middle finger along hair section to approximately where the hair should be cut, then cut the hair above your fingers, starting at crown and working your way outward.

    The best way to ensure an even fade is to work carefully and slowly. Depending on the hair and your level of experience, cutting a fade can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours.
