Complete guide to the classic High Top Fade

Step 1: Part the top hair at the temples into a horseshoe-shaped line.

Step 2: Shorten the hair in the neck area using the comb technique towards the parietal part of the head. Using the same technique, create a guide line at the top of the head using the Cordless Magic Clip and an open set of blades. Then, using the 4.5mm and 3mm lifts and alternating between an open and closed set of blades, gently blend the upward transition from short hair onto the neck and back of the head.

Step 3: Divide the top area into two sections. Cut the hair at the top of the head evenly at a 90° angle. Next, go to the back of the head and define point A as the longest point to prevent the angle at the top of the head from being too flat. Define this point as a guideline to join the length of your hair to the length at the top of your head. Work the entire top using the point cutting technique and the Cordless Magic Clip .

Step 4: Once again create a center parting at the top of your head and comb the top part of your hair evenly downwards. Trim the lengths of the hair at the sides and make sure the flow of the hair is stretched towards the front at a 30° angle to create a harmonious overall look afterwards.

Step 5: Using the slicing technique, cut out the uneven areas at the top of the head.

Step 6: Then clean the lower neck area and contour with WAHL Finale . For finishing, blow dry your hair and accentuate it with the correct styling product for your respective hair type.
