What Is The Mid Fade Haircut?

Mid fade is also known as medium fade. To get this cut, the first guideline is created as a straight line at the temple area level (One or two inches above the ear), and the part under this guideline is shaved completely with a shaver. The hairstylist grabs a hair clipper with a one and a half guard and tapers your hair above the first guideline. In this way, the second guideline is determined. Finally, the barber cut gradually between these two guidelines to achieve a fading effect.

When it comes to mid fade, there is a gradual and smooth transition between the hair on the sides and back. Also, the hair is blended together and tapering from top to bottom. The mid fade haircut is right between low fade and high fade. Fade starts higher than low fade.
