What it is
Cut down to a velvet-short length across the whole top, this one runs a bald fade that climbs high and clears the entire side of the head before it meets the crown. The blend is stretched long so the shadow builds gradually from bare skin to the buzzed length with no visible step. A squared line-up cuts the front hairline flat, and the temple line is dropped straight down to a fine sideburn point.
Who it suits
Works for wavy or coily hair thick enough to hold color at very short length. The high bald line strips bulk from the sides, which suits fuller faces and anyone wanting a sharp military-clean look. Simple to wear day to day, though it demands regular visits, since a bald fade shows growth quickly.
How to ask for it
Ask for a high bald fade, skin taken up past the top of the ear with a long stretched blend into a half guard on top. Request the front hairline squared off, temples dropped straight, and the sideburn taken to a point. Nape cleared to skin.
Upkeep
Best inside seven to ten days, since a bald line grows in fast and blurs. Moisturize the faded skin daily so it does not flake or look ashy. Towel dry only; no styling product is required.
