Medium fade.
Start the fade from 0.5 and move up to a 3.
Side part (on your preferred side).

The hair needs to be separated with the desired direction of the side part.
Starting at the top, a central profile section is taken and cut at a 90 degree angle, with the length increasing towards the front.
The remaining sections are cut using the same technique and the crown is connected to the top.
The hair is then dried.
Using a 0.5 guard, the fade starts at the hairline on the back of the head.
The hair is faded up to a number 3 on the clippers.
A clipper over comb technique is used to ensure a there is a seamless blend.
A cut-throat razor is then used to define the front and back hairline.
To finish, channel cutting and deep parallel cutting is used in the top to add softness to the thick and coarse hair.
Use a product with a sheen for a smart look and keep the style in place with a strong hold hairspray.
