Just for once hair this out. It’s Au revoir! to the ol' bangs, spikes, buzzcuts and pixies as the new range of fade cuts pave their way into the scene. A fade haircut is a style where the hair gradually decreases in length from the top of the head down the sides and back, often blending into the skin, giving a sharper look.
The fade-cut frenzy has swept across heartthrobs like Hrithik Roshan, Virat Kohli, Ranbir Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, and Hardik Pandya. Hollywood hotties like David Beckham, Miley Cyrus, and Zayn Malik aren’t the ones to miss the ‘cut’. The fade cut isn’t flying solo; it’s rolling with a pack of over 12 sub haircuts, making hairstylists snip and snap their mental calculators to avoid a ‘barbaric’ experience.
The fade haircut originated in the US military during the 1940s and 1950s, valued for its practicality and ease of maintenance in the field. With the military’s stringent grooming standards, fade cuts proved to be the ideal sleek, clean, and low-maintenance choice for servicemen. Fade cuts are distinguished by long hair in the front and its decreasing lengths down the sides and back which gradually transitions or tapers until it almost blends in with your skin.
The best part about fade cuts is they can be tailored with the innovation in texturing and personalising detailing. The hairstyle allows for unending experimentation according to the head shape and face characteristics of a person and highlights facial features. Jitendra Arvind Bagt.
