The Mid Fade
Description:

Key Techniques Covered:
Guard selection and smooth transitions.
Clipper-over-comb for blending dark spots.
Edge work and hairline precision.
Styling top options for different textures.
Style & Care:
At home, clients should:
Maintain fade edges with a trimmer touch-up.

Wash every 2–3 days to avoid buildup and keep the fade fresh.
