Article: If your client's hair is thick or wavy, buzz the hair with the shortest clipper guard settings at a lower area, preferably below the ears and around the nape of the neck. Low fades show off a hair's texture better and work with the hair's natural pattern. The longer the hair is on top, the lower the fade should be. If you want a cleaner, more buzzed style on the back and sides, go with the lowest clipper guard settings moving up to the temples. Try a high fade for a sleeker look. High fades work well with square or round face shapes because they lengthen the appearance of the face. Choose a pair of clippers with at least 3 guard lengths so you can blend the client's hair as you go. Use clippers on the back, sides, and nape and styling scissors on the top. If you prefer a softer fade, you can also use styling scissors on the back and sides. However, keep in mind that this is an advanced technique, so do not attempt it unless you are very experienced with fades. Do not use household scissors to trim hair, as it can result in a blunt or uneven cut. Keep in mind that you can use clippers near the top of your head too if you like it shorter than {[convert|1|in|cm|abbr=on}}. Damp, clean hair is easier to work with while cutting fades. Wash the person's hair with shampoo, rinse it with water, and air or towel dry it until it is damp. The hair should be somewhat damp, not dripping wet, to make cutting it simpler. The client's hair should not be so wet that it clumps together or you may end up cutting out chunks of it.

What is a summary?
Try a low fade on hair with more texture. Choose a high fade for more contrast. Use a pair of clippers and styling scissors to cut a fade. Wash and dry the hair before cutting it.
