Question: what is the difference between a skin fade and a fade?
Answer: Not all fades are skin fades though - a fade is just transitioning from one hair length to another so it does not mean that you have to go down to skin to have a fade. ... The skin fade is the most defined fade however as it's very clear to see hair going from bald to say a 0.5 into a 2 at the top of the sides.
