A well-done fade combines everything together so the hair system just looks like your hair. It creates a sharp, stylish finish while ensuring the hair replacement system looks natural and refined.

The technique is particularly effective in blending the base of the low fade hair system or the sides of a high fade with toupee, making the attachment lines nearly invisible.
Choosing between a low, medium, or high fade comes down to personal style. A low fade hair system offers a sophisticated look with a gentle taper around the ears. The mid-fade hairpiece creates a perfect balance, offering a style without being too bold.
