HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
This specialized technique emerged from master barbers who recognized that head shapes vary significantly and standard fades don't work for everyone. The approach represents the evolution from one-size-fits-all barbering to personalized cutting that considers individual anatomy. It showcases the difference between a good barber and a great one.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance follows the same 2-3 week schedule as standard low fades. The key is returning to the same barber who understands your head shape. Avoid switching barbers frequently as the technique requires familiarity with your specific contours.
