HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
This dynamic style emerged from K-pop and Asian fashion influences in the 2010s, where swept, voluminous styling became a hallmark of male idols. The combination with Western skin fades created a global fusion style popular across cultures. It represents the internationalization of men's grooming trends.
MAINTENANCE
The skin fade needs touch-ups every 2-3 weeks. The swept top requires daily styling with blow dryer and product - about 5-10 minutes. The style looks best when freshly styled and may need touch-ups throughout the day.
