A curly hair fade is a style of fade that bears some resemblance to the undercut but is trimmed short and tapered. It’s common knowledge that curls can be more challenging to manage, so maintaining short and tight hair on the sides of the head ensures easier upkeep for individuals with curly hair.
Texture and volume are the standout features that a curly mane typically showcases, and additionally, curly hair fades create a striking contrast with the hair on top, accentuating the definition of your curls to a whole new level!
Hollywood actors George Clooney’s wavy locks and Adrian Grenier’s curls serve as prime examples of how appealing a fade for curly hair can be.
The primary objective is to keep the hair on the sides short and neat, so regular visits to the barber are essential if you wish to preserve a polished appearance. Styling products for hold and definition can also assist in keeping your hairstyle looking sophisticated.
