Taper fades are some of the easiest fades to give. These hair cuts are very popular when people chose to grow their hair out because you aren’t  really cutting much of the top hair at all. This works good for men trying to get a man bun. Their are different types of taper fades tho theirs taper fade where you cut the side hair too or you can juts taper up the c cup and the neck. In order to star a basic fade you need to were your guide lines are gonna be.

After that you start going up from zero closed clipper up too a 3 guard.if you go to high on the fade then it might end up turning out like a low fade. The higher you take you clipper you want to start opening the lever on the side more so you don’t keep cutting the hair on the low side of the clipper. Something that can help you bled the lines out is using the sides of your clipper were you see the line is bold.
