Wednesday in the blog is Andis clipper cutting vocabulary day.
F is for Fade
Fade is a term somewhat interchangeable with "taper". Fade is typically used in the textured market. Fading does not have to be limited to the perimeter of a clipper cut style. A fade can occur higher up the head at the crestline or beyond as well. A fade is characterized by a look that is higher and shorter with a lighter overall finish. The best phrase to use to describe a fade is a "seamless, progressive transition of lengths in a clippered style". How is that? Be on the lookout for a fade video from Andis and me coming to YouTube really soon.
Here is the Andis FadeMaster clipper:

Here is a fun video on YouTube of a guy cutting a fade on himself... not easy as many a barber can not cut a good one on another's head much less do their own...
