TIPS & GAME.
Real chair-side knowledge. Cut maintenance, beard care, products that actually work.
How long should a fade actually last?
Fades start losing their crisp edge after 10–14 days. Book a line-up at 2 weeks and a full re-cut at 4 to keep it sharp.
Pomade vs. wax vs. clay — pick right
Pomade for shine + flow. Clay for matte texture and lift. Wax for definition. Apply to towel-dry hair, not soaking wet.
Beard oil isn't optional
A few drops daily softens the hair, kills beard itch and stops flakes. Massage to the skin, not just the bristles.
Wash less. Condition more.
Stripping your scalp daily wrecks your natural oils. Shampoo 2–3x a week, condition every wash.
Show up clean. Show up early.
Wash before you sit down. Arrive 5 mins early. Bring a reference pic — not vibes.
The 'grow it out' phase — survive it
Months 2–4 are awkward. Keep weight off the sides with regular tapers so the top can catch up.
