A bald fade, also known as a skin fade, is a haircut that gradually fades the hair from the skin up to the desired length. The haircut creates a clean and modern look that is perfect for men who want a low-maintenance style. The bald fade is done with clippers or a straight razor, depending on your preferences and hair type. The bald fade haircut can also combine with other styles, such as a crew cut, a buzz cut, or a textured top.

Keeping a bald fade haircut fresh typically requires regular maintenance every 1-2 weeks, depending on how quickly your hair and fade quickly grows out. Since a bald fade is a shorter style that blends seamlessly into the skin, even slight hair growth can cause the fade to lose its sharp and clean look.
