Question: 1 / 400

What is a "skin fade"?

A haircut with long hair on top and very short on the sides

A style where the hair is pulled back and slicked down

A haircut where the hair is gradually faded to the skin level on the sides

A "skin fade" refers to a specific type of haircut characterized by a gradual transition of hair length that ultimately blends down to the skin. In this style, the hair on the sides and back is cut extremely short and fades smoothly into longer hair on the top. The fade creates a seamless look where the shortest hair eventually transitions into the skin. This technique allows for a clean, modern appearance, gaining popularity for its sharp and fresh aesthetic.

The other choices focus on different aspects of haircuts and hair management. One choice describes a haircut with long hair on top and short sides, which might not necessarily incorporate the gradual fade to the skin level; another option talks about slicking hair back, highlighting a styling technique rather than a cut; and the last option refers to removing bulk from the hair, which is a different technique not directly related to the fading process.
