Skin Fade: A Timeless Haircut Evolving Through Decades
The skin fade, a classic haircut with a rich history, has evolved over decades, influencing various hairstyles and cultures. This style, which starts from the skin, has been embraced by celebrities and has seen spikes in popularity recently.
The skin fade's origins date back to the '40s and '50s among U.S. army personnel due to strict military grooming standards. It later became popular in rap culture in the '70s and '80s, incorporated into afro hairstyles and Jheri curls by artists like Doug E Fresh and Schoolly D. Today, it offers different styles like high, medium, and low fades, which work best with specific hairstyles on top.
To maintain a traditional short back and sides look, the hair on top should be cropped to connect with the fade. Despite its long history stretching almost nine decades, the skin fade continues to be a popular choice among prominent personalities in sports, music, and film, with notable increases in popularity around the mid-2010s to present.
The skin fade haircut, with its roots in military grooming and evolution through various cultures, offers a timeless and versatile look. Its popularity, as seen among celebrities, underscores its enduring appeal and adaptability to different hairstyles.
