You’ve just left Iced Out Barbershop with the freshest fade in Las Vegas. Now, how do you maintain that crisp look until your next appointment? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with these expert tips and tricks for at-home fade care.

1. Wash Your Hair Regularly, But Not Too Often

A clean scalp is essential for a fresh fade. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a gentle shampoo and conditioner to remove product buildup and excess oils. Overwashing can strip your hair of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

2. Invest in the Right Tools

• Wide-Tooth Comb: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair without disrupting the fade.
• Soft Bristle Brush: A soft bristle brush helps to distribute natural oils and keep your hair looking smooth.
• Edge Control/Pomade: Use a small amount of edge control or pomade to keep your hairline neat and tidy.

3. Moisturize Your Scalp

A dry scalp can lead to flakiness and itchiness, which can detract from your fresh fade. Use a light oil or moisturizer to keep your scalp hydrated, especially during the dry Las Vegas months.

4. Touch Up Your Edges at Home (If You’re Confident)

If you’re comfortable with using clippers or a trimmer, you can lightly touch up your edges between barber visits. Be careful not to cut too much hair, as this can ruin the fade. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to leave it to the professionals.

5. Avoid Tight Hats or Headwear

Tight hats and headwear can rub against your hair and cause friction, leading to frizz and messing up your fade. If you must wear a hat, choose a loose-fitting style made from breathable material.

6. Sleep on a Satin or Silk Pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can cause friction, leading to hair breakage and messing up your fade. Switch to a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your hair looking smooth.

7. Schedule Regular Barber Visits

The most important tip for maintaining your fade is to schedule regular appointments with your barber. At Iced Out Barbershop, we recommend getting a touch-up every 2-3 weeks to keep your fade looking its best.

Bonus Tip: If you’re unsure about any aspect of fade maintenance, don’t hesitate to ask your barber for advice. We’re always happy to help our clients look and feel their best.
