FADE haircut. I want one, but I’m not exactly sure what to tell my barber.?

I'm 16, and I got what I believe was a bald fade haircut a month ago. The sides were completely shaved, leaving hair only on the top. My hair has now grown back completely, and I want another fade, but not as extreme as a bald fade. I've searched online for terms, but none of them have really helped. In my opinion, a bald fade makes me look a little too young. I just want a more gradual fade with the sides cut more subtly and not shaved all the way down. Is there a specific term for this style, or can you provide examples that might help me communicate what I want to my barber? No sarcasm necessary.

ask him for a #2 fade…the guards for the clippers come by numbers…number 1 being the shortest…2 is just right…for me anyway

Tell your barber that you want a number 2 on the sides and to blend it in with the top. Don’t ask for a bowl cut unless you want to look like Lloyd in Dumb & Dumber.

Yeah just tell him to fade UP to the top of your hair line , tell him to do a 1 on the sides, its really short but not bald.

ask for a dark fade. if that doesn’t work just explain exactly what you want, its your head and your money. the extra time that would take is worth it
