I'm genuinely interested because I think wave communities don't discuss this enough.
For example, having a haircut while training waves might be quite stressful. Finding a barber who truly comprehends the wave pattern, knows how to avoid messing up your crown, and cuts with the grain rather than against it is essential. If you make a mistake, your progress will be reversed.
For the guys here who are making waves: How frequently do you get cuts? Do you stretch it out to safeguard your progress, or do you go more often to maintain the shape?
Do you always walk your barber through exactly what you need, or do you let them work at their own pace?

I've been working hard lately and wanted to share this one with the community. I'm rather pleased with the fade's outcome. The client requested a sharp lineup and a clean taper. I spent more time on the detail work around the hairline and went in with my clippers on the sides, blending down to the skin. The above sentence says it all, haha. I'm constantly learning and would be interested in hearing other barbers' methods for blending. What is your preferred technique for achieving a smooth fade? Lately, I’ve also been trying to be more intentional with how I take clients and keep track of my cuts. It’s helped me slow down and focus more on precision instead of rushing through sessions.
