Hello Jae whats good with you? Most Barbers do start out making a line then fade it out but I have notice doing that leaves a line in the head and it takes longer. What I do on most of my fades depending on the length the person wants on top, I do the whole head like that at first like a brush cut them work my way down for example if they want a 1 1/2 on top and skin on the sides I start the whole head with a 1 1/2 then I go to the sides and work my way down with the blades 1a 1 0a 000 until it blends thats it. It is a lot faster too.
