What characterizes a 'fade' haircut?

Hair is cut in sharp layers
Hair gradually shortens from the top to the sides and back
Uniform length throughout
Long hair in the front and short in the back

The correct answer is: Hair gradually shortens from the top to the sides and back

A 'fade' haircut is characterized by hair that gradually shortens from the top to the sides and back. This technique creates a seamless transition between different lengths, giving a soft and blended look. The fading effect can vary in how high or low it starts, and it typically involves blending the hair to create a subtle gradient rather than an abrupt change. This style is popular because it adds dimension while maintaining a clean and stylish appearance. The other options describe different haircut styles, but they do not capture the unique gradual progression in length that defines a fade.
