фейд — a haircut in which hair gradually changes from very short to longer

B2Rarely
S

Stufenschnitt

A layered haircut with gradual changes in length; close to a fade, but usually less focused on very short sides.

B2Often

Парикмахер порекомендовал мне стрижку слоями, потому что переходы выглядят мягко.

🇩🇪German
Verlaufsschnitt

A haircut with a gradual length transition; the term is rather uncommon and can sound more technical than everyday.

B2Rarely

Для клиента барбер выбрал стрижку с плавным переходом и мягкими переходами.

Ü
🇩🇪German
Übergangsschnitt

A haircut emphasizing the transition from very short to longer hair; it fits a fade closely, but the word is not very common.

B2Rarely

Ein guter Übergangsschnitt lässt den Wechsel der Längen kaum sichtbar wirken.

Хорошая стрижка с переходом делает смену длины почти незаметной.

V
🇩🇪German
Verblassen

Means fading or becoming less intense, usually about color, light, or sound; only matches haircut fade by wording, not by meaning.

B2Often

Die Farbe begann nach dem Waschen zu verblassen.

После стирки цвет начал выцветать.

A
🇩🇪German
Ausblenden

Usually means to fade out sound, an image, or an effect; in hair context it may resemble a fade, but it is not the normal haircut term.

B2Often

Der Tontechniker wollte die Musik am Ende langsam ausblenden.

Звукорежиссёр хотел плавно вывести музыку в конце.

S
🇩🇪German
Schattierung

Means shading or tonal gradation; in hairdressing it can describe a soft transition, but it is not the specific term fade.

B2Often

Die Schattierung im Bild macht den Übergang zwischen Hell und Dunkel natürlicher.

Затенение на картине делает переход между светлым и тёмным более естественным.

F
🇩🇪German
Frisur

A very general word for hairstyle; it covers any cut or styling, so it is much broader than fade.

B2Very Often

S
🇩🇪German
Seiten
