Celebrity barber @Patty_cuts clarifies origins of the fade cut in exclusive interview

Patrick Regan, better known as @Patty_cuts, Travis Kelce's barber, recently discussed the true roots of the fade cut, as well as his journey to stardom, in an interview for The Tease's VolumeUp podcast. The controversial New York Times article, referring to the faded cut as "The Travis Kelce," sparked strong reactions, including from Kelce himself, who pointed out that the hairstyle was not new.

Regan made a point of paying homage to African-American culture, which he believes truly popularized the fade cut, despite recent media attributions. He explains that he has been making this cut on Kelce for six years without it attracting comment until recently. Despite this unfamiliarity, Regan continues to educate on the careful technique needed to achieve a perfect fade, emphasizing the importance of getting the guidelines right during the process.

Furthermore, Regan welcomes the increased recognition of Kelce's personality, which he considers a positive development linked to this controversy. He hopes that this insight into the issue will contribute to a better appreciation of the cultural roots of hairdressing.
