I recommend wearing your jeans to begin with. Also, it helps if they're raw denim.

I starch my dry denim. It makes the creases much sharper and I guess they faded a bit. What I do is starch them, and wear them until they dry on their own. I also found that the starch kind of dissolves the indigo dye inside. When I wipe the excess starch off, most of the time the starch is of a blue color.

I happen to use this specific one and I find it pretty easy to use

:

I guess if you wanna cheat, you can spray starch on the area you want faded and just rub it with a paper towel or something

But personally, I wouldn't do that.

Yes, I recognize your username, I've been here for a while lol.

Also, ^^ I also use starch, but only once or twice between it breaks down denim. I spray my lap and stacks area if I want them to be the way I want.
