If I don’t have thinning shears what number can I blended on side

It depends on the haircut you are going for. Message me on Instagram and I will help you out! instagram.com/alexkouras

[@amasha88]

يا اخي فيك شي سوري انت.

[@leethomson5733]

Man you are doing it wrong, you have to start on high numbers and work down so you can blend it in , that's why all the other videos are better yours is not blended it goes from one number to the next like you went to a dentist appointment and came out with a haircut 😂😂 you said a lot of you won't have cut your own hair before , looks like that includes you 😂😂😂

[@matter971]

I found it pretty easy tbh

[@arod8089]

hahaha. I'm getting better

[@dolx2861]

good practice makes perfect man just keep trying and learn from your mistakes

[@RomyAnton]

LOL!

[@Hacktheplanet_]

Can you do a copy and paste tutorial

[@BlastCODM]

You know what. I had ALL day to sit and practice this and it came out pretty decent actually. Im impressed. I really took my time. About 4 hours. It just takes time and patience. Dont rush or over do anything. Dont get overconfident. Keep replaying the same part 1000 times if you have to.

[@insane1503]

Yes you gotta be very patient lol. I used to take 3 to 4 hours when I first started cutting my hair. 😂 Now I get it done in about 40 to 30 mins lol.

[@Pablotercero90]

4 hours is a long time 🤣, i bet your clippers were hot 🔥

[@Danskerne1]

4 hours hahahaha

[@advann1]

i self learned to haircut during quarantine 5months i had seen no barber decided first time for my life i had balls to cut my self hair today its been past a year and im really proud of my self. i can say proudly i haircut very professionaly and better than some barbers i been at. its been a year of journey of not giving a single fck about what ppl think and doing my journey and learning luckly i had my ex gf. dont give up be strong and live in no fear.. now im watching tutorails to maximize my knowledge xd

[@AlexKouras]

Awesome work man! It’s a mindset shift and the second you realize you can do it yourself it becomes a whole new ball game to excel at. Keep up the great work 💪

[@imanonymous335]

This guy did a better fade than most barbers.

[@jerrywestin449]

Lol what barbers you go too 🤣🤦🏿‍♂️

[@dakotarising3490]

This weekend I’ll be cutting my own hair, I’ve completed about 5 haircuts over the last few months and each time I’m getting better and better...If I could give anyone advice I’d say don’t get frustrated, this is a skill and once you’ve mastered it it’ll boost your confidence and give you that attitude that you can learn anything...Good luck guys and don’t give up 🤛👍

[@FightThoughts]

I was going so well and one mistake leads to over correcting the mistake, and now I need a hat 😂. Thanks tho.

Just discovered this video and it’s a jewel. I’m giving myself a good haircut every two weeks thanks to this.

[@Ibrahim0403]

I attempted this before and failed. But after watching a good few times I can now say I cut my own hair from now on. And that also saves me a lot of money. Thanks Alex👊🏾 👍🏾

[@mariusgardelli4262]

Nice! A couple of suggestions if you don't mind: 1. Make your initial bald line lower around the back of your head, so you can space out your guidlines a little bit more. 2. Use #0 open, instead of #1 closed on your second guidline and then #1.5 closed on your third. Your haircut will look even better.

[@AlexKouras]

Thanks for the advice! Thanks for watching! More great content coming soon! 😄

[@Richp20]

This is the tutorial that I use for my haircut. My wife loves it and so do I. The only thing that I would advise is that I have the half guard and 1.5 guard so I don't move the lever half way. Maybe mentioning that in your videos could help some people achieve some better results

[@jiteshkumar-kw5ym]

I started with your teaching , and now ended with no hair on my head 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@mohamedeloiazizi7458]

Lmfao 😂😂

LMFAO 😂🤣💀

[@thenature...]

😂😂

[@hotlikejunior]

Dead😂😂😂😂😂

[@artiw0w]

I do cut my side hair like this every 2 weeks since 6 months now. For me and my clippers, it works the best to take out my guidelines with the lever completely open for the 1 & 2 guards. Half way closed would take off too much. The very first guideline I take out with my lever first halfway closed, then 3/4 closed. You need to try different lever levels for your very own clipper but overall, this guide is genius. BIG Thumbs up!

[@TheGalacticIndian]

Not only excellent self-cut but also impressive camera work🤩

[@alpachino468]

I watched this video several times, made several notes, and even simulated the motions in front of a mirror before actually gaining the courage to finally turn my clippers on. After I finished cutting my hair, I ended up looking like Jean-Luc Picard! FML!

[@roughryder5]

LMAO

[@ezammaze]

i have actually cut my own hair last two weeks and it turned out not so bad but after watching this video i am inspired to do more and sharpen my skills. thanks to you dude!

[@AlexKouras]

You can do it! Thank you for watching! More great content coming soon! 😄

[@Alexlemay17200]

I've been cutting my hair for about 2 months now thanks to Alex's videos and I'm just cutting it regularly with no fancy techniques or whatever and now I feel much more confident in cutting my hair thanks to Alex, keep up the work my guy!

[@johnnyrotten3116]

So I did this haircut, following step by step, i adjusted the clipper sizes though as I don't like doing an almost bald fade - just short. My wife says its the best haircut ive ever gotten. Couldn't believe I did it myself. AWESOME steps. My arms got tired cutting the top though 😂

[@chevadocampbell8024]

the First ever selfcut video I've seen that actually show all the steps. Great video. 💪🏾🙏🏾

[@afrin3039]

[@mgt9937]

Me too, cuz Im bald now 😅

[@aran8230]

@@AlexKouras would this still work if I changed the grades in this video according (no guard to one and 2 guard to 3)

[@poppulseupdate]

Not sure why so many people are saying this is difficult... just follow the video lol. I've been following this method for months and have almost mastered it now. Blending in the hard lines is the trickiest but not that bad.

[@paulturcott6816]

Did this yesterday after getting proper clippers with a lever in the mail. I'm so proud of my cut! I had one attempt before this using cheap clippers that don't have a lever, so I did a longer fade that wasn't bald that time. This time was the first attempting to do a bald fade. Just FYI it took about 2 hours to get a result I was happy with. So make sure you have enough time especially on your first try. Helps a lot to have a self cut mirror (trifold mirror). It's mad scary at first and completely disorienting to cut hair using mirror, but if you take your time, you can do it. One thing that helps is to look away from the mirror sometimes to get your bearings, go where you think you should go with your hands without touching the clippers to your hair, and then certify by looking back in the mirror where your hands are. Hard to explain, but I think it helps train your brain on how to use the mirrors in reverse orientation.

[@Battlescarred_Shogun]

I used your vid for cutting my hear during the lockdown in the Netherlands but now I'm really into it and keep doing it. It's actually fun! Thanks mate! 👍🏻

[@AlexKouras]

It definitely is a lot of fun! I appreciate the support! More great content coming soon! 😄

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen for a faded, my wife was struggling finding the right video. Thank you so much!!!

[@lu9988]

I watched this video and then gave my boyfriend a haircut. This is the first time for me doing this and it ended up really well. Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful 🌸

[@AlexKouras]

That's awesome! Great job!

[@xaviersales92]

Complete beginner here. I use the thinning scissors to cut the top hair, gives it a textured look and a lot more forgiving for a beginner

[@silva.g.b.7914]

Man, i tryed this way to cut my hair and i loved. It is very simple and easy if you make it right. I've always cut my own hair, thare are many years.

This is awesome, I hate waiting for haircuts, this is a time saver I'm going to start fading myself

Underrated comment 🤣

[@Blicky-SB]

damn you aint gotta remind me

[@xXGamerXx71]

Been cutting my hair on my own since that corona crap started. With no experience whatsoever i found it very useful to start from top to bottom, it leaves hair for mistakes, you can always go shorter. BUT: It definitely takes longer, since you really gotta pay attention to finding the right line.

[@anzzafin]

Gotta say I just did this for the first time ever and the end result is surprisingly nice! Did couple of mistakes but managed to get it done, you just need time and patience.

[@ultimatesteve]

i been self cutting for years. just a tip for anyone out there, you can use painters tape to set your lines. i wrap the tap around my head and that lets me easily set the guide line without fucking up.

[@carloshidalgo4982]

Watched a couple self cut videos and this was the easiest to follow. Thanks

[@Wickeddennis89]

Thanks for the vid man ! Just attempted for the first time and I don't have to shave it off ! Surprised myself ! Thank you again 🙏🏽🤘🏽

[@GoDxism]

I just tried it. Bad mirror set up, could barely see anything so I could get a proper line all the way through my head. It's also way more difficult to hold the clippers and cut the back. At the end, I just decided to shave my whole head off lmao. That may have been my first and very last attempt at cutting my own hair. You my friend make it look about 50x easier than what it is.

[@MrOmniFicent]

Just tried this on my cat, worked great! he loves his new haircut!

[@Valhallo]

Thank you for the video. It was less confusing than a lot of the other ones I found. I tried it the first time today and actually didnt screw it up :D The first line was a bit problematic but at one point I started to feel really confident with the machine, even switching hands depending on which side I was working on. From there it was a lot of fun.

[@alland.713]

great stuff bro. Followed your video and got the best self cut to date.

[@Metallkopf86]

I have always cut my own hair but ALWAYS struggled with the top length.... I have jacked it up recently and look forward to adopting your technique when trimming the top as I feel this will drastically change things for the better. Thanks so much for making this video!

[@captainwormburner]

The title of this video isn't lying. This really is the best self haircut on YT. The fade is both quick to do, and good looking. Never tried the top part, but a no 8 buzz works great for me Edit: No. 8 is okay, but the best guard for the top is 1 1/4"

Have you ever tried using a video camera to cut the back instead of a mirror? Thinking of trying this.

[@huzzy77]

Dude you are the man! I’ve purchased the same clippers as you. I took around 3+ hours, but my fade was a bit dark and not completely faded. I received that feedback from family. I mean it’s not that but it could’ve been worse

[@Benzxo]

This self haircut is so satisfying to watch👌👌

[@maj954]

I like the perimeter guideline you brought up. i've been cutting my hair for 10 years exact now and sometimes like to go to barber shops just to watch how they do things. Still faster just doing it myself and free touchups haha

I learned to cut hair in the quarantine and I save 100 dollars in a month (in switzerland is a haircut 25 dollars) and im earn more then 100 dollars in a month by cuting the hairs of friends. I can recommend everyone to learn that
