1 Corinthians 13 New King James Version The Greatest Gift 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I just lost faith, if I get a bad haircut instead of getting mad I just think 'another one in my list' that is how frecuent it happens. I think I will get a classic haircut when it grows a little and let it grow for 1 year.

[@mikekapral8677]

Very well done self fade. Some tips and advice for people new to cutting their own hair, don't try a skin fade until you have learned to blend a bit. And another technique to help blend more evenly is to get your lines established as shown and then use a comb upwards through the bottom of the line, exposing small amounts of hair through the teeth of the comb, then use your clippers against the comb. After using the comb to help cut small even amounts of hair where the lines meet finish off using the guards and upwards flicking motion. I've been doing my own fade haircuts for about 3 years now using many of the same techniques as the video.

I stand an ironing board up against the bathroom door, then stick the mirror into the metal extension at the end of the ironining board - this allows me to angle the mirror and use the bathroom mirror to see all angles of my head.

Thanks for your tips on using the guards with “opened and closed “ settings on the clippers. Today, I cut my own hair and lined my beard and It came out real nice. I have all the essentials tools clippers, shavers etc that you’d normally find at a barbershop. The one thing I did was setup a tripod with a small hand mirror, this way I could fade the back of my head symmetrical. It took me just over an hour, but in the grand schemes of things, I saved $50 plus tip, which is what barbers around the way are charging, plus travel time and gas. I cut my hair once a month, so as far as that goes, that’s a $600 savings a year. Thank you again for uploading the video.

[@masso172]

I've been cutting my hair since the beginning of corona, I'm pleased and at times I think I like it more than when I used to cut it with a barber, although I usually can take up to 3 hours to cut it! It takes so much work to get it right

[@Carlosstacks]

If you keep it up you'll end up liking how you cut your hair more than a barber

[@mustachesally4134]

Since cutting my own hair and doing my own fade (and saving A LOT of money), I realized that guards 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 are my best buds. Cutting your own hair with a fade takes skill and a lot of time to perfect. While all my friends are getting their haircut before Friday night, I've already cut mine in less than 30 minutes. Give it a try. It's ok to make a mistake the first try and your hair will grow back but eventually you'll be good at it and it becomes "memory". I spent several years going to a barber. While I still go to my favorite barber here and there for special occasions, I cut my own hair for casual days out. Problem is sometimes you get obsessed with cutting your own hair that maybe once a week, you're trimming it often.

I Cut and faded my own hairs today for the first time ever and it looks pretty decent. I was so happy like a little kid after that 😂 it can only get better. Took me about an hour. I get a haircut weekly so it's hard to cut a perfect line like in your video. It's not even about saving money. I travel often and it sucks to find a hairdresser that have skills. Bought me a Wahl Senior Cordless and some other stuff. I think I will have that invested money back after 2 months of self cutting already 👏🏻

[@Future_looksbright]

Just cut mine doing this technique, it wasn’t flawless but I adjusted and am happy with the final result! This was the first time I did no guard on my own. I went from 0 to 2 (long) on my sides. Then I scissor trimmed the top to blend it in. Thanks for sharing!

Learning to cut your own hair takes time, I’ve cut my own hair around 50 times in the past 3 years and I still mess up sometimes. I have a few tips Thoe, 1. lighting is everything, make sure to have really good lighting while cutting your hair, I bought some battery bar lights for my mirror which helped me a lot, before I was doing it in low lighting which made it harder for me to see the guidelines, I was pretty much eyeballing it most times, 2. Make sure to buy some good clippers and trimmers, I bought the baByliss pro set for under $200 (best investment ever) they cut hair really sharp and smooth. 3. Make sure to oil down your clippers before any haircut so it’s a lot easier for the clipper to cut, when not oiled it makes it hard for the clippers to cut properly. 4. Always follow the metal line on the guards not the guard plastic end or you’ll get lost in every guideline. 5. Always cut on a flick out motion, never cut deep or else the guidelines are going to be much more difficult to erase. 6. If you are using cordless clippers make sure you charge them 100% so they are cutting at full potential. 7. Always make sure you brush off any loose hair so you keep a clean view. FINALLY. Make sure you are disinfecting your clippers, I wasn’t very careful with cleaning my clippers and developed a rash, now after every haircut I get a rash behind my head and it takes days to go away so please disinfect your clippers right.

How to take out volume and how to cut with shears. Even more of a gentleman's haircuts. Self taught!

Still need the 1.5 guard to blend into the 2 close more smoothly in my opinion. You could also use the half guard to spread your fade better especially in the back. Good self cut doh

Start out simple. It is intimidating as hell, no doubt...But if you don't need a really complex style and just want to cut your own hair so you can stay looking neat and cut it whenever you want, then a buzz is ideal. All the same length all around. Not really much to screw up (Unless you didn't clip the guide on right once and it slipped off and you sheared a big-ass bald square in your head. Which totally never happened to me once. >_>). The only part you could mess up with a buzz (providing, again, you make sure the guide is secure

When cutting your own hair - never cut any portion of your head any shorter than you're willing to take it down all around. That way if you fuck up you can salvage it by just buzzing all around. Might not be the style you wanted, but a buzz cut is always preferrable to looking like a goof or buying 3 new hats. =) I've tried some more complex self cuts and every once in a while I'll finish, look at the mirror, and realize a goof with a bad haircut is staring back at me. So, just had to do the short buzz and try again next time. =)

Look how he’s holding the buzzer. I did a lot of practice movements with the buzzer off. It’s hard because looking at the mirror when you move your hand it’s reversed. Not to mention when your hand blocks the mirror.

Just cut my hair after 1.5 years of not doing it myself and…it went okay. 7/10 cut 😂 Here are some tips I think would help. 1. This guy has his hair pretty leveled already! If you just start cutting your hair directly into the fade like he does the guidelines are going to be overlapped with the hair on top. I had to go higher on my fade because one side was higher! I’d recommend cutting your entire hair #8 and then start the fade. I find it much easier to to do his initial steps and after erasing lines I don’t go to the #2 guard to clean up bulk. I go down the ladder of numbers, so if you start at #8 like I said initially you can fade your hair from #7-#2 guard all around your head for each. It’s much more time consuming, but it’s less confusing imo. 2. Definitely invest in a second mirror my fade came out sloppy because I couldn’t see the back or cut behind my ears properly because all I have is a small handheld mirror. Going to look into the 360 degree mirror kit. 3. It’s never gonna be perfect. The first few times are rough and you’ll probably have to rock your patchy hair with noticeable mistakes like me haha. You’ll get better over time and save a lot of $ too! Overall great tutorial though; no hate just some input!

Since the pandemic, I started cutting my husbands hair and, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I’m pretty good at it and I’ve gotten better since my first time. I’ve been wanting to try and give him a fade but was too scared to mess his hair up. But with this video, I think I’m ready to try. Thanks for the very helpful and informative video!

[@lillispets8394]

How did it go?

[@karlaramirez8377]

@@lillispets8394 It’s going good, I cut his hair again last night lol. He no longer has to pay to go get a haircut. I cut our son’s (2 yr old) hair too.

I been cutting my hair for a few years now, since covid, you have helped me take it to the next level, One tip for beginners, get a cordless trimmer, makes a huge difference in moving with precision, WAY easier then using a corded

[@ALEXJRZ]

Looking for 4 minute haircut, guy tells me it'll take me 2 hours....fml.

Bro gave you a fishing pole and taught you to fish

[@al-du6lb]

it's funny going back and listening to your advice again after several self haircuts because you are spot on with the advice. First couple haircuts took me at least 2 hours.

[@TP3NINJAWARRIOR]

You do the same thing as 360

[@GMoney-B]

That is so genius to start from the bottom and up. Most other tutorials start with the longest all over the sides and back and then go lower on the trimmer guard number. Can’t believe I never thought of that before.

[@MrAlanForex]

I tried previously and I had more hair on one side than the other! I will try your tips moving forward! 😀

[@jessiesineath7702]

You do a really good job...I get a fade every month...Ive been debating doing my own hair for many years..if I had the right equipment I probably would

You've obviously been watching a lot of 360 Jeezy!

I should have watch this video before I cut my son’s hair... well now that stumbled Upon this video I now exactly what to do for next time! Thank you!

[@DizzleEdits]

I've been cutting my own hair for about 2-3 years but this video has upped the quality by large. Cheers! Btw, any other blonde / light colored hair people have any tips on differentiating the layers?

[@ozzyakhtar5021]

Thanks man this was the best out of several I watched as a beginner

[@fleetdavis3210]

What product do you use in your hair to get that shine? TY

[@jwarrior852]

I've been cutting my own for 25 years. Your method and mine are identical. Only difference is I use a hand mirror. It is time consuming but not more than driving somewhere and waiting for your turn. And you save so much money

I did nice one mine the first two times and did exceptionally well on my 3rd. I grew out my hair after that but recently I tried again, i must have gotten cocky because I sort of rushed it and I ef’d my hair up this time lmao. Hoping it evens out in a few more days but my next day of work is Friday so I might just go see a barber to fix it up.

[@AWSKAR]

Actually maybe Im a perfectionist. I left the ‘bad’ cut how it was and have gotten a lot of compliments.

[@thedentistbakery2010]

I tried this last night. Its insanely hard. My wife had to come and save me as I looked like I had given the clippers to a toddler

[@nino3436]

This is a really difficult method for a self-haircut especially for someone just starting out. I've been cutting my own hair now (very similar hairstyle as the video) since the pandemic began and I've got it down great. I start with the skin line and then work my way up one guard at a time until it's blended instead of jumping all over the place. I don't move on until the previous guard line is eliminated. Makes it wayyyy easier in my opinion!

[@jacksonprime7098]

Same bro. Impatience is my biggest flaw

@@donaldduck4405 Really well actually! I haven't perfected it but I had a lot of compliments when I said I did it myself haha :)

[@radxan3295]

I haven’t watched a better tutorial where everything was explained so coherently step by step. Also, would It help to after finishing your fade, running along the very bottom of it with a razor, to fade it in with the skin better?

[@asadahmed5914]

You came a long way my man. I was introduced to you through Chris Bossio's reaction to your self cut video. I wont lie, that video was NOT-GOOD. This one is done nearly professional level. Keep up the good work.

[@johnrespect4215]

Doing same thing for 10 years now... I AGREE IT REQUIRES SOME PATIENCE AND GOOD POSITIONING OF EXTRA MIRRORS FOR THE REAR and CORNERS. using same clipper i bought 2011 up this day of 2021.

[@charleslegget6956]

Bought the Wahl clipper at Target. I use the #3 center of my head like I have a mohawk. About 3”wide. Then I use the (L) & (R) then I use the #1 to fade into the angle trim. Last is the 1/2 from the bottom up to the 1/2 and then I take off all guards and get it down to skin. Takes about 3 minutes and don’t even use a second mirror.
