You can’t convince my husband to have that so called fade.

I want to learn work and cutting hair cut please help it is my passion.

Truly my personal opinion, but the use of shears on men with that hair texture should be outlawed. I am neither a barber or stylist, however, I do share a similar hair texture and thickness, and have had my share of haircuts in my day. It goes without saying, that finding a barber who gets you and you can trust to keep you looking fresh is an invaluable resource. Additionally, when you find one who has the clean and tight fading skills combined with the eye for a stylistic approach and trendy cuts isn't as easy as you may think. Again, I say all of this because I am purely giving my opinion on the cuts featured in this video, which I am sure the poster will appreciate as that's essentially why wee choose to showcase our craft on social media, meant for public consumption. The same way we shouldn't expect redundant praise without context, is how we should also never have to encounter a troll or hater who is giving an opinion without merit or context, and is one of the unfortunate realities of opening up the public domain for universal commentary. OK, politically correct spiel complete, the reason that I personally despise the use of shears, or any other "thinning out" method, that is often justified by the need to remove weight and bulk, is because I believe you can achieve that same outcome without essentially exacerbating one of the main goals in going in for a cut - not to get too specific, I am just referring to a solid low to mid fade with taper and a classic gentleman cut on top - NO hard part ie shaving the part is acceptable in my eyes for any reason...like none... 99.9% of men with a straight and fine to medium texture hair type can almost always achieve a solid part using a comb, with hair usually damp from washing, and then proceed to use a blow dryer to lay it into place based on what side you may part and to achieve a variety of other finishes such as volumizing with a round brush with some sea salt spray (which seems to be the rage) or using a diffuser for a similar purpose...almost always finishing with whatever product you prefer based on if you're going for a more matte, flexible hold or a more shiny, medium to high hold with that old-school coiffed look... needless to say, there is no shortage of products available with the intent to achieving the look you want - it's just a matter of trial and error or recommendation from a barber you can trust - similar theme throughout. Lastly, I find the key differentiator between a good barber and a great barber is as follows - the majority of barbers featured on this page are good barbers...it is very apparent that they are trained, have a strong skillset and men's cutting/styling expertise, and a wealth of experience in executing the most staple, trendy and highly requested cuts. However, a great barber doesn't just give you the cut that you want, they go even further to give you the cut you need....even when that cut isn't what you asked for or intended... this is because they are well versed in a variety of hair types and textures, not to mention techniques to maximize texture, for example, with customers experience thinning or baldness....in this case, using shears on someone with such a straight and fine texture does not but damage the ends that were likely already split, and exposed more of the bare scalp, which isn't always visible when blow dried and styled properly, but apparent when head is wet and you can see that their intent to remove weight and bulk is essentially fast tracking you to the appearance of male patterned baldness...from my experience, a solid technique of clipper or scissor over comb to connect aa fade and solid trim using standard barber shears can give you the same effect without looking like you have too much weight or bulk on the top when styled with any type of fade....even the most extreme high bald fade..., which, in cases where the customer is looking for more of a undercut, you would absolutely forgo the use of shears to achieve that style....in my opinion, unless you're cutting very coarse of thick hair for creating a longer, more complex cut such as layering etc, shears are a big no no.... Again, my 2 cents from a lover of style and an admirer of great barber work....Cheers! #DrusViewz
