After 5 million videos finally one that makes this super simple. This makes sense. Thank you for getting right to the point.

[@aysgndanmahrumbalkabag7270]

This is what I was actually searching for thanks man. I had cut my hair twice but these were different and I was definitely not educated. once I cut my hair from the back, right down to the neck, with blunt scissors, and once I trimmed my hair's sides like mullet style. But now I wanna do it like this and cut the top of my hair. What an inspiring and educational video thanks again.

[@erikittya]

I’m not a professional at all. I just followed the steps and I have to tell you that my 16 year sons is very thankful for you!

Thank you! Take your time and it'll come out good!

Yo for real, thank you SO much for uploading this. I've been cutting my hair ever since covid but now the top is too long and have been dreading cutting it as I didn't know any technique like this. After seeing you do it, it feels like... wow, thats simple I should have realized thats how you do it... but that is how you know it is good advice. Thanks again you saved my hair!

[@803dj5]

Same I've been giving myself fades forever cuz even with a appointment seem to wait forever then the cut takes like 45 mins when I can do it faster with no experience lol and the prices have gotten crazy Everytime it get long long I dread cutting it an just cut it short lol

[@Siberius-]

Such a great video. Really well done. Just cut my hair now! and it turned out great. I really like it. Looks like a regular perfectly fine haircut. Will also be easier the next time, since my hair was very different lengths all over the place. I screwed up a few things and learned some stuff: - I went much shorter than I was intending, mainly because I went too far back for each new section of combed hair, so the guideline was then shorter than it should have been, relative to the new hairs I was cutting. Really wanna work your way back in smaller increments. - Another part of it was that I struggled to see where the guideline even was (which is what lead to the prior thing I mentioned), but eventually I figured out which orientation to have the comb so as I could see just the tips of the guideline-hairs pop up, distinct from the new hairs I was cutting. Can't have the comb obstructing the view, especially if your hair is a similar colour to the comb. - Other than that, I made a serious mess of the bathroom! wet hair everywhere, is not good at all. Usually I am using clippers on dry hair for the sides and back (with a 4-foot tall mirror on an angle facing the bathroom mirror to see the back of my head), and then I just use a vacuum cleaner, but when the hair is wet, it's a nightmare (for just cutting the top there's no need for double mirrors). But anyway! my actual haircut does look great! lol. Update: I just cut my hair again, and this time it was a better setup. I stood in the bathtub, and had my 4-foot mirror lean against the wall (on top of a narrow box). All the wet hair falls into the bathtub and the water from my spray bottle doesn't make the situation worse like when the tiles were getting all wet before. I need to buy myself a cape, because those little hair really stick to ya skin. What would be preferable, is a smaller mirror that can be suspended from hooks over the top of the shower (or trust suction cups temporarily), and then cut the hair on top in the shower, since only one mirror is required and it doesn't need to be tall like when clippering the back of the head in the bathroom mirror. Easier clean-up, and you're already in the shower, so the hair under the feet doesn't need to be addressed. Just needs to be good enough lighting from in the shower. What's nice is that the direction can then be changed via putting the mirror on a different wall, for better lighting on that side of the hair. Second haircut turned out REALLY good. Like, it's a fantastic job lol. Next time should be a lot quicker as I get used to it. This time I figured out how to best hold the tools at each step like in the video, which is very handy.

[@AndysCuts]

Thank you!

[@maalikserebryakov]

Cutting the Top Hair: (1) Hair Preparation: Wetting. Because it sticks together and straightens curly hair out (2) how much do you want to cut? (3) Comb emplacement: Comb the fringe back and up, and snip (4) Back combing: Push the comb deeper in, and use the first layer as a guideline, and snip. (5) Transition to all horizontal displacements of the scalp. (6) Snipping the side wings of the scalp may be done by tilting the comb. Tilt = less hanging over the sides. But some hang looks good.

My hair has been thinning and falling during the pandemic, I just went to the barber to a haircut, clippers on the side and little longer on the top, but that haircut doesnt suit me anymore, it was too long and thin, just saw this tutorial and did it :D, it was a big change, now its shorter and looks thicker and stands on its own! Not perfect by any means, but its pretty decent, thank you!!!

[@drivenbythechills]

Yeah right bro, this guy and his perfect hair, i've been doin my cuts since 7 years now, Always struggled with cutting the top long hair, the fades on the sides is easy but the top hair is not, This guy hair is thicc & stay together so well, you could do it blindfolded, While mine goes everywhere + bold spot in the top front lol. Goodluck doing this perfectly if you dont have his amazing hair

[@AndysCuts]

[@Astrosisphere]

Now why is it none of the so-called professional barbers and hair dressers I've tried can get this basic technique right? The last cut I had, the guy just randomly grabbed a clump of hair on the left of my fringe, cut it at an angle, grabbed another clump of hair nearer the middle and cut it at another non-sensical angle. The back and sides weren't even symmetrical even after me pointing it out to him and I saw just how bad the fringe was when I got out of the shower today and found some hairs and inch longer than the rest and in no particular style! I want someone like you to cut my hair - someone who's taking the scissors to the hair with an intent in mind beyond just: "Durrr, let's cut some hair off".

[@AndysCuts]

Lol sorry to hear that

[@khanhdang4909]

everything was easy until right before I cut my hair, my scissor hand couldn't go straight with balance like this haha

[@johndoughboyy]

So for the combover you do side to side not too long then long then shorter right? And you do that in just the front or the back as well?

[@AndysCuts]

Only front to back side to side is for a cross checking
