I started cutting my own hair for the last month without any previous experience. I swear it is so satisfying, I’m still learning and getting better each time. It is not as hard as you think. Barbers used to mess up my hair and my hairline, trust me, no body knows ur hair more than u.

[@BackyardMotivation]

Corona send me here. My barber closed for another 4 weeks. It’s too much! I have to try This. Thank you!

[@alfonsosanchez7166]

Same here bro hahaha got to learn now !

[@BackyardMotivation]

Alfonso Sanchez 😂😂 only thing is... i still gotta go to work. We can’t close Down. So i have to Make This perfect 😬

[@alfonsosanchez7166]

I just did mine am actually proud of my first time! I was so afraid to begging but it actually looks awesome!

[@Jonathan-Bell]

Same😂😂😂

[@misaelj1700]

My hair is prob four times longer than this guy and I’ve gone a month without a cut and I don’t have the patience for another and everything is closed... I even asked my personal barber if they do personal sessions and nope.. might just do this, screw it!

[@craigcraig5731]

Anyone else here cause they're on quarantine?

[@LinRountreemusic]

Craig Craig yep!! Lol 😂

[@Snowbunny1233]

I cut my husbands hair for the first time. I just need to practice on the blending and fading. Yep the quarantine got me here!!! LOL

You know this already!

Craig Craig yep 👍🏽

[@johndoe7109]

Yes lol

[@claypleasant6327]

What has made it easy for me for the guideline is putting a rubber band around my head evenly and cut up to that line.

[@brettblizzard13]

Clabon Pleasant, you're the MAN for that input. I'm on self fade #4 tonight and that tip is going to help me a lot. Thanks.

[@itsaj007]

[@royward4495]

Thanks for the inspiration. Been cutting my hair for the past 29 years since graduating high school in 87. Lots of trial and error -boy talk about errors but they made me come back better. And I've saved a ton of money cutting my hair. Here's a tip that works faster than upward stroke motions for blending and tapers: after creating levels, do downward strokes for flawless blending.

Covid got me becoming a barber now smh.

[@rupy620]

[@elo5449]

I always get a bald fade I cut my hair for the first time today. I used this video to do it and it came out AWSOME! I will never go spend $40 for a haircut again.

[@Doula3]

E Lo holy shit 40! I spend 25

[@LjeNuiN]

Yeah comes to $35-$40 a cut cause some places charge $25 then people tend to tip $10-15

Literally the best tutorial on KZbin hands down. Finally had the balls to try and fade my own hair and it came out pretty good. Practicing more and more now but now I don't have to watch 100s of videos thanks bro

[@sams4mmmm]

After watching many videos, this is by far the best tutorial on KZbin. No unessacerily expensive equipment, no 10 minute small talk straight to the point

[@Powerule23]

Great video. Now that I can fade at home, no more fighting in traffic and sitting around in a barbershop killing valuable time.

[@Clintboyd]

Great tutorial. Been cutting my hair for years. Definitely one of the best fade videos out there. Shalom shalom.

[@lovelydior8132]

Out of all the videos I watched. this one was the most simple yet effecient visually & verbally. Now ima try Thanks

[@1down6upgsxr25]

I’ve given myself man fades with this video, you’re a good man. Don’t need to pay 30 bucks a week for a fade anymore lol respect bro

[@MrFreddyh9]

I got my self cut system 1 year and half ago. Am still a beginner and still learning as I go. I usually watch KZbin videos every other day to keep learning how to cut my own hair. I do a good job sometimes, but of course there's going to be times that it won't come out as good. But I have to say this video is short, "step wise" but man you did a really good fade on yourself. I wrote down the steps so I can follow them when I cut my hair again in 4 days. Saved my self a lot of money by cutting my own hair for the time that I got the self cut system. Thanks man!

[@jackedavocado8689]

Coronoa virus brought me here! And now i don't need to go to the barber ever again! Thank you😁👍🏾

[@trayvonmendez7638]

You made this look so easy. I have to have a fresh cut twice a week. Started cutting my own hair after seeing this video. Thanks man!

[@C345OFR]

WARNING: To all the Europeans asking for clip sizes in mm, AD is using an Andis set of clippers. That means the sizes are as follows: Clip 0 = 1.2mm Clip 1 = 2.4mm Clip 2 = 5.3mm Most standard retail clipper attachments in the EU go 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm etc. If you want the results shown in this video, you're *either* going to have to buy a set of clippers that has attachments that small *or* a set which has an adjustable taper lever with preset positions, and experiment without attachments.

[@hello32175]

awesome tutorial. very easy to follow, just a few steps, and you're not using 300 different clippers like some other videos. This is how i cut my hair. I just wanna ask though, do you zero gap your clippers? (not the line-up clippers but your masters). I've got fast feeds but i haven't zero gapped it. Just wanted your advice, thanks for the video and God bless you brother

[@madreas418]

thanks for your input man I want to learn how to cut my own bald fades👊

[@OFFICIAL_BLKMAGZ]

For everybody watching this. This video is Golden. Follow these exact steps below to fade your own hair using this method. Create the first guideline using open blade a.k.a. No Guard on clipper Then cut sides and back to desired length which is a size 3 guard on the clippers Then use a size 1 guard and create a second guide line above about 1/2 inch. Then blend/fade the top guide line using a size 2 guard on the clippers Then fade out the bottom and last guide line using size 1/2 guard on the clippers “fade almost done” Then Do light clean up work using a size 2 guard on the clippers for the top of the fade making sure not to go to high. Open blade “no guard” can be used to clean up lower part of the neck and sides under first guideline . Again make sure not to go too high. This step is only to clean up.

[@magellanmax]

Thanks for the tip bruh. This quarantine shit got my program all messed up. Even if I fuck it up, I'll just go all bald. Peace. ✌🏾

[@MrMvaughn79]

man, I'm scared to death to try this

[@kerrywayne2010]

I've been cutting my hair about 3 months now. Just keep practicing. Also good lighting and adequate mirrors are a must.

[@sbj97]

Exactly the video I needed to see for the haircut I wanted thanks bro

[@xpcyberARP]

Dude your video helped the most out of all KZbin! I am much better just watching your Video. Quick question what is the order you go into fading if you know what I Mean.. By guideline than fade. Like skin for first line second line 0 guard open than in between to fade. Always get confused on the numbers you go from bottom up to fade

[@mikeobii]

This is explained very clear. Other ones got me confused!

[@patrickmolina3382]

Bro you're awesome. You earned yourself a sub 💇‍♂️👌👍

I just cut my hair and had trouble blending in the lines. What's the zero that you used to make the second guide line? Really trying to get better! Great video by the way!

[@AdrinTheBarber]

+Jesus Bojorquez Thank you! I believe it was the 0 magnetic guard

[@younggun-wl3vx]

What’s the size difference between the 1st and 2nd guidelines? I thought closed was a 0? But then u used an actual 0 guard?

[@charlesoliver2454]

When you see the numbers on the guard, those arent actual lengths. Those are just a way to put the guards in order. the 0 guard is just shorter than the 1 guard

[@ice_ryda]

u made that look way too easy. At first I was like damn homie fucked his head up but u killed that ish. DOPE

Nice video bro. I do a mid fade with a size 1. You think you could tell me the steps on how to do that

Damn man. That's clean asf. I only recently got rid of my medium/long hair and went with a #3 on top and fade on the sides. I wanna save money and try to do it at home though, but idk, maybe harder to fade Asian textured hair? Anyone got tips?

[@jarvellwilson7394]

I have a question if you use the wrong guard is it too late to change it or maybe just go with the one I already used?
