Another great tutorial. You place such confidence in my ability, i am actually overwhelmed with pride. I've been cutting my husband's white, thinning hair for about 6 months, and it works out better each time. That crown standing up is my biggest fear! But I've conquered the other problems with practice, and this video really addressed the sides and crown. Again, thank you for your passion, and I am looking into your online classes as well.

[@theoneminutebarber]

[@hond4h34d]

Michael! thanks so much for these videos. I am really glad you point out how to cut hair as you approach the parietal ridge and occipital bone. I feel most barbers cut way too tight in these areas

[@theoneminutebarber]

It's the most important part of the whole cut

[@LilXancheX]

@@theoneminutebarberI agree. The parietal ridge gives hair support from the top, to give it a more even look

Thanks so much I am very lucky that quarteredsteels.com sent out some scissors for the video I wouldn`t cut with anything else now.

[@whosrecording5157]

I hate to say it, but I'm a barber who went to school during the pandemic right at the start of 2020. So, most of my experiences came from that. I took a 4-year break and am now cutting hair at a chain trying to sharpen skills I wasn't able to get during the pandemic days. I have always enjoyed it, but starting is a frightening thing, lol 😂 Anyways. Been watching your vids and felt I had to let you know

[@theoneminutebarber]

I hope you are finding some useful content in them. What’s your end goal? Where are you trying to get to

Hi, Michael! Thank you for your tutorials, you make it so easy to understand each and every step. Concerning this very haircut, I'd make the sides a little bit faded/thinner using the open blades. But maybe the client himself asked you leave the thicker sides.. P.S. Every time I watch your lessons it seems like James McAvoy changed his career for 💈

[@theoneminutebarber]

He's a great actor, thanks for the compliment. I agree I could have applied more of a taper to stretch from nothing into the four. I will run it past the client next time I think he'd probably like that.

[@lisamurtha5517]

The video was very informative and I also just enjoy watching haircutting because they always look so much better at the end.😄Can you do one for men with frizzy hair sometime? My son's hair is on the frizzy side so he usually just cuts it short, but I was wondering if there is any way to give him a bit of style as well?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks Lisa, if I get some frizzy hair in I will endeavour to film it. In the mean time, I recommend you get him a natural boar bristle brush to brush through his hair once a day. The scalp produces sebaceous oil which conditions the hair, often hair gets frizzy when the sebaceous oil isn't reaching it, the natural boar bristle will drag the oil along the hair shaft.

[@lisamurtha5517]

[@cyndiveach4279]

Okay, so I cut my grandsons hair tonight. It turned out really good just using a couple of techniques you showed in this video and another one. The other video was about how to cut curly hair. (Not easy) I just had to preface what I'm about to say with the previous statement. This will forever ring in my ears! My over dramatic grandson said when he looked in the mirror and I quote "what have you done!" Lol, trust me his hair looks great! I've cut hair for many years including my own...just never have taken classes. Both my grandsons hair look great! I cut my eldest grandson hair about three weeks ago. He has African hair...I'll search through your videos to see if you have video's that will help me out with cutting his hair. Thanks so much!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Well done Cyndi, I don't have any afro hair on the channel, I won't lie, although I can cut it, I'm lucky if I get one Afro haircut a year, so there is probably better channels than mine when it comes to that discipline

Thank you for the teaching. I have been cutting my son’s hair since he was 10months old. He is 15 now. I took him to the barbershop a couple of time, I have to admit my cutting was much better 😂。Could you please tell me whether the powder can be used for women’s hair to increase volume? Many thanks 🙏

[@theoneminutebarber]

Yes it can. It's really a salon product that barbers started using.

[@PhilGwenTowse]

Hi there, I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thanks so much! One question - when cutting the top you changed angle and you went more from the middle towards the fringe (at 10:44) - why did you do this?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Sometimes I like to go with the flow of the hair especially towards the fringe. It’s not the way to learn as it’s something that creeped into my cutting style. I don’t always do it, but will need to make a video to explain this in better detail.

[@kieranmurphy8148]

Thanks. Your videos are really easy to follow. I've just started cutting my boys' hair. They are aged 3 and 6 years. I find the section above the ears really awkward and the fringe. I feel like there's not much room for the clippers around the ears and the fringe is difficult to get straight. Could you possibly do a little boy's basic haircut. I am using clippers and scissors as in this video. I wonder if it's worth buying a narrow clipper?

[@theoneminutebarber]

I would definitely get a little trimmer for around the ears it will make a huge difference, they also have a finer blade. Sometimes the wider teeth of the big clipper can nip the skin

[@creativedreadlocks5976]

What made you not using thinning scissors? Maybe when working on reducing volume and fringe.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I prefer to reduce the bulk of the fringe by layering it. Thinning scissors can reduce density for sure but can also leave hard lines and what I call ‘poppers’. Short hairs buried in the hair that pop out because they are too short to lay flat.
