[@stephenobrien2408]

This dude is 🔥! Best new YT barber channel in my opinion!

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

Thank you Stephen I appreciate that fr! Excited that you guys are finding me! I've been waiting on you all 😆 thanks for this comment have to pin it!

[@KingofPho75]

asian hair is one of the hardest cause every mistake shows but I was lucky to have practiced on all my asian cousins

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

All facts my guy. You were blessed you should be able to do all hair after that lol thanks for watching fam!

[@KingofPho75]

@Eve Breezy sometimes it can be but Most Asian hair is super straight and doesn’t layer. If u don’t precisely fade then u can see the mistakes easily.

[@1975pakman]

Bro this tutorial is solid 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Asian hair is definitely hard to fade thanks 🙏 showing love from Australia 🇦🇺

Great haircut brother...I was wondering if you can use the number 1 guard on your Wahl clippers after your done using your Andis to erase the bottom line?

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

Thanks fam! You definitely could but they are kind of close in lengths. The masters open is 2.4 mm the whal 1 is 3mm. I could definitely fade into the whal 1 with the masters and skip the wahl half if you wanted

[@jeremydejonge9935]

Do you have a different blade on your masters? Trying to figure out how you go from the babyliss no guard to the Masters no guard

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

No sir it's the original blade. Most clippers that are available (babyliss, jrl, ergo, wahl) are the same I'll put it like this almost every Clipper you can think of that can fit a wahl guard has the same cutting range from lever open to lever closed except the wahl legends it's a little longer length from open to close. The masters and the fast feeds both have the same cutting range they are both longer then all other clippers when open with no guard. The wahls or babyliss open are like my masters halfway open. Hope this answers your question.

[@tonytastes]

Clean 👊

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

Aac what's good! Thanks as always!

[@angelroque9024]

so i got a question might sound dumb but since the masters open is a 1 and you put the 0 guard on them and play with the lever closed wouldn't that make that length a half and bring the fade up since under that is the open 1?

[@Saonoski]

90% on of the hardest hairs to cut I feel like other 10% is the hair that’s super curly twisted. Where the twist are individuals, idk how to explain it but the twist are singles and it looks like there are single twist.

Asian Hair Difficulty: A+

[@Fifty_Ft]

Hey what in your opinion is the best type of fade for asian hair? Is it a mid drop fade?

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

There is no best fade for a hair type. What you should be looking at is head shape and facial structure. You want to choose a fade that compliments the clients features. Same with how the top is done.

[@matthewg7298]

Do you think your masters open more than the regular cordless masters? I watched how you gapped it putting a piece from your corded master. And it looks like it opens more than the regular cordless masters zero gapped. My master lever barley touches the top line where yours seems to pass it way past the line

[@Christopher_Minnieweather]

I guess I never really focused on how far they open up. My concern was more so zero gapping I believe they open the same amount as usual but since I never changed anything that should effect that portion of the blade. I will verify it though when I get back to work.
