No Guidelines vs Guiedlines

[@brianhoke450]

Bad blend can be saved by a good line up! And a bad line up can ruin a good blend! 100% on point!

I would say a bad blend will be extremely noticeable with a good line up and the bad blend will only be emphasized, but I think that’s what he meant mb. Overall good video thanks 👍

[@mumble97]

what if you cut your own hair because of quarantine and now u have a bad line up and bad blend fml

[@anthonyemmm]

My barber is one of the best and been cutting my hair for over 20 years. He’s old school and doesn’t do guidelines. To him it’s like cheating and being lazy. He’s a true master at this craft. I can tell you got some skills too the way you cut and explain. You’ve been trained well and have experience and knowledge. Props to you💯

[@conceptbarbershop]

Anthony M thank you Anthony 🙏🙏🙏 i really appreciate it

[@LongDongSilver78]

I had an older mexican gentleman barber fade me up a couple times right before he retired and it was clean but you could still barely see his guide marks..looked like tetris or like he was following a grid. Interesting technique.

[@DavidOrtiz-nh5ce]

Guidelines is like a puzzle. You have to cut hair along a line at the same length and then blend into the guard size higher or lower than that one. The key is to blend all the lines evenly and smoothly. The reason guidelines works so well is that it gives the barber a chance to check his/her work and ensure the transition is smooth. Now,some barbers can do what this man does and it works for him. Ultimately though the client is the one who should decide what he likes. On self cuts, I use guidelines all the time because it helps me blend both sides of my head evenly. Thanks for the video !

[@iiSup3rior]

I stopped cutting my own hair, makes my arm goes all sorts of ways.

[@chloejohanna31]

The client doesn't decide what techniques you use to get the desired outcome. The client doesn't know how to cut hair.

There really is guidelines the only difference is after you bald it out you don’t move the lever all the way open and make a second line you only move the lever once for every level

Still a way to do it with noooo guidline

Yeah in your brain, visualizing it invisibly.

[@eugenemoore677]

Dude there is no guideline he is fading upward from bald to long hair vs therefore there is no erasing of guidelines 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@aarongalacier]

Well, it isn't necessary to start off by making all 4 guidelines from the start. You could've already been blending out the bald line after making that 2nd guideline.

[@nogutznoglory90s10]

Yeah that kind of confused me

[@josephduenas4718]

Guidelines slow you down, and you can cut without guidelines is being done from a long time, guidelines are for people learning to cut hair or learning new hairstyles.

[@conceptbarbershop]

Gottii C I use to be ALL andis myself. I had like 5 fade masters at one time

[@drvenhrd46]

It’s called tip fading u can start fading just by using the tips of the clipper at an angle and using the shape of the clients head.

[@m.k.6633]

Thanks for the video, I’m working at a barbers shop and seems like bald fade is most common cut. Very picky about it even though it grows out in a few days!

[@jprimemfp2187]

Guidelines or not, its the same amount of time. Also, your method of blending does not give room for flicking out unless its near the crown, causing you to blend in 1/4th of a guard increments in the majority of the blend. Whereas with guidelines, you have better flick-out room so you can still pull out a clean fade and save time by blending in 1/2 or 1/3rd of guard increments. Jorge zepeda is a good example

[@juliekim9955]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I tried this method and the fade came out PERFECT!

[@LummyLumz]

The bald line is technically a guideline so you can’t really mess it up from there if you maintain consistent with the amount of hair being taken off at every level

Dope Video its sweet to see both types of fades on 1 single client crazy!

[@patongko_ando]

yo thanks for this! you explain fading and cutting the most clear out of most if not all videos on youtube lol keep it up!! maybe some combovers or other hairstyles would be nice

[@eliorrodriguez3237]

I honestly think cuts come out cleaner with guide lines

[@DavidOrtiz-nh5ce]

Me too. I think without the use of guidelines barbers rush the haircut and the blend will not be as smooth. The type of hair also matters. On some people there's more dark spots than others and it requires more blending and with guidelines you can see that better.

[@TeW33zy]

Exactly

[@jessehannah2989]

This is how ive been cutting for a long time. I just fade up from bald, never make a line to blend out

[@eliasrodriguez2999]

Wow bro that’s skill right there! I still use guidelines for safety I guess. But your right on doing the same work twice on guidelines. Need to start practicing how to blend without guidelines. Great cut by the way, also learn a lot on how you breakdown what and why you do what your doing.

Elias Rodriguez I hope u give it a try to see for yourself whether or not it saves you some time

[@walterormsby4931]

Clean fade but something looks wrong at the back of the head blending to the top?

[@jtlaflame29]

Its his head shape and the way his hair texture stands up if it were thicker and layed down it would look better or if his hair was shorter

Great video man! I'll have to give no guidelines a try. If you like the detailers and wahl, try out the cordless detailers. They got a lot of flack after they came out, but I ordered some up and absolutely love them. Much easier to use than my corded ones and much cleaner lines. My only complaint about them is they are a bit noisy.

Kann, Thank you so much for this video. Im two months into cutting hair and I love it, but I am having a hard time learning how to fade. I've been using the guideline method, but for some reason, my blends end up patchy. I have tried the no guideline method once before and it worked better for me than the guideline method. How did you learn the no guidelines method? Have you ever used the guideline method? Did it take long for you to master fading? I really need some inspiration from someone like you. Thank you for what you have done and what you are doing. You are really making a difference in peoples lives.

He's right though. A baldline and guideline are 2 different things. Since I self cut I don't do the guideline route. Both ways work though. Just preference I guess.

Or the hair texture

[@joescheller6680]

Personally think too much attention is played on the blend. In two days the blend is taken care of natural growth. I do my own just straight up to top quick flat top short on the top and done. Less than 15 20 minutes tops.
