Easiest Taper Steps 💯

[@legionofb00m96]

I've been cutting my own hair for 20 years (just self-taught methods and observed what barbers did to me). Started cutting my kids hair couple years ago due having no local barbers and all the local salons cutting like 💩Anyway, you helped me improve my cutting speed and quality by 1000x almost overnight! Thanks man!! 🙏

Hell yeah love to hear it!

I use this same exact technique, what I found is instead on coming in with the half guard halfway, I always come in with it all the way open and work my way down with the lever until the line is out. I love this technique. Keep up the content brother loving it

As a U.K based barber who actually cares about his job and his clients hair as much is I do , it makes me sad seeing how so many people here are being treated badly by their barbers to the point where they are saying ‘no one cares as much about their own hair as much as you do, sick of not getting what I ask for , it’s too expensive for 10 minutes’. Shame on these barbers you guys have been dealing with, glad I own a barbershop that will only provide the best standard of hair cutting.

I decided to buy my own clippers and trimer after I had a horrible experience “customer service at a local barber shop”. They guy who was working there gave me dirty looks as soon as I walked in. Gave me the most bad vibe I have ever gotten from a barber. And the cut was done in less than 20 mnts. Never again.

Great tip about the first spot with consistent hair across the back. I often just stare at the hair when determining where to set the rear bald line and then just kinda pick a spot haha, never wanting to go too high, but being thrown off with inconsistent growth from the bottom up. Glad I found this channel

I've been cutting my own hair for a long time because i have something called dystonia, so going to the barber isn't an easy experience to say the least, but anyway I've watched so many videos but could never really get the hang of fading and i swear this is the first one I've seen that explains how to blend in a way i can understand.

[@thomasmembreno6018]

Sean, One of the things that I would like to see is creating clean surfaces to start guidelines on tapers or fades.

[@Seancutshair]

I’m not sure what you mean by that

[@thomasmembreno6018]

@@Seancutshair for instance say I haven’t came in for a haircut in months and I wanted a skin fade which number would I start with to have the canvas I would need to begin the haircut. I’m not sure if that makes sense

[@fyvnyn0990]

10:17 for the indentations, you should pull the skin out from that indentation, to a flatter surface and that will help you cut the hair in that spot because you move the skin out of there.

Yes a crop on top with tapers like this is what I rock. It’s a 4,3,2 on the sides

[@bonked9980]

To do this taper, does the hair already need to be a number 3 on the sides and back, or can it be a number 2 or 4 instead?

Yeah either, just have to connect to whatever is above

Thank you Sean you helped me big time with the half gaurd half gaurd. I watch 360jeezy a lot and he says go in with the half guard closed and flick I notice this takes too much off. Then I noticed he uses andis and I use whal like you. And then there is the discussion about if whal and andis gaurds are the same length which they are not so seeing you use the half gaurd half open the. Closed if needed helped me that last man

[@alysonhawthorne3152]

I just started watching your content... I really like the way you explain the clipper #s, and created the best way I've seen, to not bring a fade to high... Is there anything you know of that can help me recognize the different lines, to keep me from going up to high?

[@Seancutshair]

Put your guidelines in and then work from top to bottom so you’re working down and not going any higher

[@alysonhawthorne3152]

So I've been doing this for a really long time, and after coming back from my home Barber shop ( COVID+ 2 yrs ) bald fades are super popular! I typically don't have an issue, but it's about the super hard line being put in, especially when it's hair ..... Like yours! Lol

[@robrealcuts]

I use the masters for my guard work and magic clips for that no guard lever open. After that I go 0,1 and 2. Fades been coming out flawless. But when I get some really light textures/thin. I’ll use this method ! Much love Sean !

[@Seancutshair]

Nice! Whatever works for you!!!

[@danimelvin3091]

when doing a taper, is it okay to do it with the clients head facing down, or better to be upright

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah they can face down to make it easier to get to. Just make sure you’re still putting it where you want, not going too high, etc

[@kyuteepy]

Super helpful. I'd love if you put timestamps for certain things in your vids. For instance, at 3:20 you provide a great reminder of notches and what they refer to. Also, as you are doing the taper, it'd be great to see the exactly how much you are opening your blade. Maybe a quick flash to the camera as you are doing it? All that said, your video is super helpful, but you ask for feedback, so adding nice to haves. Thank you!

[@Seancutshair]

Appreciate it! Thanks for the feedback!

[@willyesco25]

I wish there was an exact science to this. It seems to be pretty much trial and error till you get to a point where you’re comfortable doing it a certain way.

[@Seancutshair]

There is somewhat an exact science. The order in which you do it is up to you. But you have to hit all these certain lengths in order to get a smooth gradient fade or transition
