Easy Way to Cut Your Own Hair Without Shaving it Off During Quarantine

[@waynelee7421]

This is the first useful self haircutting video I've viewed. A totally straightforward delivery of instructions. Props.

[@humanbeingzz]

This is perfect. There is absolutley no need to get all fancy shmancy with the fades and what not. In times like this, you just need to look presentable and have a lighter head while you stay home.

[@jeffstumpf9129]

I can't help myself - is to have a "lighter head" like having "a good head of air" (see Darry's typo in his comment)?

[@lexbeltran1354]

Indeed. I don't care about styles

[@achiappanza]

I watched a few videos and ended up listening to the first two (yours was the second) that made two distinctive decisions: 1) Go from long to short 2) Don't use anything but clippers. The only difference between you was the choices of clipper guards, and I went with yours because the other guy's result looked shorter than I like. Pretty happy with it! I've decided that about 20% of the time spent in the salon was the person paying very close attention to tiny details that no one will notice in less than a week.

[@Alresan]

Best video I've ever seen about how cutting your own hair. It's simple and easy for getting a medium length haircut.

[@shokmail3875]

Had this on the "To Do" list for 6 months now. Finally took the leap. WOW does this work great, and I still have both ears! Thank you for taking the time to share. Most appreciated!

[@tommcmanus7469]

This is brilliant Aaron, great cut and easy to follow steps. My search is officially over!

[@brianlake5862]

Greetings from England. Thank you Aaron, I’ve never cut my hair before but after 7 weeks of lockdown your video was a massive help. I will never be hairdresser of the year but I’m very happy with my first ever attempt.

[@gilbertobordin1149]

Thank you. I bought a hair clipper and didn't know how to use it. I didn't want to use scissors, just the hair clipper and your video was my salvation.

[@SayMyNameAgain]

It worked, cut my sons hair today, thank you! I kept the top long & put in in a rubber band when cutting. Thanks for posting

[@SultanKhan66]

I've watch a ton of these and this one is the best yet. Simple technique. Very doable.

[@AaronStelle]

Thank you!

[@John012196]

Great video Aaron! I wanted to pass on to you, I learned from your video during the lockdown. Now that everything is open, I still cut my own hair and saving a ton of money. Thanks for your video!!!

[@yt_user_442]

Finally a full clipper cut that seem feasible. Thank you man !

[@nearlynormal]

Well done. I've watched quite a few of these self haircut vids. This one is probably the best

[@AaronStelle]

Thank you!

[@benjaminbrown5245]

Yea!!! I cut my own hair with the clippers and guess what I am totally blind. It is not hard to do you just feel where you are .I can always tell if hair is uneven. That is when you go back over and make sure that everything is good. I have been told by many that it looks as if I went to the barber. Oh the other thing I do, if you want to keep that bathroom neat cut your hair in the shower. I use the clippers in the shower but I don’t at all have the water running. This way, the hair goes down in the shower and it doesn’t make a mess. Collect it after you are done and you are good to go. Not a vacuum needed. It is all their.

[@ALinn-vr3nl]

great idea, in the shower, especially if cutting it by feel. thanks!

[@benjaminbrown5245]

@@ALinn-vr3nl well, sense my first reply about a year ago lol!!! I actually got another couple of clippers and trimmers sense then. They are vacuum ones. It just keeps the whole process neat and tidy. Yep i still have the other clippers but my favorite ones these days seem to bee the vacuum ones. Hahahaha!!! Those clippers not only cut the hair but clean it up at the same time cutting it while keeping the hair off of the floor and off of your neck.

[@darrenroslonsko5633]

I've been using the flow bee for 10 years. I love it! Got 3 other people to use it and they love it too! They still make them. I highly recommend it!

[@gzee3590]

Excellent tutorial... THANK YOU for speeding up the actually trimming parts. I can't steel you how enjoying it is to watch all of that mess.

[@jmarker35]

Aaron: Big ups to you man! Your video gives confidence to anyone attempting this for the first time and it worked perfect for me! You've got communication skills!

[@AaronStelle]

Glad it worked for you!

[@paulhirano4318]

Thanks. I just gave myself a haircut. Came out decent. I used to go every 3 weeks ($20). You earned a subscriber...

[@sprocket8934]

I've watched a bunch of these vidoes, and I think you nailed it. Well done. This is all we need, just something easy.

[@imaginationunreal]

Looks great! Thanks for the straight forward, no nonsense instructions. So tired of watching tutorials with wanna-be comedians and needlessly complicated fades etc.

[@AaronStelle]

imaginationunreal glad it helped!

[@jokr7818]

Thank you for this video. I just did my hair myself for the first time ever. I'm happy with the result and my wife was impressed. I'm also going tho buy a number 10 comb to get it al little longer on top. I had watched a few diy videos but this looks the easiest to do.

[@garyk57]

Actually, it looks pretty good Aaron! You saved yourself some money. I am considering cutting my own hair because I am tired of paying $25 for crappy haircuts. Your system is just backwards of all the other how-to haircut videos I see here on KZbin. They recommend starting at the bottom and working your way up with each change of the clipper guard. Your way seems to make more sense to me.

[@numbersixson3980]

You've convinced me to purchase the Barbershop Buzzer kit. You did a great job, and service to all others in desperate need of a haircut. Thanks again.

[@sparklesunshine6263]

i tried this and it's turn out very good and i don't think i will need to spend money on haircut anymore, quick tip muscle memory is more important than mirrors.

[@gothamelliott]

This is a GREAT video demo!!! The best I have seen out of the 20 or so I have watched. Congratulations, and thank you!!

[@bayguy900]

Watching your video gave me the confidence to think I can do this. I purchased the tools but was hesitant to try. I am going for it. Thanks.

[@AaronStelle]

I'm glad it helped

[@sheldontauman9904]

Way to keep a video simple and informative. My Wahl should be arriving in the next 10 days, and now I feel a bit more confident about doing this myself. (I love my hairstylist, but if this works out for me, I may just go to him when i need it to look perfect.) Thx, Aaron.

[@jasonmyjak5117]

Perfect video.. I always wondered if they had bigger clipper guards, I ordered some myself thank you

[@peggylimongi8794]

Interesting how this gentlemen cut his hair with the trimmer 3mm 4mm, 5mm, or 7mm with those attachments like combs very skilled. On sides, back and edges, many people use phillips trimmer, Braun or remington. Wow! to see different people who cut their hair during the Coronavirus COVID19 quarantine

[@jeffstumpf9129]

I don't think that was what he was doing. Notice how the hair was on the top of his head was much longer than 7mm? Here are the haircut numbers and their respective clipper guard sizes (lengths): Number 1 - one-eighth of an inch Number 2 - one-quarter of an inch Number 3 - three-eighths of an inch Number 4 - one-half of an inch Number 5 - five-eighths of an inch Number 6 - three-quarters of an inch Number 7 - seven-eighths of an inch Number 8 - one inch

[@mollylangevancouverwashington]

Your video is so useful! People love simple instructions!

[@salorjim1000]

Hey wanted to let you know of tons of videos I looked at to try to get an idea of how to cut my hair yours was by far the most useful. I have been trying to grow my hair into a pony tail but I was in bad need of a pro to clean it up. With lock down still upon us and plans to camp on my sailboats, motorcycles, and bicycles the short hair just makes more sense. Got the nerve today to do the job and although it is far from perfect I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. Don't want to over work it so I will let it grow out a bit than try to make some improvements as I get more comfortable using the clippers.

[@AaronStelle]

Glad to hear it helped!

[@andrewcox4068]

I use a 4mm or 5mm i then use. Zero guard. On sides and back. I use phillips trimmer. Or. Braun or remington. Or wahl. Thanks buddy its intersting to see different people who cut there hair. Ive been doing this for 6 years now. I am still going to the salons when they open up either may or june. Nice haircut. I have something similar to your Clippers. Im going to let my hair grow more to get like yours

[@johnhardwick1966]

Great video and advice looking forward to trying it.

[@nicolasduret7984]

Thank you so much for your precious advices ! I watched your vidéo a dozen Time and tried… the result is perfect. (Sorry for my english I’m French).

[@paulk5311]

going left handed was fairly impressive. some people are really one handed, like my wife for instance. i have always used both hands and can do most things with both except write. what was really impressive however was cutting the back with a mirror. everything is opposite in the mirror so that would require some practice and patience. nice job.

[@CafeToday408]

Thanks for helpful tutoring on self haircut. I did follow your instructions and cut my hair and kid's hair. They look very handsome now. I love it.

[@LuisSang]

Thanks dude. I thought it was difficult but you made it look easy.

[@paulbaker4109]

Excellent man! Your video has been of great help this days. Thanks indeed!

[@cashieracg8318]

Easy pesy wish i could get such attachments. Recently invested in MI trimmer and it does job well. Have cut my hair nicely

[@noel888]

I just bought what looks like the same Wahl your showing here. It was very informative...but it would be nice to show a close up on how you add a blade and remove it. ..also the instructions says to cut against your hair growth, not with it and do not wet it. Other demos here show different ways with different shavers, so what applies for one set may not apply for the other. I have not used mine yet, I wanted to see how its done and yours was the best..thank you.

[@wongmingfong]

多謝你的分享，原來這麼簡單就可以在家剪髮，我都要回家試試先。👍

[@Declan50]

Interesting, you did it in reverse. You did the top of sides before the bottom of the sides. Successfully so! Nice job.

[@RedRonFJB]

You have the exact hair color and gray/white accents i do but your hair is thicker....Great job

[@happierabroad]

You pretty much have to cut your own hair in America to not get ripped off, since they charge 20 bucks now for a haircut in the US plus they expect a tip too. What a ripoff. In Asia I'm used to getting 3 dollar haircuts and I don't even need to pay a tip. So I can't get used to 20 dollar haircuts in the US. No way. Crazy.

[@bzab334]

Thx for the vid. Confidence is high and so am I. Today is the day I cut my own hair.

[@quakeranger]

Well done. Awesome tutorial. Really build my confidence level, Thanks

[@perovato02]

That haircut is called tapper cut . I like it low #2 on the sides . This cut will last you a week , a low Fade cut will last you 2 weeks because it's shave on the side.

[@rollforever85]

very nice self cut.. quick and simple, but looks good!

[@dianecandoflamtaps9557]

That’s a fancy bathroom. Nice job!!

[@patterdaledivecave3545]

you make that look so easy bro thanks wish me luck tomorrow with mine

[@vonwane]

The Flowbee vacuum haircut system works well if you can find one to buy at a reasonable price.

[@anthonyb2990]

Hair looks great, probably gonna attempt this in a few days and I have a similar kit!

[@Mrrossj01]

Very excellent. Can you post the Amazon link to your first guide? I could not find it.

[@simplytruth9729]

Woman's (older) point of view----I think your hair looked great before and it looks great afterwards. Love the bit of gray;) Fantastico! Molto bene.

[@sygazon2318]

Excellent video Aaron. My haircut is very similar to yours and this worked an absolute treat. I found I had to go for lower blades than you though for some reason. My wife says it looks no different from the haircuts that I usually get. Thanks again.

[@jobula07]

Awesome video! Haircut done in less than 6 minutes. Look easy. I am going to try it. Thank you very much.

[@AaronStelle]

Happy to help!

[@harvbegal6868]

And all these clippers are now sold out, especially Wahl. I got some that finally shipped that will be here in a week, but I ordered 3 weeks ago.

[@AaronStelle]

This seems to be a common problem with everyone cutting their hair at home.

[@alan30189]

The Flowbee should be making a comeback. Apparently, they are still being made.

[@burtreynolds2969]

They have been selling like hotcakes! Were sold out at one point.

It actually completely works, I am challenged when it comes to guy hair cuts & I managed to do a good job.

[@rorycalhoun6484]

he's done this for a while. But you don't have to be a master on day one. Get the big parts done and you'll be OK. everything after the first two or three passes is just finesse for glamour. You don't have to be a Rembrandt on Day One. Hope you got a little done!

rory calhoun what do you mean passes? With the clippers?

[@rickyp9322]

Very nice! Great video!

[@BingWatcher]

Best haircut video and I have seen a lot. Unfortunately, I can't find a 1.25 inch comb anywhere. Guess I have to use a one inch number 8 on top. What do you think about that? I don't want to get too short of a haircut.

[@stevenvillarreal683]

Tried it with an 8. SUPER short. Looks like a slightly grown out buzz cut.

[@BingWatcher]

Thanks for sharing this information with me. I was wondering about the same thing for the number 8 comb

[@AaronStelle]

The #8 is definitely short. Here's the comb: wahlusa.com/products/number-ten-guide-comb-3142-400.html

i don't like going to the barber shop that's nice i liked it

Hey what way do you trim your eyebrows? That’s the only thing missing from this video

Would no. 8 open be for top?

Was the lever fully close or complete open when switching guards ?

[@CityBoy5705]

[@jameshuban6515]

Good video but watching this I have flashbacks of 1969, I was a 7th grader in a parochial school. There the nuns had a hair code. Your hair couldn't touch your ears or shirt collar. One Sunday night we just got home from aunt's house. My mom noticed my hair and instructed my older brother to trim my hair with her new Ronko razor comb. It was a small hand comb with a razor blade sandwiched between the halves. Well moving along with the comb I jerked my head as my brother combed from my center hairline towards the back of my head. This jerk resulted with a 2 inch white stripe. I looked like a skunk! We both looked into the mirror and burst out laughing until I realized that stripe was real. The tears quickly followed when my mom walk in and saw the damage. Think about it. This was the age of the hippies and I was a skunk! Well the next day I was in a barbers' chair while he basically shaved my head. Needless to say the razor comb went into the trash. It took almost 2 years to grow my hair back and my brother's girl friend couldn't understand why I had an inferiority complex:)

[@mks5988]

I want to buy like this big trimmer Noemi understood why the barber using this type, before I purchased Philips trimmer which has a small clipper and I lost that clipper also now the price of the plastic clippers price too high on online
