Used this for the first time, first time cutting my own hair, and I can’t believe it turned out so well. I took it slow, but this video was so reassuring as I went for it. Never had a buzz cut but why not? Also played the video back multiples times as I was cutting to make sure I got it! Thanks for your time and this video!

[@zuby985]

I did it! Thank you brave sir. I buzzed my hair for the first time on my own. No longer a self-buzzcut virgin! I need a shower.

My husband has been buzzing his hair for 13 years and it always looks super sexy. I always wondered how the heck he does that. Super fast too. Good luck everyone!

[@ashtonlambert3648]

Thanks for the video. Just buzzed mine after about 12 years of growing it out and I love it.

[@naes5943]

12 years 💀how long was it?

[@TinyWorlds]

Thank you! I looked at a bunch of tutorials and found yours to make the most sense and be the most relaxed ^^ Gonna give it a try.

[@TinyWorlds]

@T.J. I'm still waiting on my haircutting machine haha. 2 failed deliveries ^^

[@TinyWorlds]

@T.J. So I finally got around trying it and it didn't turn out awful! It took me wayyy longer tho cause I started with longer hair. Plus probably gonna ask my flatmate later for help with cleaning up the neck hair

[@swoozo_]

TinyWorlds nice I hope it looks good

[@lexbeltran1354]

My skull shape is perfect for a buzz cut haircut. I've been cutting my own hair for 6 yrs now

[@boogie8558]

This is great, man. Thanks. Won’t be trying the fade part anytime soon, I’ll just do the one-size all over to start off. The blending part is what I’m most nervous about.

[@SaptarshiRoySRoyPC]

That is called the 'burr cut'.

[@joescheller6680]

Really not necessary with a no 1 cut just trim ears and neckline and your done. With my hair you can mess around fading but two days of growth and not even aware of it.

[@rezat.ashtiani1338]

it's way past COVID-19 but this video helped a lot. Thank you!

It's actually not. They lied, rather successfully. My friend was buzzcutting my hair but she's not around much these days.

[@Dompe438]

Wow man thank you a lot. I've seen many tutorials for a buzz cut but you explain it so clear and make it so easy. My haircut is so neat now.

[@donnydingleberries]

i just used my pube mower and I've never stopped. Once or twice a year I shave it all off. First time looking up a guide. Helped a lot lol wish I saw this sooner

[@RDLC-pilot]

[@sonofaseawarrior]

Super directions mate. 👌 After looking like a 70s footballer for the last month... 😬 I borrowed a proper pair of WAHL barber clippers, watched this and just went for it. For a guy with shaky hands and a bit of an odd-shaped, balding skull it actually looks half decent. Will be sticking with the number 2 buzz cut all over from here on it. Cheers pal. 👍

[@Laureolus]

This gave me enough courage to use the clippers I bought six weeks ago with how easy you made it look. Thanks for uploading.

[@lexbeltran1354]

About 7 yrs ago, I started buzzing my own hair. The lady that cut my hair wouldn't cut it the way I wanted, so I decided to cut my own hair.

[@jameskieffer9339]

thanks for the video! loved it! going to attempt the quarantine buzzcut myself!

[@ld0p618]

Yea how did it go?

[@TheRibbonRed]

Dunno about him but the 6mm to 3mm guides on this vid helps for me. I don't have the 1.5 guard (as expected), and I only used a cheapo Chinese hair clipper, but aside from the minor imperfections like no shading on the back of the ears and on the neck... It's pretty good. Took me 1.5 hours for my first self-cut though.

[@rorycalhoun6484]

Nice to see Simon Pegg keeping his side gig!

[@ianrawlings2546]

Ok, made the first cut! I hadn't had a haircut in over 12 months, due to outrageous prices for terrible cuts in the remote Australian city I live in. Yep, no going back now. I don't have the short guards as in the video. But used a 3mm guide. Followed basic steps in this how to video. Although I couldn't get a proper blend/fade (neither can local barbers) gave myself a bloody good haircut. Thank you for an excellent video on how to use clippers! One tip, I went to a local giant hardware chain store and bought a really cheap plastic drop sheet in their painting section. Spread that out first then sat a stool in the middle before cutting my hair. Wrapped up the lot in one go afterwards. Two mirrors essential!

[@runesandmytics]

horrible barbers are an unspoken plague

[@354sd]

[@lexbeltran1354]

I buzzed my hair short for the first time this week. Your video gave me a lot of courage. Thanks. Sadly, I realized that my bald spot at the top is bigger than I thought so the next step is to shave it off. I haven't worked up the courage to do that yet.

[@jont8406]

Thankyou for posting this easy to follow tutorial. I have been attempting lockdown buzz cuts with varying degrees of success! After watching this video and purchasing .5 and 1.5 guards i have just completed a 5 star buzz( well i think so anyway) 👍

[@ianhobbs]

This a great video on how to do a buzzcut. I have been cutting my own hair due to the lockdown. I found that due to having fine hair a number 3 top and 2 on the sides works better for me. I have friend that is a hairdresser and she said shaving the neckline is very important. You said the same. Great video. 👍👍👍

[@katelivewire]

Thanks for this tip! I have fine hair as well, and I'm planning on shaving in a few days >.

[@chirilluncasu3221]

Tried to do it, went very well until I forgot to put the guard on after cleaning the clippers after doing the top. Had to go bald. But I really like the result, thank you for your help

[@stuckinthepastproductions4329]

"That hairline isn't as strong as it used to be." That's why I want to shave my own head down. At this point I should be getting a 50% discount at the barber's because they have to put in half the work lmao.

[@MEC10ZUERAS]

Hope i got all right: Start with 2 guard (it's 6mm), from front to back, keep the clipper nice and flat to the skull while cutting. Clean the hair between the blades throughout the cut, otherwise you'll have different heights forming shades on the head. After making all even, move to 1 guard (the 3mm) and pull the lever back, it will make the clipper rise a little bit and you'll get a 1.5 guard or 4.5mm. Start from the back and work only until the curvature of the head, don't go all to the top. Then push the lever back to place to have a hard 3mm cut, by leaning the head you can get to the side and back easily without going for the curvature, it'll blend the 4.5mm and 3mm pretty nicely. Make sure you go in different directions to cut all the hair and not leave shades on. To finish, use the 0.5 guard (1.5mm) or use the clipper without a guard tool with the lever pulled to form a 1.5mm distance between the blades. With this you are able to do the edges by scooping big spoons of ice cream out of it, this way your cut will not be sharp as commonly seen in homecut hairs.

My 3rd video and first one to talk about the sweeping motions. I can see that to be able to change to lower, closer settings. We are totally shut down again as of yesterday. Only 2 barbers in the town we retired to, so I’m going to try it on my BF. He is mostly bald anyway. We have a Wahl personal groomer. Was thinking to use that for cleaning up. Will see. I use power tools. Ha yeah, could get the chain saw out! Good instructions. Just rounds off the other videos I watched to be more confident. Thanks!

Hi. If I am using detachable blades for my oster classic 76. Would this be the correct detachable blade sequence to do this haircut? Start with detachable 2 guard all over. Clean blades throughout cut 1A blade and work up to the curvature of head. Don't go all the way to the top 1 - 1/2 blade. lean head away so I can get the sides without going over curvature of head Finish with a 1 guard and scoop out like ice cream

[@Hiker63]

Thanks for the video. I’m going to give it a try.

I always mess it up because i press too hard on some parts. So i just decide to shave it as short as possible which is suboptimal

Would this work if i used a #3 on top instead of the #2? Or would i have to alter the number guards afterward
