Thank you Ink😊

Downwards guard 3 I ment

[@nevartbabaian5354]

Michel, you work so hard teaching people how to cut their own hair I have been watching barbers for so many years I have never seen a barber work so hard teaching people how to cut their hair, God Bless you and thank you. God keep you safe.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Nevart, I made most of the self haircutting videos during lockdowns. They don't get as much attention now since barbershops re opened. But they were fun to do.

[@KevsChronicles]

This is sooo much better and easier than cutting multiple guide lines and then fading out the lines! Will definitely use this method to DIY my own fade cut, as soon as my clippers and 3 way travel mirror arrive. Thanks!

[@Arieh-Lael]

In my opinion you have the best tutorials! Thank you for keeping it on point and simple.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏

[@stuartroberts1409]

Just started cutting my own hair, your videos have been a great help. Thank you for making them and keeping them accessible to people like me. Awesome work 😊

[@theoneminutebarber]

You are so welcome!

[@johnchiluiza2841]

I have been cutting my hair for over 20 years but never do a close fade, only use a 3 guard all around but watching video was about to start close like a 1 guard and blend it all in, thanks

[@nevartbabaian5354]

You are an amazing barber the way you cut your own hair with a headband i loved it, you make hare cutting so simple and easy on all your hair cut, i enjoy watching your hair cuts very much, i have never seen a hair cutter so intelegent in explaining the different hair cut good for you for you beautiful hair cuts, bravo

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you so much Nevart 😁🙌

[@evelynhome2938]

just love the way it looks on you......and your music thanks for making it simple

[@theoneminutebarber]

😊😁

[@begbie672]

This video is packed full of excellent step by step information that must have taken sometime in the making. Thanks again for sharing...👍

[@theoneminutebarber]

I enjoyed making this one. It took a week to make. But it is labour intensive. I always feel relieved after putting a video out it's like a big workload has been lifted and it's time to relax. (With a beer of course 🍺) thank you for the compliments 😁

[@davidd5226]

Would love you to post a video on how to perform a modern mullet using clippers. Big fan of your channel too so keep it up!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks David. If I get the chance I will

[@CarlCzanik1]

Thanks for the great video. A short while ago I cut my hair using some of you other tutorials. I've now built up the courage to try - plus i've ordered a Wahl Senior.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Mate that's a great machine. The best. Good luck with your fade, just take your time, and do it in baby steps.

[@grayman4232]

Thanks great video I have this winter to practice until summer and saving money to lol.

[@donmichaelcorbin4417]

Thanks, great tutorial!

[@vandecken67]

Great video, decided to try and cut my own hair, first time round I could still see a slight ridge so the next day blened it more with your downward motion going with the hair. Worked great!! Thanks for the info mate, cheers.!

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

Awesome video,I never knew that the plastic clip on was called a guard until know.Know I know how to do a fade in cut.Thanks a million for such a thorough video tutorial.👍

[@theoneminutebarber]

Your welcome Reinhold 👍👍👍

[@thanushkamanju]

Its beautiful haircut 👌

[@scott4418]

I used your guide and it came out brilliantly thank you!

[@Brass-and-Bullets]

Absolute game changer for diy fades is a 3 way mirror you hang off your door.. it was for me anyway.

[@craigherriot4026]

Forget the hair, worship the beard. That thing is awesome.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Decent of you to say man. Although, one day, when my jaw line returns I will reduce it to stuble. only 70Llbs to go.😂

[@katholm8062]

This has been so helpful mate! Thanks 👍

[@tomstranney2234]

Thank u mate, gonna give this a go later on. Have cut my hair once already at home but wasn't as short on the sides as i usually like it

[@theoneminutebarber]

Cool Tom, just take your time, and good luck.

[@richieyyz]

Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video. I'll try this technique on my next haircut. Looking forward to trying the faded look.

[@charlielin2461]

Love your tutorials mate, great work. Just wondering if you have any examples of what it would look like if the clipper didn’t go straight up the ridge and went around it instead?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Charlie, I don’t have anything like that unfortunately.

[@pengembarayoutube5146]

nice self haircut, can you do buzz cut tutorial fade please

[@DocHoliday596]

Hello Michael thank you for the awesome tutorials. At 13:42 did you mean to say the half guard and not the one and a half ? Because then when you moved up you put on the one guard? I am sorry but it's so confusing when you are new to this like me. Cheers!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Yeah that is confusing. It's a 1.5 mm guard which actually is the same as the blade with no guard and the lever down. Both are 1.5mm Not many clippers come with a 1.5mm they aren't really necessary for some reason I like them. The number #1 guard on the other hand will say 3mm on it and is just a bigger step up. The best advice I can give is to visualise a gradual increase regardless of the numbers you use.

[@DocHoliday596]

@@theoneminutebarber I understand ,thank you for the reply. That is good advice. It's just that I am a complete beginner and try to do exactly the same as you do because I am scared I will mess up lol so I obsess over the details.

[@DocHoliday596]

@@theoneminutebarber i wanna say i did your number 3 only haircut with a cheap clipper with no lever and got very good comments from everyone. You are great at what you do thank you.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks Tony, it's the easiest hack. Glad it helped.

[@misterbob8834]

Hi Michael. Great video as usual. Can I make a video topic request? It is a few weeks until you are due for a haircut, but you have an event to attend which you want to look your best for. A video to do a quick clean up around the edges? Thank you!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks Bob, I've got this video on neck hair but I can expand on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jZdqaeerhooNk

[@misterbob8834]

@@theoneminutebarber Hi Michael, the neck hair video was great, but an all encompassing video was what I was thinking. Yes, the back, the front neck, around the ears, the fringe up front and of course the hair growing out of the ears for the geezers, like me. Basically a clean up front to back to make your appearance presentable between haircuts. Thanks for your consideration!

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

Just want to say thanks for these tutorials. You have a very natural teaching style which has giving me the confidence to fully cut my own hair now. I’m doing a .5 to a 2 on the back and sides and point cutting the top (which I learnt to do separately). Please keep the videos coming with regards to self haircuts and any further hints and tips will be well appreciated. Would you also consider making videos reviewing the equipment you use or we novice self cutters could look to buy, suggestions on what to buy and what to avoid etc etc?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Yes I'll definitely be making making videos along those lines. And thank you for your comments, it makes it worthwhile to know my videos are genuinely helping someone 😁🙌

[@philliplanos]

Brilliant brother!

[@bluecavemen]

how do you do a drop or low fade without going to high up? my problem is that i glasses so it hard to cut my hair. i did try the silicone band and used the clippers with the fade it works but i did cut a lot shorts on my left side dont remember how did it. again i wasnt wearing my glasses at the time so it was hard to tell what i did wrong. i just need more practice

[@theoneminutebarber]

I can give you a really good tip. Just fold up one leg of your glasses and put them back on. That frees up that side of the head. Then swap

[@bluecavemen]

@@theoneminutebarber i have it. it hard. because i focus on cutting my hair right meanwhile im also worry about balancing my glasses on my nose without it falling off.

[@tonithenightowl1836]

I would be scared shitless to try this.... it looks like I'm going to need a victim, I mean a volunteer. At least you explained and demonstrated it with aplomb for those brave enough to give it a shot lol :o)

[@theoneminutebarber]

It is a bit tricky. But the main thing is take your time

[@chrispawlina7500]

im too old for a bald bit in winter time. but nice tips

[@povmonyneathmorm3320]

Thanks

[@raymondbavaro5911]

Michael - I wear glasses. From your other videos, I have learned how to use the clippers without my glasses. This fade looks like glasses will come in handy. What do you recommend?

[@theoneminutebarber]

You can fold up one leg and put them on. Then cut around the ear area that is free, then swap positions. Then once you are finished the ears just complete the rest of the cut with your glasses on.

[@raymondbavaro5911]

@@theoneminutebarber Thank you Michael....I tried your suggestion, but my glasses don't cooperate. This morning I cut my hair and it came out pretty good. I am getting good with the back also, with experience. No glasses while using the clippers, then I put them on to see how it looks and make adjustments. Thanks for responding.

[@hollyhanks3399]

Hello mate could u tell me were I can get one of them cheats pencil would appreciate it pal love the vids mate

[@theoneminutebarber]

Hey Holly you can get them on Amazon. There are lots of different brands out there

[@devbachu7072]

Look nice

[@joshuamylesgibson]

Hey Michael, I cut my sons hair to save money. I start at the crown using the longest guides, then work down grabbing shorter and shorter guides as I get to the bottom. Do you advise against this method? Thanks! I just ask because you start with the shortest from the bottom. Is it just a matter of preference?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Both methods work. It's completely personal preference

[@markwatt718]

Love the videos I've only started cutting my own hair since lockdown only ever went 1 on the sides but this video makes me wanna try a home fade, any tips????? Could you tell me the order of the clippers for the sides please?

[@theoneminutebarber]

A couple of tips. Keep your bald line low. And take your time. For me I always work in the same order. Zero Quarter Half One One and a half Two. And just move my line up a little on each change.

[@markwatt718]

@@theoneminutebarber does it matter if you go zero then one because my clippers don't have the thing one the side to go to a quarter then half ????

[@theoneminutebarber]

You will find it extremely difficult to 'rub out' the line between the one and the zero without the lever. I have a set without a lever and have tried it. My conclusion is that it's impossible

[@egvideos7093]

Nice Video!! you should do one with a clipper that doesn't have a lever 😢😢😢. mine doesn't have!!!

[@theoneminutebarber]

You can work without a lever. The lever allows small increment changes. But you can either move through the guards or bend the clipper away. I do have a clipper without a lever though so may do that.

[@egvideos7093]

Can you blend this with a top that is long? (like 1 inch or a number 7)

[@brendandevine515]

Hey great videos man thanks. I'm looking to buy my first decent set of hair clippers but the ones your using to fade are a bit out of my price range.. could you recommend any clippers around £100?

[@theoneminutebarber]

Absolutely. Magic clips by Wahl. 👍👍👍

[@brendandevine515]

Thanks 👍

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you for the Kofi support Brendan. I really appreciate it. Good luck with the clippers. I know many, many pros that use magic clips, infact until the seniors came out literally everyone was using magics.

[@brendandevine515]

Thanks man.. is there any other budget ones you would recommend? Just thinking £100 might be over my price range now

[@theoneminutebarber]

Andis US Pro Cordless Lithium Ion Clipper are marginally cheaper. And quite similar in quality. They also have fade blades out of the box I think. Or half the price nearly and I've heard they are quite good. Electric Head Jog Titanium Pro-Air Clipper Plus I see them in professional salon suppliers. I've never used them but head jog have a decent rep.

[@smo3496]

Can you tell me who the music is done by?

[@theoneminutebarber]

SMO mo I use tracks from epidemic sound and envato elements. If I get a chance I'll look back at what music I was using

[@smo3496]

Very cool, THANK YOU!

[@davidlugh]

Hi Michael...Is a fade ever appropriate for a balding man? Thanks

[@theoneminutebarber]

What would make it inappropriate I suppose is the question there. I wouldn't say anything is inappropriate if it's done well and with intention.

[@davidlugh]

@@theoneminutebarber So it could still look good and not weird if the guy is balding?

[@davidlugh]

balding guys like me are often told just to shave it off or keep it really short so wanted to know if you'd ever do a fade on a balding man?

[@theoneminutebarber]

No it would look totally fine. The fade is really just how the sides are finished. If your not going bald on the sides then you can do anything you want there. If you are thinning on top just deal with that separately.

[@NotaHuskywolf]

Literally stop
