brother I cant thank you enough for this! I'm going through a divorce right now and my ex was a hair dresser and 3x a year she could clean me up lol. Now I can do it on my own and honestly my hair looks better then she ever did it! Also had people at the local market look it over and said it looked top notch! Not all heros wear capes, some make youtube videos helping peasants lol

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm so pleased to hear that thank you and well done for making a good job 👍👍👍👍👍

[@wxonwxoff]

I can see why she left, you are a cheapskate. The claim you made that you do a better job than she did is either you are bitter or she's a real terrible hairdresser. Or, she fucked up your hair on purpose.

[@5lim5hadyAftermath]

I can feel your pain brother. Divorce can be very very ugly. Good luck to you man. I'm fixing to cut my own hair for the very first time. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how it went

[@Rick-fk1gn]

I realize this is 2 years late, but our budget at home has gotten really tight so I needed to cut even some of the small things now. I watched your video a few times, and took a chance I could do it without making myself look silly. Your method in this video worked beautifully. I just wanted to thank you for this knowledge.

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Thank you Democrats, thank you Biden.. Unfortunately, it is going to get exponentially worse.

[@alexshewan]

FINALLY. It's rare to get a simplified explanation of a haircut that is supposed to be non-complicated. Super easy to follow along! Great work.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Alex 👍👍👍🙌

[@Raven__70]

I've been clipping my own barnet for well over 20 years & today I discovered your tutorial, I've gotta say it's the best haircut I've ever given myself, even me Ma commented on how nice it looked, and she rarely notices!🤣 Thank you for your excellent tutorials, I wish I'd found you sooner! 😆

[@theoneminutebarber]

You are so welcome! And welcome to the channel

[@petewoodhead52]

My wife and I both like short hair. We just bought clippers and are now learning from you. A genuine public service. Thanks Michael!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks Pete good for you both. And thanks for watching 😁

[@sebastianalhares]

I watched dozens of self-haircut-tutorials. This is the only one that actually taught me to do it without looking like a donkey. Thank you so very much. Listening to that wonderful accent sure doesn't hurt.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Sebastian 😁

[@shanegignac2959]

Glad seen this I'm getting ready to now. I'm just nervous cause mines a lil longer ontop so ima try to use like a 4 clipper not the 2 . N if 4 is to long ill go to 3 atleast lol wish me luck uhhh boy lolol

[@shanegignac2959]

Awesome u did say wat I thought go with higher number guard thank God

[@modocarisma]

Here's my personal story: I'm now 29, and I've been getting my hair cut by barbers since I was 15. Before that, my mother used to cut it, but you know how complicated and stressful that can be, especially if you don't have the best relationship with your mom. By December 2023, I hadn't cut my hair for two months, and it was really long (I usually cut it every month). My girlfriend asked if I had ever thought about buying clippers to cut my own hair at home. So, I bought a Kemei clipper, and since then, my girlfriend's been cutting my hair. However, she always gets nervous during the cut, so I decided to learn how to do it myself. That's when I discovered Michael's KZbin channel and his amazing way of teaching. He made it so simple and straightforward that anyone, even those who don't know anything about barbering, can do it themselves. Honestly, I don't know if I'll ever return to a barbershop, maybe for a special occasion, but definitely not regularly. There's something incredibly satisfying about being able to do it yourself. It's not just about saving money. Michael, I want to thank you for the wonderful videos you've made. You've made a difference in a lot of people's self-esteem.

[@theoneminutebarber]

My pleasure I’m so glad to hear the video was useful 🙏

[@takesmoneymakemoney]

Cutting with the grain is a game changer. Also, that blending technique is genius

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thanks Brian 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Gooniessss]

This guy just helped me get my first half decent cut since lockdown. I've watched many vids but this guy simplifies it. Too many people are trying to do fades at number 1's and 2's who have never even picked up clippers before or, don't realise how you need the right lighting and mirrors. I'm going to miss my dumb and dumber bowl cut 😂

[@ChannelAA]

The best self haircut video I have seen so far. Thanks.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you 😊

[@Bournvillan]

My barber of 30 odd years retired and after being mocked by my kids for being reluctant to find someone else (and being called a hobo) I found your guide and the results are surprisingly good. Fooled the family into thinking I'd finally found a new barber anyway. Thank you so much.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Ah that's pretty good they can't tell the difference. Thanks villan 👍👍👍

[@TeresaMom1]

I cut my older son & my husbands hair at home with clippers and have been for quite awhile now and I have watched many hair cutting videos for extra info, but it's hard to find videos that show just using clippers and finally I found your videos and this is one of the better videos. So Thank you.

[@natashafleming5990]

Have just cut my husbands hair, we are in lockdown month two. You need to be given a noble peace prize, for sharing this. A brilliant teacher, short and sweet, and too boot my husband is looking oh so great! Lesson learnt 2 mm is not a No2 👀

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's awesome Natasha, I'm guessing you are in Australia? Hope everything gets back to normal for you soon

[@DevSprout]

Thanks a lot! This worked out great for me.

[@theoneminutebarber]

You're welcome!

[@sithknight7740]

I just tried this, didn't have an extra mirror so I had to call a friend and he helped me with the back of the head. It went surprisingly well even with how I adjust based off what my barbers do and how my hair/head is. Thank you for existing

[@jnuttso1]

Thanks to your videos I can now cut my own hair things I have had to learn 1. Keep a long fringe it can hide a lot of mistakes 2. not to go to high on the sides with the clippers halfway is enough when cutting upwards no higher then use the clippers downwards with a higher blade down the side of your head not to high 😊 3. not using 0 blades when you're learning 2 onwards is best 4. Always wet your hair when cutting the top with scissors 5. Have a hat or a hoodie handy 😉

[@mokuho]

I've been cutting my hair for 30 years and I've never found an explanation as useful and precise as this one... thank you very much for uploading this video! 👍

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Miguel 😊

[@joshcarter9795]

Been cutting my own hair for the last year (for obvious reasons) and this is revolutionary. For anyone else staring at their reflection thinking "Am I really going to take this razer to my head? Oh god I'm going to be bald" just take the plunge, you'll be as surprised and as pleased as I was with the results! Thanks for making this video, you've saved me a couple of hours of pain a month 😂

[@larrybeavens7580]

This is the first video I’ve watched that advocates cutting with the grain rather than against it. I’ve really struggled trying to go against the grain, so I’m definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the video!

[@marcstuart7478]

This really is an excellent guide. I’ve cut my hair a few times during lockdown and it always takes me ages. End up spending an hour or so trying to correct mistakes but this is so straight forward. Cutting with the grain is an absolute game changer for me. Thanks Michael

[@daviddoan68]

I have always been scared to cut my own hair but after watching this video I can't wait to try it. Thank you very much.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Good luck David

[@SpicyWoodsman]

Okay, so I just finished my first haircut using this video. I cannot believe how well it came out. The part on how to cut the hair on the top of the head...why does no one else ever mention this in their videos? It is incredible. That was always the part that baffled me; I knew using scissors and a comb was too advanced. This technique is so simple. It was a little bit stressful seeing so much hair being removed (it has been a long while since I had a haircut), but it came out great. This is literally the only video I needed. Thanks.

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's absolutely brilliant Mondriano. I'm so pleased to hear comments like this 😊 well done.

[@carlrayner7648]

I never thought I could cut my own hair and it was really depressing me but watched your video and did it in an hour and it went great so massive thank you. If I can do it anyone can just the way you showed. Well done mate you're a life saver 😁

[@theoneminutebarber]

Brilliant Carl, I always say if you look good you feel good. I'm glad I could help 😊

[@r532p]

What a fantastic video! I want to say that your encouragement to the viewers throughout the video sets you apart from others. I think the hardest part for people cutting their own hair is the worry of making a mistake. And it helps when you point out how to start conservatively and what to focus on and what to not worry too much about.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed 😀

[@SmoothRiker]

Thank you so much for making these videos! I just did my own haircut for the first time and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! I used higher clips because I don't like to go quite so short, but the techniques are the real key. If it looks this good for a first try I can't wait to see how I improve over the next few cuts!

[@Rafa-xl4uf]

You taught me how to get a haircut on my own. I've been doing it since this summer and it gets better every time. Thanks to this video, I learned how to shade the sides. Thank you my teacher.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Awesome Rafal. I bet your haircuts get better every time. I'm glad to hear the techniques are working for you.

[@Andrew-zh7ts]

Thanks to your videos I've cut my own hair five times now. I bought some Wahl clippers off Ebay during the first lockdown and was brave enough to cut my own hair after watching one of your videos. I use number 8 (25mm) on top and usually number 3 at the back and sides. I haven't been brave enough to use number 2 or 3 to go down the back and sides to blend it in more...but I might do now after watching this video ! 👍

[@theoneminutebarber]

Its a bit of a leap of faith that first time the clipper goes into the sides but it does work. Good job for having a go at your own hair 🙌👍

[@mrtheluckybucket]

I just did it myself for the first time today thanks to your vid. It was way clearer than the vast majority that I found, not only that, it instilled a confidence that I had not had before. The cut turned out better than my local barbers- and for free. Thanks, dad.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Awesome lucky bucket. That's exactly what I hope viewers get. Good on you for giving it a go 💪👍

[@kunalrye]

I’ve been cutting my own hair since March 2020. Just came across this method, by far the easiest way to get as close as you can to the barbershop in very little time. Thanks!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Kunal 😁

[@kunalrye]

@@theoneminutebarber When I do go back to the barber how do I ask for this exact haircut?

[@theoneminutebarber]

I think the best way is to show him the video.

@@theoneminutebarber haha, sounds good thanks!

Been cutting my own hair for years. Decided to watch your video to see how you do it..... and what has always been an hour long, incredibly stressful time.... was suddenly easy and completed in less than 20 minutes. Thank you! Brilliant video and now, thanks to you, I have a great haircut!

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's absolutely brilliant to hear. 😁👍👍👍🙌

[@stuartbore4683]

Was really fed up with my hair that had been looking more and more untidy since December: so I took the plunge, watched some of your videos and bought myself some clippers. It turned out really well, mainly because of your clear simple instructions - thanks.

[@KageManTV]

Thank you. This is the best video on the net for men to cut their hair. You saved a lot of trouble and fear going outside and I could do it myself

[@SpicyWoodsman]

I've watched too many self-haircut videos. This is by far the best. Breaking each step down to super simple techniques is great. Thanks.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Mondriano 👍🙌

[@radium1977]

Seriously. Really good 👍

[@PaperbagWriter]

By far the best video on KZbin, best thing is after doing the process 5+ times it gets way easier+faster and you understand how to adapt it to your hair. Thanks so much!

[@zacharyrgordon]

Man I wish this video came out in March of 2020!! This is the most helpful self cut video on KZbin. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@saintsteve]

All I can say is WOW! My wife and I followed your advice and we used a 3 on the sides and 4 on top. The results are truly impressive. Thanks so much for the video, absolute legend!

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm glad it helped. Thanks St. Steve 🙌

[@markwass2615]

Watched this last night as my barnet had got totally out of control and my girlfriend scalped me last time she tried with my clippers. Did it today and really happy with the result, thank you so much fella!

[@benspencer564]

After watching this guide, I cut my own hair for the second time ever. It looks so much better than last time. Thank you for the clear and detailed walkthrough!

[@shotakuervo]

The blending of the side technique/tip was very helpful. I have straight hair and this is the number one problem I have of getting the visible line to not be so noticeable. Thank you.

[@starscream5813]

Hello, I followed from another one of your videos to this one which you linked for me the other day. I followed it almost exactly but had to take my glasses off (very short sighted and I’m disabled in my hands) even with these issues the hair cut came out a solid 9 out of 10. Exactly the same as I get from the barbers. Thank you very much for this video it will save me a lot of pain and money.

[@TPhoenix602]

Thanks for the technique. This is the first time here. I have been cutting my own hair over 20 years, high and tight fade. As I am getting older, I am starting to like the length of your final result. The new challenge includes my unmanaged beard.

[@philversion1383]

I found this channel when looking for beard trimming tips. After watching this, gave me the confidence to try the self haircut myself. Haven’t looked back since, thanks so much for this sir, you’ve literally changed my life ❤️❤️👍👍. I’ve converted a lot of my friends to the self haircut also, amazes me more people aren’t doing this! Thankyou

You are very welcome Phil 😃

[@mandih1114]

I've watched so many videos, but this one is the BEST of them all. Thank you

[@PaquiCamus]

Thank you, Michael your videos are really a saver. I have been cutting my own hair since a retired plus my grandson. Your technique is incredible and easy to follow. The Occipital Ridge has always given me so much trouble. Usually, I ended up with something like horns or Mohican style. Considering that I am almost 80 years is OK for me but not for my wife and granddaughters. I like to go to the barber every two or three months and they make a lot of fun with my hairstyles.

[@paulgarcia1147]

Followed this last night and finally got the best self-cut I’ve ever tried. Great video. Thanks.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Nice one Paul 🙌👍

[@ahuramazda980]

I am impressed. I have never seen this method where you run the clippers downward to get a fade. I always see barbers go upward. Interesting tips. Thank you for sharing mate, from USA.

[@garylaycock]

Just wanted to say thanks. I cut my own hair today following your guidance in your video. I’m really happy in how it came out. I like your simple and easy techniques to cutting your own hair. Big cheers!

The cutting from top to bottom is amazing. It can be difficult to cut against the direction your hair grows and get a clean look. Thanks! Amazing!

[@theoneminutebarber]

I totally agree!👍

Thanks for a solid beginner haircut video! I feel confident I can do this myself and have been wanting to try a self-cut but was afraid I'd butcher my hair. Appreciate your simple approach for newbies!!

I saw a lot of videos and I cut my own hair since the lockdown. I did it a few times and I am very happy with it. It seams I´ve got talent but this video helped me a lot with the technic. Cutting with the grain is a very good idea. This video is the best selfcut video I´ve watched on youtube. It´s so easy to follow the steps. I think everybody can do it with this technic.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm so glad you found it useful San Diego. And well for acquiring some new skills.

[@coyote.redfire]

I bought a hair clipper set for Christmas and gave myself first haircut today using your clear, concise, informative and entertaining instructional video. I learned a lot and felt confident. My first haircut, I'd rate myself an 8.5/10...with practice it'll get better! Thanks mate, couldn't have done it without you ✌️ PS. The "phaser" blow dryer 😆 PS2. as a woman with a longer hairstyle, I used an 8 on top, 7 on the side, 6 on neck taper. Fantastic results with your "cut with the natural direction" method.

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's brilliant I love to hear the method is working for people. 😁

This is the easiest tutorial i have ever seen for mens haircut with clipper only. I couldn't understand any other tutorials but this. I gave my bf some terrible patches and funny layers with clipper and comb technique during 1st lockdown so i was really scared to cut his hair again. But you saved me with this video. I was a lot calmer and confident doing your techniques. I must say I have done pretty good job this time and very proud of myself .Many thanks to you.

[@theoneminutebarber]

Well done Alija I'm so happy it helped you. And good on you for doing it.

[@Setright]

Thanks AGAIN! Third time done. Getting more confident and finally got it almost as short as my barber does. Very conservative the first two times, which meant I needed a new trim 2 weeks later. This time should last my usual 4 weeks. I keep about an inch and half on top, so fading/merging takes patience for a newbie!

[@vbhruleia]

Wow! Just did it my own and I can’t believe the result. Thank you for this video! It took some courage and self confidence, but the instructions are clear enough to help those who have no idea of how to begin.

[@samleahy7752]

Brilliant tips tried it just there the top turns out so well , only bit I found tricky was cutting the back of the head up top and blending it with the sides , thank you 👍

[@tomatoes3]

Thank you Michael , a video that shows how its done. Off to have a go, will come back later and tell you. Back 30 mins later, looks ok , luckily I have curly hair .Wife did it and were still speaking .

Great video, and tips.. Been clipping my hair 4 yrs, winging it. Used your steps, blended the lower sides, had it perfect. But then started blending the upper part down with same attachment in poor light.. .. Suddenly noticed I was taking big chunks off.. Oops..... Ended up buzzing whole head over with a 2... But that's OK.. I'm in Vegas, and it's starting to get HOT 🤣

It can get addictive. the important thing is that you are happy with it.

Thanks for the experience ❤

[@Alf.G]

Excellent content, thanks so much. I actually found your channel searching for ways to correct the haircut I had today at a local barber. Third time that I've been there and will not be returning. I finished barber school and passed bar exam myself many years ago, so I'm always patient and polite to people cutting my hair. Truly wish I could find someone with your skill local to me in the hill of Kentucky !! The older generation has all retired and left no one to teach the youngsters.

[@theoneminutebarber]

I'm glad you found my channel Bobby and hope you find some useful tips here. I totally understand the loss of skill in the trade. I've seen it happen over 18 years now in the industry. Scissor work has taken a back seat to clipper work for about the last 5 or 6 years now. There hasn't been a lot of emphasis on scissor skills. But I feel it's changing and young barbers are beginning to take a real interest in what they can do with scissors.

[@Alf.G]

Definitely gained some useful tips, and will be sharing your channel with friends and family. Totally agree with you on the subject of shear work. I was taught how to cut hair with shears over comb before I was allowed to use clippers. It has a very relaxing effect on people, rather than a loud clipper in their ears. Plus many more advantages. I do see the technique and interest coming back into the industry but unfortunately just not in my area. Thank you again for the great content and sharing your skills!

[@ganbaatarkh]

I cut my hair myself since 9 years. First it was quite difficult. I watched a lot of youtube tutorials. However yours was the best and most pragmatic tutorial i ever watched. Will test some of your techniques (like the trimming the bulk) tomorrow. Very cool!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Ganba, good luck 👍👍👍

[@hqiu1976]

Thank you so much! I have tried many different youtuber for cut hair by myself during the COVID19 period. It is difficult to fade it correctly and also control the length on the top. Your instruction is the most effective and safe proof method to cut my hair. Yes, it require a little bit patience and manage with both hand and a mirror, but this one is the simplest ever i have learnt to cut my own hair. Thanks a lot! You have done a fantastic job, and I really appreciate!!!!

[@christopherstoyanoff330]

Great video!!! It has given me the confidence to cut my own hair every two weeks (nice to feel a clean cut), all while using the Wahl Clipper Lithium Ion Cordless Kit. During full Covid lock down I was hesitant at doing a cut just once a month, when using others guidance. Your coaching and this video in particular shows us a fool proof blending method that completes the cut. I will be adjusting the comb attachments to vary my hair length based on Summer or Winter needs. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I don't comment often but I had to. I've been cutting my own hair for nearly a decade. And before that I had the barber do the same hairstyle for me. Just a really basic one. This is without a doubt, the nicest haircut I've ever had. Even my sister was shocked by the difference. I've still gotta figure out how to transition the back a bit better, like you did. But this was an amazing and easy hairstyle tutorial. Thank you!

There are a couple of useful tutorials that I've been using to good effect for my first attempts at cutting my hair, and the tip for thinning your hair by using the clippers following the hair direction instead of going against it works really well.

The first video, they used a scissors on the top, I am on blood thinners, so I didn't want to try that, I put on your video, watched part of it, paused it did what you did, watched a little more, it turned out AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

What a great explanation! I've been trying to do this for months and just butchering my hair. I'm going to try this now. Thanks 👍

Bought some clippers today and my wife got to work after watching this video. She did a great job and said this was really helpful and without it I'd probbaly have ended up with #2 all over. Many thanks.

Well done to your wife Daniel. So glad the video helped 👍👍👍

I have been cutting my own hair since 1969. I almost don't need mirrors to trim my medium length hair. I usually strip down to cut just before a shower. Takes 5 minutes every couple of weeks.

Thanks for taking the one to post this vid. Excellent.

Best tutorial on this so far. Thanks, really. The best.

I cut my own hair for more than a year, but never really liked the result.. Just watched this video and the only thing I can say is THANK YOU! The best haircut video ever!

[@theoneminutebarber]

Thank you Mateus 😁

Have followed this man's videos before and they are brilliant. Cutting my own hair during lockdown using his method . It works so well I can not believe it. I use a small Remington clippers . But when I cut my boys hair they complain it pulls the hair a bit. Would anyone recommend a good cordless clippers to buy. Nothing crazy expensive , but good for a DIY .

Followed this earlier , albeit it took over 2hrs approaching with caution and stop and starting the video while battling a bar stool, gigantic bedroom mirror resting on my lap and attempting not to drop it. Ended up just doing a number 4 on side , so mine looks like it's 2 weeks in to a fresh trim but better than 3 months of worth of annoying hair ; even if the barbers do open in 3 weeks! Couldn't wait any longer. Like the trick of bringing the clippers forward instead of cutting it against it. Didn't do fringe but looks ok to brush over. Might even try it again with 2/3 before visiting the barber. Thanks Michael

Well done Aaron. That's good to hear. Let's face it, it's never going to be what the barber can do for you, but good you've got something decent to tide you over

[@ianparker3014]

brilliant. been doing my own like this since watching your video in first lockdown. scary doing that top first time but love it now! I like it longer at front than back so playing around with different guides 2/3 seems to work!

[@ianboyce1262]

I came across your channel in the first lockdown and have always cut my own hair ever since You’ve saved me a fortune in haircuts cheers !!

[@harveyking5038]

mate excellent vid. Im here in Australia and everything is locked down. I'm gonna try to cut my own hair but do u reckon it's easier to cut slightly damp hair rather than fully dry?

[@theoneminutebarber]

For this cut it needs to be dry. The rule of thumb is basically dry for clippers, wet for scissors. If you clipper wet the hair will bunch together and not feed into the clipper blade very easily

[@nuevouser2279]

Same here mate! I live in Canberra and I'm about to do the same thing (first time) xD

[@patbrosnan3385]

Fantastic video. Suffering for months with long tangled hair. Watch video, went to the local Tesco's and bought a hair clipper. My wife thought I sneaked in a barber while she was out, It turned out that well. All down to the video. Well done and thanks

[@theoneminutebarber]

That's amazing to hear Pat nice one 🙌🙌🙌

[@vantutran8427]

Thanks for your video. But there are many kind of trimmers. I need to know how many mm when you use. Thanks !

[@theoneminutebarber]

In this video I use 6mm on the side and 10mm on top

[@vantutran8427]
