How to Remove a Weight Line in a Haircut - TheSalonGuy

I have seen many videos on people attempting to cut their hair themselves which usually turns into a disaster. In this video, I share how to remove those horrid weight lines that you see when you attempt to cut your own hair or on a client in a salon.

This is one of my favourite video. I really do have a problem with blend it. I keep looking at your video every night before sleeping so I can remember for moring

[@kevinwinfree4600]

I just wanted to say that your videos are very helpful. I am currently a master barber student about to graduate and feel like there is still a lot to learn, and just wanted to thank you for all your videos!

[@cskdelphi]

Great tutorial video. I do my own haircut on occasion and just use a longer attachment like a 5 or 6 on the sides and back and then use the thinning shears to blend the weight line as best as possible using two mirrors in the bathroom. Hey, it's free, so, you can't expect perfection! I do get compliments though...takes practice.

[@CaseyHarris]

It's sad but I paid 14 grand for a Cosmetology license that in reality, only prepared me for State Board. Of course I didn't realize that until I went to work in a Salon. As far as Clipper Cuts, that was something I struggled with for years and still do sometimes depending on the head shape/hairlines of certain Clients. Depressing because I just learned more from this video than the 11 months I had in Hair school all those years ago. 😳

[@TheSalonGuy]

Sorry to hear that happened to you, Casey. I'm glad that you found this video helpful, though!

[@pattymelt524]

We’re all in that same boat.

[@bettertoolatethannever]

14 grand! unbelievable!

[@rambam69]

Proves college isn't the way to the American Dream anymore.

[@IllyrianPrince14]

Casey Harris thats why i didnt go to barber school

[@colleenewanchyna7991]

Well done!. I trained 25 years ago. Thinning shears is perfect to blend as is "point cutting". My Men's Haircut Model in PivotPoint Cosmetology School was my husband (of 31 years this year), who has a perfect head of hair and square jaw. In fact, before I got my license he modelled for Men's Cut Competitions, and his two different stylists won a First and a Third Place. : )

[@chriss8328]

I watched one video and have been cutting my hair since for around 9 months now and it’s been looking great - and I’ve been getting compliments. Cut your own hair it’s cheaper and you get it down by the 3rd time or so

[@perky26hughes]

& it's also really therapeutic to do :-) (once you actually know exactly what you're doing of course!)

[@mikebakee4388]

Clear instruction. So many tutorials don't explain what blade size they're using. Others seem to think that speaking very loudly will help us to understand better. Clear calm explanation of every step works for me every time. thanks:)

[@kevindinh2334]

Would like to see a video of removing the weigh line with clipper guard attachments :)

[@MagashiSaizen]

Hair cuts are getting more expensive every year, sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands and hope for the best. LOL

[@BlastCODM]

I tried and failed, my hair looks like a mushroom head. . Im preparing myself for work tomorrow lol i can already hear the corworkers laughing 😂😂😂😂😂

[@PookeTard]

This video was so helpful! I have a lot pf trouble with weight lines in mens haircuts especially on the sides and with the really short guards like the 1 and 2. I'll definitely try the scissor over comb technique.

[@rickytanwar9718]

Dude I’m so glad I came across this video. I’ve literally been struggling with this same exact thing. I’m going to throw this in my system tomorrow at the shop. Hoping it works!

[@stephendodsworth1694]

Thank you! I have been cutting my own hair since COVID, and occasionally end up with harder than desired line on one side. I'll be grabbing a pair of thinning sheers now!

[@taurustarot8939]

I’m a very new stylist and men’s cuts are a huge source of anxiety for me, thank u for these videos

[@evalopez3631]

does the hair grow back on those dolls

[@steph1921]

You just squeeze the head and the hair comes out

[@parcic7991]

Eva Lopez yes

[@zkmcdowel]

It's a chia pet

[@nuntana2]

BeetlepimpFan A bit like humans lol

[@stealthartex7162]

The hair never grew back on my Barbies ☹

[@robbrown6240]

Thank you for the tip on using a comb and thinning scissors will do that next time and hope for an even better result.

[@daisyguerrero9026]

this helped so much! I just graduated cosmetology school and have been struggling with blending my smaller guards. thank you!

[@jessn.2665]

You're a life saver. I sort of screwed up my boyfriend's hair, (though I did a better job than he usually does, and he thought it was adequate😂) because he has to cut his hair every two weeks into a high and tight for the Air Force, and there's no way we can afford to go to a barber every time. So thank you, it will go a lot better next time.

[@florida_grl_43beach11]

Thanks for showing us how to get rid of that weight line. I am trying to conquer the scissor over comb method. I am a 2 year cosmetologist and when you are taught in school to use the guards and then shown in the real world scissor or clipper over comb...one would be like, huh? I am still learning and getting more and more comfortable doing the method you have shown in this video. Thanks Steve!

[@TheSalonGuy]

Aw!!! Just practice in my opinion!!

[@audiepaudie1249]

Thank you sir! It’s amazing how cosmetology school could not show me this .

[@brookebabin2443]

Thank you so much for this video. I cut my husbands hair and he's been wanting me to blend his weight lines better.

[@p.r.r.8838]

Awesome video! I've been a barber for many years and it's true that you learn something new and EASIER everyday!

[@bradleygerdes138]

quickest most efficient barber method would be fading up to 1 1/2, or 2 (plastic guard or metal blade) and clipper over comb for blending. if you use thinning shears where the hair isn't properly blended, some hairs may start to pop out prematurely when the hair grows out

[@mccm4573]

lol the intro made me laugh :')

[@mikesemailaccount3985]

I leave it up to the professionals like you.

[@TheSalonGuy]

Smart

[@mikesemailaccount3985]

Wish you were in Tampa!

[@Radiation4TheNation]

TheSalonGuy Thanks for the tutorials man, it's very useful. Btw does one need to use a comb when changing the guards of the haircutter? I notice when I just use the haircutter by itself after slowly moving onto bigger guards , they still cut/shave my hair as if there was no guard. So after seeing this video, I assume to create fading, I should be using the larger guards in combination with the comb so I don't shave too deep? Thanks again man love your channel.

[@TheSalonGuy]

Radiation4TheNation Thanks for the question. I always use a comb to brush the hair into the guards regardless. When you comb the hair, it keeps the natural growth pattern in tact. When you just use a guard, no comb, the guards push the hair up where it doesn't naturally grow which then leaves you another line and you can't blend. Best way to simplify it is to always comb when using clippers. Comb downwards to see the natural pattern. Again, ALWAYS comb....

[@Radiation4TheNation]

TheSalonGuy Thanks a lot man, you rock :)

[@mikecaldwell8417]

that dude did not blink once during his haircut

[@TheSalonGuy]

But he wouldn’t shut up lolol

[@zedlav3182]

Actually those "weight" lines are part of certain hair styles particularly in the uk

[@isai1885]

reduce reuse upcycle with luis zedlav please don’t tell a barber/stylist about hair lol

[@josemhs1213]

Isai idk man he is focused on the style of it and its true even in the US some people have a (ugly) weight line and they keep it

[@damienj2242]

Yeah but it still needs to be faded. Otherwise, you have a step.

[@jankomirovic2866]

Not a single person said that those hairstyles look nice

[@oglynch6430]

Those weight lines ain’t part of any hair style in the UK boy

[@tommcgraw2576]

Thank you for showing several different ways to fix a problem. I especially like the texturizing shears/over comb. Very cool.

[@TayC0688]

Thanks for the blending help. I have three boys hair I'm cutting during the quarantine lol and need help blending!

[@ruelcruz3452]

Thanks for sharing your tips! I've doing this in my haircuts and it does make a difference-- especially in straight hair.

[@marthalaguna9807]

just graduate friom cosmetology and need to practice more this love the way you explained !!!!!! your should became an educator

[@TheSalonGuy]

Aw thx. I was for about 8 years total with companies now I educate for myself ✂️

[@barberjohn8042]

Hey man this video has me smiling the whole time. looks great!

[@jonnahuffman8946]

Very clear instructions on getting rid of that weight line.

[@QMR22]

Thank you. I just tried cutting my (toddler) son’s hair for my grandma’s funeral service and it looks like I used a bowl. This helped when I couldn’t make it to a salon.

[@amandaelks815]

It really helped. Clear and concise instruction, thank you x

[@WickedWaiata]

0:08 The look on my face everytime another barber cuts my clients hair lol

[@chriscarlisle8997]

I cut my own hair because it's more economical, and i tried a fade, and it came it decent but I have a slight weight line between my 1 - 2 taper. Thank you for the tips.

[@ZaidaBay]

These are the videos I love! I recently changed salons and where I am now I do 90% male. And I have to do it in a short amount of time. I had a week of barbering in hair school back in 2008. I get discouraged. My clipped cuts are ok but I need help on fades. Could you do more like this , talking and saying which number and what motion your doing?

[@johnrepecki8820]

Good tips on removing a weight line. Maybe use live models though as dummy heads just don't have the same hair growth and the finished product always looks better. Oh yeah, the beard looks very distinguished. Thanks for posting.

[@osaidal-shawabkeh7173]

Thank you, it's really help.. especially knowing what second scissor used for.

[@rajacharya9933]

Best tutorial on KZbin for bleding

[@Diegomolinams98]

haha that intro

[@TheSalonGuy]

I try

[@dxnielswhtx9329]

TheSalonGuy nice video

[@mohammadamaan5100]

Dat intro lol

[@TheSalonGuy]

Yup

[@chrissyVelvet]

Scissor over comb is the hardest thing for me to do when I blend my own hair. I cut my own hair for two reasons most barbers in my area do not know how to cut female hair. Secondly a simple taper is not worth $25 its not in my budget.

[@teckenice]

Your beard is majestic. Please never remove it. Other than that, great video

[@TheSalonGuy]

Manfredas Dilys too late I shaved it off yesterday

[@johanstevens5824]

WHAT???

[@teckenice]

TheSalonGuy How dare you.

[@marjoriemargel1567]

TheSalonGuy Thank You!

[@jonnypanayiotidis6673]

+TheSalonGuy I was gonna buy a mannequin from hair art products but the postage, shipping and handling was crazy expensive because I live in Australia. My mum told me to go on eBay and I found a range of cheaper ( close to the quality of the hair art products ones) mannequins and I bought one, 22 inch in length, side part, free postage, shipping and handling from Hong Kong + free clamp all for 27 AUD It's dew in a few weeks and I'm so excited to get started on styles. You were a big help in decision, I've loved hair ever since I was 4 and I'm 13 now. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK 💇🏻💇🏻💇🏻💇🏻💇🏻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼✌🏼️✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[@arrobinson2191]

I used the same technique just yesterday on a client

[@jayfilho18]

Scissors over the comb hardly ever work on yourself. You can get by with clipper cutting and and cutting the top with layer cutting. But, in any event, cutting your own hair is a skill that may take years to master. If you get the hang of it, your hair will look presentable regardless whether you're a professional or not.

[@henny1387]

best explained tutorial thank you good sir

[@Jamjor]

Thank you!! Helped my fiance with cutting my hair so much!

[@paolinepaoline542]

I love the way you teach ! Also you do a great work. Thank you for taking your time on teaching other people your work. One little question which clipper are you using?🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@embryblake4530]

Me who started cutting my own hair (cause getting it done professionally costs money that I dont have) watching all these and getting all the tips I can to cut my hair better.

[@flaviosarcinelli195]

Thank you very much, Stephen Marinaro, your videos help us a lot.

[@lee-annegovender9584]

Finally an easy way to get rid of the line

[@Orlanzepol123]

OMG! You were talking about me. I be cutting my own hair and have those hard lines. I have the concept of blending but have realized with this video that blending my own hair will be impossible. I don’t want to do a “1” all over anymore. I like a “5” on top with a faded sides. You just made me feel hopeless. I can’t afford a hair cut once a month.

[@sylki121]

Just date a barber/hair stylist...problem solved lol

[@batmanfanizationreborn6055]

[@NenaKeruvim]

I cant find anyone who can do a good haircut on my husband. His hairs stands up on the sides way too much. Im thinking that the best thing to do is just to embrace those sides that insist on standing up and create a hair cut accordingly. What do you suggest please?

[@TheSalonGuy]

+Burrito Sabanero either cut it short or grow it out

[@TimelordUK]

Hello again salon guy. Please teach me how to blend a high zero into the top. I'm a qualified barber working in my own shop for nearly TWO years and I STILL can't do it

[@coffeegrinds685]

Thank you got the wife mad at me for attempting my boys hair cut. He bugs out at the barber , 2 year old, trying to warm him up, but no clue what to do.

[@cutsbyant4366]
