MUST SEE Fading Technique 👀

[@ManiacBarber666]

when I was first starting out, fresh out of school, the shop owner taught me to break down fades and tapers into 3rds just like this. never fails. it's now how I teach people as well. this is some gold people. give this dude a thumbs up. 👍👍🍻🍻

[@Seancutshair]

[@knightblade5]

So I have been cutting my own hair for the last like 8 years or so but only been taking it seriously the last 3 months. This video really brought a lot of clarity to make things a little easier for me. Looking forward to do doing some sick fades for my peeps!

[@Seancutshair]

Yessir! Glad to hear it! Just keep getting those reps in

[@jordanunknown5128]

This probably the best fade tutorial/technique that I've see on YT and I've watched a lot..

[@Seancutshair]

Appreciate that 🙏🏼

[@IKenexPSN]

This is a ‘menspire’ technique used to teach beginners how to space out there guides. 👍🏻

[@immortalknight3968]

Bro your fades are insane and is that ur car?

[@Seancutshair]

Nice didn’t know they did this

[@EvanPeix]

perfect explanation. TY:)

[@Tamerejladrill26262]

Out of all the videos, I've watched this help me the most putting three fingers literally guide you and tells you what to fade. Thanks bro

[@Huncho60]

Ive been in barber school for a year now im in a last 100 hours this just helped with new clients to help learn their head better‼️

[@Seancutshair]

Almost done!!!

[@Fadamaster]

Bro this is an awesome way to explain a fade. 5 stars brother

[@Seancutshair]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@RobTheMech]

Bro thanks so much keeping the ½ guard and 1 ½ guard open half way made my fades and tapers so nice I really needed that I appreciate brotha

[@Seancutshair]

Glad I could help 🙌🏻

[@PFKTHREE]

What does this do exactly??

[@priscillaz7993]

Not a barber, but I did start cutting my husband's hair after covid when shops closed. I have watched all your technique videos, and it's helped so much! Thank you, and keep throwing out good vids🥰

[@priscillaz7993]

Also, your teaching style is spot on! Easy to learn🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Seancutshair]

Love it!! 🙏🏼

[@rjgolden131]

I am new to barbering and having a horrible time learning this fade! Watching this video helps make sense of it! Will try it out for sure!

[@haydenarnold4522]

As an adhd barber ive been getting lost and taking waaaay to long bc of it 😅 the past 2 weeks that ive been doing this have been a night and day difference 🙌🏼 thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Seancutshair]

Love to hear it! Glad it helped you

[@archiexEM]

Try taking less steps to the process.. guard skipping etc

[@VonTheHooper]

I been cutting hair for a while like 3 yrs freshly new Comestology school but this technique has really been a help I understand so well now I have been trying different techniques and they just didn’t seem to fit with comprehension and creativity. But this I literally can do and grasp this like a glove. 🥊 Appreciate it the vids 1️⃣💈 to another clip on !!!🤟🏾💈🤙🏾💕

[@a7freestylers559]

I have 2 questions 1/2 When u are blending them are u pushing up and down or flicking if so what kind of angle 2/2 My clippers are 0.45-0.85 so do I still use 1 guard

[@Seancutshair]

Just going in and cutting the hair I want to cut then coming out off the head. You still use all the guards no matter the clipper

[@jorgetorrijos5212]

You show how to give fades really well will be using your technique tmr🫡

[@Seancutshair]

Appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@DebraSmith-w1c]

Nice love your videos Im a stylist who has worked 42 years. Thanks for teaching me the fade properly. 😊

[@ninawisniewski9197]

You have the best tutorials and explanations ❤

[@FutureBarber]

Nothing like a good straightforward tip everyone can use. Good stuff man! Gonna try this one.

[@Seancutshair]

Appreciate it

[@tobydonovan547]

Once i get my .5 guard im trying this because youve made things the most straight forward out of all the crazy amount of videos ive watched

[@Seancutshair]

Good to hear!

[@antoniolombardi8039]

La prima tecnica è la mia preferita e le tue sfumature sono fantastiche. Grazie per aver condiviso con noi la tua arte ✂️

[@Seancutshair]

Thank you!

[@colebarmettler7143]

Hey Sean, first of all. Thank you for all your videos! SO helpful. I’m about to finish at Barber School. And still not comfortable with the basics unfortunately. But when you put in the open Clipper guideline, do you flick up? Or are all your guidelines hard?

[@lolomelon528]

that last beast was dope and the outro was smooooth

[@RickyGuillen-yu2sn]

Just started cutting out of my garage and this DEF helped me out. Thank you bro 👍🙏

[@quest808]

Would this be considered a mid fade? If I wanted to do a high fade, would I use 2 fingers?

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah it’s a mid fade. For a high fade you wouldn’t leave as much weight and would just shift the whole thing up a step. Also can just tighten up your guidelines. There would still be the same steps whether high, mid, or low

[@ADChopz]

Could i use these steps for tapers or just fades

[@Seancutshair]

For anything!

[@steelworxcuracao9482]

If your doing like a low fade can you still use the same technique even tho you don't have space for all 3 fingers

[@Seancutshair]

If you don’t feel you have that much space it just lets you know to tighten up the guidelines

[@DutuEdi19]

Thanks men You are the best barber ❤

[@ArnoldN123]

i always hated the way some people swear by this technique because sometimes not everyone has a nice headshape and will have a balanced fade like that. some guards will have to be smaller than others to achieve a look. But its a very good fundamental to know

[@Seancutshair]

It’s a good way to fit most, and let you know when it won’t fit and you have to tighten up your guidelines

[@JovanUrBarberheadlinersboise]

Very nice process Sean simple and ez I will use this in my studio

[@Seancutshair]

This is so helpfu. I’ve always had difficulties with this part this video just made it crystal clear thank you ! ❤❤❤

[@Seancutshair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@georgequiroz5691]

Amazing video, thank you for the Gems homie . Yo big Sean Is there a similar technique to determine Taper guide lines.

[@Seancutshair]

Can do the same exact way. If there’s not enough room you just tighten it up a little bit

[@ducvo5921]

Thank you so much. What about high fade ?

[@Seancutshair]

You’d just start higher and condense the steps a little bit if the room wasn’t there

[@petervanstijvoort733]

Thank you for this didactic video. Very educational, well explained. Nice to take this with me to my lessons. Thank you!👏🙏

[@Seancutshair]

You are welcome!

[@jermainejennings1514]

Blending the fade is the most challenging part for me personally.

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah usually is for most

[@alantorres5459]

Most definitely using this technique when I do my next fade in barber school this helped me a lot!!! Great video as always Sean God Bless🙏🏽

[@Seancutshair]

Glad to hear it!

[@servernajmi1354]

May i know how tostart? What number of guide? And what number click lever. From botom or top.

[@Seancutshair]

It’s all in the video! I have a fade steps video that explains even further

[@dopeboyp3487]

Sean really out here doing the Lord’s work. Blessing us time and time again. 👊🏽💯

[@Seancutshair]

I try!

[@ThisIsHustleCentral]

What is your preference for bending into those weight lines? clipper over comb, shear over comb? 2 guard with lever play?

[@Seancutshair]

Usually a larger guard and blend down like 4-3-2 then do the fade into the 2

[@lauren.mock10]

Thank you so much! I been kinda struggling with this and getting lost in the sauce. Definitely helped and cut my time down ❤🙏🏼

[@Seancutshair]

Love to hear it 👊🏼

[@Anime-clips293]

Can you use the 3 finger technique for a mid and high fade

[@johntiller4681]

Great tutorial. Thanks Sean

[@Seancutshair]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Tee-p9j]

I needed this.!!! Can you make a vid on taper using this method??

[@Seancutshair]

Possibly. It operates the same way just in the taper area

[@iii_EazyLou_iii]

This is the way I cut in the shop and I love it. From Brooklyn ny & I use the master cordless

Calling something the "3-Finger Technique" is crazy.

[@santi3721]

LMAOOO

[@richthetrick]

Nah that ain’t crazy, I heard another barber on here saying he gotta finish “balding him out” 😂 just sounds so wrong man.

[@Seancutshair]

Wow, thanks!

[@massterrbarber]

Same thing with the burst im telling you if you didn’t come up with the idea for teaching the finger technique than you can claim it as part of a teaching curriculum at barber schools around the world. It works and easily learned and can help with part of the learning process. I’m teaching one person and I’m going to use this technique for see his reaction and then ill tap in back with you and let you know how it goes.BLESSINGS AND AMAZING INSTRUCTOR .

did the first fade line have a gard on?1:32

First guideline is no guard open

Are those the Marty Blendz guards?

[@Seancutshair]

Yes the skittles set

[@Faceman005]

How can this work with detachable clippers????

[@Seancutshair]

I don’t use detachables but would have to find equivalent steps with your blades and apply the same system

[@Faceman005]

@@Seancutshair please do.

[@RobWardley]

Brilliant, thank you, is this just for a low fade?

[@Seancutshair]

No this can work for anything. It will also show you when you don’t have as much room and you’ll know you need to condense your fade

[@RobWardley]

@@Seancutshair thank you. what do you do differently for say, a high fade then?

[@flyahhcashy]

So what if somebody was wolfing for a long time how would you apply this technique

[@Seancutshair]

You’d clear the bulk on the sides down to a 3 or 4 then start the fade

[@yanyor5969]

Does this technic only works for fades or does it work for tapers too?

[@Seancutshair]

It works for any cut, just the shape or location of the fade changes

[@gustavo-ro4ft]

so if you do the three finger technique what type fade are you doing ?

It’s not about the type of fade. If you want a low fade you just start lower, high fade start higher. Still can use the three finger technique to visualize your guidelines

[@oskar658]

hey quick question about hitting the line with the corner of the clippers, is there a difference between which corner am I using and which way Im going?

[@Seancutshair]

Not necessarily but you need to cut against the direction the hair is growing. Sometimes one corner will hit it better than the other

[@juliovazquez7728]

Do u take the guidelines all around the head and then take them out the same way or do u finish the fade on half the head and do it the same on the other side ?

[@Seancutshair]

I usually just do each side then the back

[@tymeranui9706]

How do you determine with a mid high or low fade tho?

[@Seancutshair]

Same way. But if you don’t have enough room then you know you need to tighten up your guidelines

[@coliniund5170]

What about medium or high fades the first one looked like a low fade and then obvious DC has some recession and bigger vertical bars, so there was more room

[@Seancutshair]

Just change where you start your guidelines. Also if you feel there’s not room for 3 fingers then you know to tighten up your guidelines a little bit
