MUST SEE Fading Technique 👀

Today I'm going to be showing you my 3 finger technique. This is a system I use to make sure I'm placing the fade in the correct place. This technique will work for low, mid, and high fades, burst fades, tapers, and more! I hope you're able to take this back to the shop and put it to use!

[@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

[@ajayrajendra4546]

Thank you

[@Seancutshair]

You're welcome

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

[@rayl2379]

Awesome Thanks ✔ 😉👌

[@Seancutshair]

No problem 😊

[@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

[@hammiethebarber4254]

That’s pretty sweet man.definitely gonna have to try that.appreciate that bro.I notice the stylecraft/gamma haven’t been used much anymore.when u gonna announce team babyliss?

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah just been using these lo pro’s mainly. I dropped my sabers and broke the blade 🥺 boosteds have gotten loud so made the switch

[@hammiethebarber4254]

@@Seancutshair do u use the fusion blade on ur lo pros or wat blade do u use?

[@gorilla9519]

Cool, thanks....i always run out of room , feel like i gotta start saluting after my high and tight sometimes haha

[@Seancutshair]

😂😂😂

[@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 .

[@innocentmichael2180]

You are absolutely great and the technique was quite informative.. but I would love to ask will that be very necessary when dealing with different clients whenever they want to have any type of hair cut fades?

[@Seancutshair]

It’s just to give you an idea. Can be tailored to different cuts

[@Ascension_4]

Ima use this technique next time I cut my sons hair this is easily explained

FACTS AND YOU JUST GAVE A WAY TO GET IT RIGHT AFTER BARBERS START WITH YOUR TECHNIQUE THEIR FADES ARE GOING TO BE BETTER THAN BEFORE AND IF YOU CANT FADE DONT BE EMBARRASSED WITH USING YOUR FINGERS.

Can you do a no lever fade plz

[@skorn_thebarber]

I forgot about this technique! Thank you for the video! I'm going to start doing this again

[@Seancutshair]

Welcome!

[@hairbypaco]

Just curious how you pwrsonally decide how short to take the sides for the initial weight line.

[@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

[@NickKramer-id7fx]

Ruth why you ain’t show how to do the back to for ppl who trying to cut there own hair

[@breonsmith3580]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Seancutshair]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@axeli28]

nice

[@Seancutshair]

Thanks

[@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

[@enriquemedinaluevano3101]

[@Seancutshair]

Huh 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sebastiannoeline8470]

Cool

[@Seancutshair]

👍🏻

[@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?

[@chasethebarber100]

[@Seancutshair]

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@pamperkingjazi7397]

Techics are good but honestly two many STEPS for OGS GOOD FOR ROOKIES MAN GOOD VIDEO GBLESS U SEAN GREAT HELP FOR ROOKIES

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah obviously once you know what you’re doing you can eliminate some steps but new barbers need a full breakdown to walk through and make sure they get it right

[@McFraceOficial]

I would like to see a video of clipper over comb, please?

[@Seancutshair]

I have a few. Just search Seancutshair clipper over comb

[@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

[@Enano999]

It’s crazy because when I started cutting last year I used to make one line get rid of it then make another and get rid of it, probably 3-4 months into barbering I would make all the guidelines and fade them, now a year into this craft I fade down so when I watch people make guidelines I find it weird😭

[@Seancutshair]

Blending down can definitely be faster but for most it’s easy to get lost and guidelines help stay where we want to be

[@ely1930]

U cutting that dude from remember the titans 😮

[@freddiethefreaklenhard4179]

What trimmers do you use for the bald guide line

[@Seancutshair]

Just something that’s not too sharp

[@massterrbarber]

Doing big things now cause that’s a great way of introducing new upcoming barbers to actually use their hands and practice the technique and possibly even trend setting techniques.

Are those the Marty Blendz guards?

[@Seancutshair]

Yes the skittles set

[@user-jv3ye2rr2z]

Can you do a video on real coarse/curly hair

[@Seancutshair]

When I get some

[@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

[@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

[@ADChopz]

Could i use these steps for tapers or just fades

[@Seancutshair]

For anything!

[@jusadams167]

What trimmers did u use to make your first guide

[@Seancutshair]

Andis slimline pro li

[@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

[@Xopers3]

what kind of clippers do you use?

[@Seancutshair]

I use all kinds of diffuser stuff. These are the lo pro fx from babyliss

[@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
