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

[@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

[@user-cm8ml5mc3l]

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

[@DROSS2391]

Beast Mode.

[@Seancutshair]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@rayl2379]

Awesome Thanks ✔ 😉👌

[@Seancutshair]

No problem 😊

[@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

[@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?

[@Tmoneyhoney]

This looks like it makes it much simpler

It does!

[@jermainejennings1514]

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

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah usually is for most

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

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

[@MegaDrehvor]

the best

[@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 .

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

[@anharpangkas08]

Clean fade bossku..👍

[@Seancutshair]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@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

[@nusense808]

My wife loves this technique

[@Seancutshair]

😂😂😂

[@ducvo5921]

Thank you so much. What about high fade ?

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

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

[@skorn_thebarber]

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

[@Seancutshair]

Welcome!

[@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

[@enriquemedinaluevano3101]

The second guy " SI KEEEMAA KHUUU "

[@Seancutshair]

Huh 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@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

[@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?

[@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

[@freddiethefreaklenhard4179]

What trimmers do you use for the bald guide line

[@Seancutshair]

Just something that’s not too sharp

[@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

Could i use these steps for tapers or just fades

[@Xopers3]

what kind of clippers do you use?

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

[@user-jv3ye2rr2z]

Can you do a video on real coarse/curly hair

[@Seancutshair]

When I get some

[@juvann]

2:46 I saw that finger🧐

[@Seancutshair]

😂😂😂

[@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
