Self Cut Low Fade Tutorial | How To Cut Your Own Hair From Home | Step by Step for Beginners

[@peteryaldo4660]

I watched your video while cutting my own hair. I just went step by step pused the video until I completed each step. With practice anyone can get good at this! People have no idea I cut my own hair until I tell them. Very Helpful Thanks!

[@fedorvandervalk]

Thank you very much for this one. Finally an instruction by someone with the same hair type. Exactly the hairstyle I’m looking for. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@DavidEscamilla153]

Glad to help! More to come!

[@giovrci]

I ask my barber for this but he always cuts too high so I’m trying to learn how to do it myself

[@DavidEscamilla153]

That’s how my barbering career was born lol I took matters into my own hands

Brooo same, thats why i wanted to learn too

[@harryherman5371]

No better time to do it than the Covid era.

[@tylergourlay8657]

Facts same

[@ly-ongamingescape]

Brooo same…then they cut someone else and its the cut u wanted… if u have straight hair go to a middle eastern barber… go to a barber that is known to cut ur type of hair

nice vid G. ive been cutting my own hair for 7 years. I have cheap wahl clippers, with a bad trimmer, and no balder. i zero gapped my clips and use razor to bald out my sides after my first guidline, i use a hand mirror to cut which is pretty sad . Working with cheaper equipment has humbled me. cant wait to take it to the next level. Gonna be cutting my hair tomorrow but ay Good work dawg.

How long does it take to get good at cutting your hair? I've cut my hair about 7 times in the span of 3-4 months and have gotttn a little better, but I still see a couple lines that are hard to erase mainly on my left side(since I'm right hand dominant). Any tips?

[@11buttnaked]

I had to practice using both hands veeeeeery slowly! You may want to try fading down as well. Some folk are able to move faster this way & it doesn’t leave such harsh lines. You may want to invest in a good pair of affordable clippers like the Oster Fast Feeds & replace the metal cutting blade w/a ceramic blade off Amazon. That’s around $75 for one of the barber world’s most famous clippers! I would buy the 1/2 & the 1 1/2 guards as well. They serve as the “go between” guards for the smoothest blends..!!! Peace in Jesus name

[@deleon11794]

@@11buttnaked thanks for the advice! Got 2 walh magic clippers and got those guards. Still messing up on blending into bulk, but it's getting better haha. Guess it just takes patience.

[@deleon11794]

@@11buttnaked I can't fade down for soem reason, tried it and always end up going over the line or messing it up. So I've been fading up

[@11buttnaked]

@@deleon11794 I feel ya bro. The trick is to set guidelines using smaller spaces. KZbinBarberAcademy & SCraftBlendz have some reeeeally good tutorials I learned from. It is definitely easier to fade up for me, but I used to go too high up. So I tried fading down, & yeah it took some practice, but I got it working good now. I sometimes mix the 2 techniques together. I can set the guidelines w/ trimmer, open blade, 1 guard, the 2 guard...… then fade down to blend them together. Keep experimenting & you'll be teaching us something new bro! I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me! Peace in Jesus name bro
