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!

[@giovpllg]

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

[@luisbeltran3648]

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

[@follower8815]

Literally the most clear explanation I’ve heard on KZbin. Thank you sir

[@DavidEscamilla153]

Glad I can help ! I need to do a low fade on myself again 🙏

[@CAIN_STAR]

This is the proper LOW FUCKING FADE. Im so tired of these damn barbers going so high on a low fade. They are no longer needed. THANKS FOR THIS

[@RobertWolf-Deffense-pi8kw]

Use this everytime I cut my hair myself. Best video out there for it. Every two weeks I give myself a fresh cut. This video works everytime to help me remember

[@DavidEscamilla153]

Ima watch this again and recreate this video. Appreciate you

[@andiepie82]

Well....its a good video for learning yes...but y'all haven't tried Andrew cuts. He has THE ABSOLUTE EASIEST method I've ever seen! Give him a try too.

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.

[@deleon11794]

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
