Its such a good feeling being able to cut your own hair when you want and knowing it's going to be what you want every single time

[@knnaa]

I just cut my locs off after 14 years and gave myself a 2 all around with a taper fade. I was super nervous in doing it because I knew nothing about cutting hair! But after I was done giving myself a haircut and saw myself in the mirror...talk about empowering! Cutting your own hair is such a confidence builder! Then the more you do it the better you'll become, just like with anything. I swear, stepping outside with a fresh haircut knowing that every time you walk pass a mirror on the street and see that haircut, you know that was you. You did that and that is a great feeling. Great tutorial!

Ima keep it a buck this was the best haircut tutorial... I appreciate the step by step gonna try to cut my hair when my clippers come in

[@MelvinPlays]

Dope video brotha! I cut my hair too whenever I don't feel like going to the barber or when I don't have time to. But my biggest thing is doing the back of my hair. I've always found it more difficult then the sides. But I think I may use your method and do that back first since it's the hardest. 💯

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

thanks brotha... all i can say is practice makes perfect!

Great tutorial Is this a low taper?

[@thejordanbrand]

Awesome man

[@TravoneEvans]

Your tutorial was great man thank you so much for this. Could you do a tutorial on how to master the angles/hand position when lining yourself up in the mirror? I can never find the right position to get a good view of what I'm doing. I've just been leaving it "fuck it" and I haven't messed up yet but if I had some tips that would make me feel a lot better. Especially behind my ear and the sides of my front line up. I'm using a hand mirror and my bathroom mirror. Thanks in advance.

[@20racks22]

Good video too I feel like after watching both your vids I can give myself a decent cut considering it will be my first time

[@thelomax]

Thank you for this.

[@antwannrhett1012]

good cut man im just getting into this myself ive learned tht spritz helps with the line up also maybe if you wanted to save time you could use that but my main issue is blending im struggling with that part i swear lol urs i great tho

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Thanks bro...it took me forever before I even started trying to do fades/blending etc. All I can say is practice practice practice..and expect a few mess ups along the way lol

[@Jrila1]

Was the 1 guard open when you made the transition with the taper on the sides?

[@legitpaper8251]

Nice cut homie

[@jlynn8602]

Preciate this big homie💯 Just got my fast feeds and gonna start cutting my own taper myself. Question? The ceramic blade on thr fast feeds. Is it a big difference or no and dig you zero gap your fast feeds?

[@WooThaWizard]

What if I don’t have a number 0 guard what do I use ?

[@joygabby64]

I am having trouble fading that second guideline. It is very hash and goes from dark to light at the bottom. What else could I use beside the zero guard closed?

[@kron277]

Thank you bro

[@1jboda]

You made it look easy, I have trouble doing the edge up

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

The edgeup definitely the hardest part

[@1jboda]

I messed up the back pretty bad trying to fade it, how long did it take you to get to where you at in the video?

[@HH-vg5sb]

Good Job!

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Thank you

[@trippin9298]

Great video. Why do u taper from the lowest setting to highest as opposed to highest to lowest? If you did that, you would lessen the risk of bringing a guideline too high and having to adjust the taper or worse turning it into a fade.

[@mobedick175]

This has to be one of the best tutorials you explained everything to the T. Thanks King I'm on the journey of cutting my own head now and this video will be of much assistance. Question though With your And is T outliner why did you take the cover off? Does it cut better?

[@fanchercameron6065]

Nice video spritz your line up to freeze your waves

[@302930]

Good video bro, you killing it man! I've been cutting my own hair for ten years now so I have a good amount of trial and error experience. lol The only thing I could suggest is branching out to the straight razor to hit the lower area of the fade or use a foil shaver of your choice to give it a even cleaner smoother transition from the light to dark area of the fade. Also, us the corner of the fast feeds to trim the darker area of the fade and cut down some of the bulk. Without pressing against the head, at an angle you could lightly come up with the corner of the fast feeds and do this. Or try using the zero guard or one guard depending on your hair length all the way open and hit the darker area only coming down with the clippers instead of coming up against the grain. Hope this info can help, keep at it!

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Appreciate the tips bro!

[@Shawnmyrelle]

You got the perfect shape head 💇🏿‍♂️

[@damien_good2291]

do another vid like this one

[@DeeDee-ex4dm]

andis or bahl. which one gives a sharp turn out for a line up?

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Cant go wrong with either tbh

[@angelabecerra4385]

I have a question.. I see your clippers are oster, but the guards are andis like the trimmers. Do you use the andis guards with the oster clippers?

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

yes the Andis double magnetic guards work with oster fast feeds

[@StevenSoto]

You went in

[@stevenclark640]

First off I salute you brotha I appreciate what you’re doing showing how to do this. Second I pretty much memorized your other taper vid (pt 3) is this method easier? And last thing how do you get any hair with the #2 if you already cut it at #1. Is that for cleanup spot? Once again much respect to you bruh keep doing your thing, clean cut!

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Appreciate the love bro. I wouldn't say this method is necessarily easier. It does help to make the taper a little "tighter" if that makes sense. As far as the side taper, there's not much difference. The main difference with this method can be noticed with the neck taper. If you look at my old video of when I did my neck taper, the area of the taper is a lot longer and drawn out..compared to this method where the taper happens in a smaller space, but still blends pretty well. Even though I cut my whole head with a #1 guard, with the grain.. a #2 guard will still cut hair against the grain. Its because the hair lifts up when you cut against the grain. A #2 against the grain will cut slightly shorter than a #1 with the grain, hopefully that makes sense.

[@inspiringmindscustomteesgl3848]

How did you get you blades so sharp?

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

The trimmers? I adjusted them

[@dannyezechukwu1175]

Will spritz and the Durag on the line work just the same as washing it?

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

it should! you just need something to lay the hair down and keep it in place.

[@dannyezechukwu1175]

Preciate the timely reply. You gotta subscribe outta me.

[@222222e]

Plus about cutting your own hair your hair is the fact you don't have to go to a barber shop and risk getting robbed which the do in Milwaukee a lot. Two you can travel and always be fresh while saving money.
