"THE BEST SELFCUT TUTORIAL ON THE INTERNET” DIY fade (no .5 or 1.5 needed)💈In Depth Breakdown💈

[@cosmin6155]

I've seen dozens of tutorials on KZbin and this one is by far the best

I agree!

I would love to be sitting in a chair, with the cape around my neck, while you're standing behind the chair giving me a haircut like you're giving yourself, and just sit there enjoying every minute of the haircut you're giving me.

[@Kazuya995]

I could not understand 1 open 1 open means😢

[@Angel-mx4le]

This is the best tutorial on the youtube i swear, most of the tutorials require .5 or 1.5 wich many people don't have, thank you.

[@jeffreybonilla304]

Fr Angel

[@MrElbrich]

Facts!

[@afixlim]

Agreed 👍

[@Fd20y]

The open lever acts as a half to whatever number you have on. So if you have a 1 guard on and lever is open, that’s a 1.5

[@hebwowvwhossow7829]

Lewis Cook what about if it’s open halfway on a guard one does that mean 1.5? And if ur on guard one full does that mean ur on guests 2

[@deshawnd3363]

Just thought id let you know, ive been coming back to this video for almost 2 years now, have done probably 15 self cuts following this video everytime. The other day I was in Subway and some guys came up to me asking where I get my hair cut lol. I told them its a self cut from a KZbin tutorial…. Felt so good lol. Anyway appreciate the instructions man 😎

Bro the title of the video doesn't lie,I watched a bunch of tutorials and they either go thru the process fast and they don't explain in detail of what they doing. Alot of them don't even show what they mean by closed/open lever. Plus they don't cut their own hair like most of us are trying to do. Plus you gave yourself a fade without 1.5 guards like alot of every day Joe's that don't have those guard's. You killed it bro.

Thank you bro I really appreciate it. God bless🙏🙌🙌

I legit just got done with cutting my hair using this tutorial and it came out perfect. It was my first time too. People were asking me who my barber was and I was honored to say myself. Thank you so much for making it simple, quick, and easy. With lining myself up too, it took at least 1 hr and some change. 😊

[@yerokaasregor]

Hopefully they weren't taking the piss by asking dude👍

[@andiepie82]

For real man? This helped you so much that you nailed your very first time?? That's so so encouraging to me because Ive been so frustrated needing and wanting to cut my own but worrying that i could never do it this professional looking. Always thought it would be too hard. I do my own already but just use one guard and take it all off one length only, cause i never felt like i could do a fade. Thanks man

[@robmurillo2487]

You’re the reason I’m the only one out of my friends with a fresh cut lol I appreciate you bro

[@AndrewCuts]

Lol I love it!!🙌

No matter what haircut I want very little tools no name brand and getting blurry even if it takes me a day we in quaritine lol definitely not saying put your Barber out of business it's much simpler having him do it or her

This is the first explanation I can understand and could actually follow after watching like 12 videos of fade tutorials. thanks a lot!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!🙏🙌

[@mongooseblue26]

1. no guard -Close(first guideline) 2. no guard-open (second guideline) 3. #1-Open 4. #2-Open -Go STRAIGHT up like your head is a box. Erase Guidelines. TAKE YOUR TIME. Erase first guideline. 5. No Guard- Open 1/4 of the way.knock up first guideline 6. No Guard - Open 1/4 of the way. 7. No guard - Open 1/4 (should be at 3/4) Erase Top line. 8.#1 -Close to erase Top line. If it doesn't erase and you don't have a .5 guard, use clipper with no guard (all the way open) and only use corners. The very top of the fade. 9. #2-Close 10. #1-Open corner of blade to touch up.

[@italianmob4566]

Dude this is legit best video on how to fade. I started using it at the beginning of corona virus lock down and to this day im still fading my own hair. My barber keeps texting me asking where I been lol you saved me 40 bucks a week . Thanks bro

[@AndrewCuts]

Thank you bro I appreciate that!! So glad to hear it helped and that you’re saving $$ now🙌

[@quietstorm9702]

40 bucks a week for a fade? No wonder he is calling you.

[@TheHungryTrollRawr]

Right off the bat i'm super impressed by this guys skills, you can tell he's cut his own hair many times by the sheer speed and accuracy of his strokes during the steps! Amazing skill when doing that to your own head!

[@kcguy8864]

I cant believe how good this actually came out, i never thought i would learn to give myself a fade, let alone a good one on the first try.. im in awe, i feel so accomplished rn You’re awesome for this upload brah🙏

[@syedahmed9225]

Update: this tutorial is hands down the best, with this technique and not needing the .5guard it came out great.No harsh guidelines in place. Cheers for the tips Andrew

[@alexfang2594]

I'm super grateful for this video because I was trying to save money on haircuts. The barbers around my area are now charging insane prices especially since I'm now on a budget.

[@luismartinez7964]

This is by far the most instructive, and simplest to recreate on my own, thank you

[@aduragbemiemmanuel9786]

Thank for making this possible, here in Nigeria (Africa) you hardly see clippers with the 0.5 & 1.5 guard. So the lines created at clipper open and 1 guard close are most often not taken out completely. This will help me a lot next time in the shop when giving a haircut. Almost done with my barber apprenticeship relationship with my master. Once again thank you for this.

[@niftylawnsadmin7708]

Great video. I love it because you keep it simple and don’t put 42 guards on throughout the process. Thank you

[@jesusisgodallbyhimself]

Good work. Been doing this for 15+ years. Even cut my own hair for my wedding day. Getting to that point wasn't easy. Many rough trims in high school. Keys to a good trim is confidence, time, two shavers one for lines the other for cutting, mirror positioning for two mirrors and lighting. Bit of music can help to determine how your hair cut will turn out too.

[@chrisprgaming2435]

True about the music, helps for me. I just started cutting my own hair days ago, still kinda nervous to use the equipment but music and some hemp helps lol Did my 1st ever haircut on one of my fam members and not bad for a newbie

[@OPIUMCARTI1]

15 years? I just started and I don't want to be 31 by the time I learn

[@wavemaker415]

Thank you for showing/writing exactly which guard and lever positions you were using. I've watched too many DIY tutorials that are supposedly catered to those of us who don't know what we're doing, but the barbers switch guides and levers without saying or showing it, and then I get confused. Thank you for taking your time and not rushing through the video so that we can easily follow along.

[@redkap888]

Seen so many self cut tutorials but actually gonna follow this one today. Wish me luck 🤞

[@yungmimi5325]

for a year (because of corona) i’ve been curing my own hair and always mess up with that second guide like because i don’t have a .5 guard, i’ve been too lazy/forget about it lol. this video just changed the game for me! the best self cut i’ve ever given myself after this vid!! thank you!!!

[@Devoh915]

This the best self cut video I’ve seen so far.

[@AndrewCuts]

Thank you bro 🙏

[@Chi-x]

I love the simplicity of this cut. Especially for a beginner, this seems very encouraging. Thanks to lockdown, I have now taken it upon myself to cut my own hair and I will see how it goes. Great video. Keep it up!

[@rbilardo47]

Great video, you explain everything so simply, all can understand. I'm a retired Barber and I give myself bald fades holding a hand held mirror, which is a pain, but it works. I'd like to see your setup that shows your hands free way of cutting. Thanks for sharing.

[@TooncesTheDrivingCat]

Those paint-on eyebrows are on point.

[@nanaki3283]

Dude ur awesome! Your the first person that shows us how to do it without a zero guard 1.5 guard; the substitutions we can do if we don’t have them. Started cutting my hair recently so this video was helpful! 😄

[@OwlCat-c4b]

Had long hair for the last 20 years, lost it all to chemo in Feb. Cancer free, but was Q-Ballin’ it for 3 or 4 months till it started to grow back. I made the mistake of going to Supercuts and they charged me 30 bones for basically nothing- Never Again, fellas. Ive always been handy w the clippers but never tried doin a fade- Ive done it maybe 6 or 7 times now and im lovin it! It looks dope and I can ALWAYS keep it fresh!! For me, the trickiest part was doin the “cornering” with the blade to kill the line…but it works!! Thanks for the vid man- changed my life ! 🙏

[@dday3]

Just did my hair for the first time today. Difficulty with those lines and mirrors , what a pain. Overall confident after a few attempts I’ll get it. Me personally I lack the motions as smooth to just use the corners. Mad respect to this guy for making it look so effortless

[@wulf1540]

Have to chime-in just to say, "thanks". This tutorial has actually helped me accomplish some decent fades starting from the very first time. I just started shortening the distance between the guidelines to get the fade I really want. Another couple of haircuts and I hope to be right where I want with hairstyle and skill to maintain it myself. The title is the truth.

[@TheDoGu14]

Normally I never comment on KZbin videos but in this case, I have to. That’s simply because I‘d like to thank you for sharing your haircut tutorial with us while explaining all the steps and beyond. With your help, I‘m able to cut my own perfect buzz cut! ❤

Man. Thank you for this self cut tutorial. I just cut my hair tonight for the second time. As much as I watch videos to learn a system. This system is great and easy to remember. My mid fades are wack but I’m very happy that it doesn’t look like a chili bowl. Lol. I will definitely get better with time.

[@dhrnrow]

Watched so many tutorials and nothing made more sense for my hair length and type compared to this one. Grateful that it popped up on my feed. Cheers.

Alright just did this for the first time with legit clippers... ngl considering it was my first time doing it myself it turned out pretty good so I can confirm this video is cool proof because I was able to do it with success the first time so go wild y’all 🤘

Bro is a master. No one can explain it better and do it better on their own hair

[@AndrewCuts]

Thank you brotha! I appreciate that 🙏

[@deathcoredad]

Moved to a new house, tried 4-5 different barbers. They all sucked! I got my own clippers and been following the steps on this vid for the last 5-6 haircuts. Had to make some small adjustments here n there to get my hair the way I like it. But I am slowly getting there. My last haircut was the best one so far. Looked almost professional. Taking my time and being really meticulous really helps. My last haircut took me 2 hrs! lol but it was so worth it! Saving so much money by doing it myself.

[@cherrellelatrice3737]

Thank you so much for this video. I’m been practicing a lot on myself lately and this video was awesome. What a great tutorial and I understood the assignment 👌🏾

I cant thank you enough brother. Ive been trying to do my own fades the last few months but trial and error its just a case of waiting for it to grow back. I watched you video a few times took my time and wow my first attempt watching your method and it looks fantastic honestly im buzzing and so happy i found your advice. Well worth a sub mate. Massive respect to you from across the pond 🇬🇧👍😎🇺🇸

Tried this out myself. Beware that it is waaaaaay harder than it looks to do this yourself. Ended up showing my girlfriend the vid and she finished it off for me and everything went well.

[@abdallahseleiman2590]

Fire video!!! I’ve been cutting my hair for 3 months now and found this video very helpful. I’ve cut my lil brothers hair in the past and this video was honestly very clear to understand and helpful for new barbers since you only use the clipper in the beginning and just 2 guards. Easy for a beginner to follow and not get discouraged their first time.

[@non_012]

[@jonathanjader5842]

If we have a 0 (1/2) guard, do we start that second line of the fade open or closed? Thanks!

[@AndrewCuts]

Start open, if you can’t get the line erased with that then close it

[@desolationR]

He fades better on his own better than any chain hair salon employee 😂

[@sirmixalot3332]

I truly believe Supercuts, Sportsclips, Fantastic Sams and that type hire people off the street. NEVER once had a decent cut at any of these places. Amateurs who have no clue whatsoever how to pull off a fade. Walking out looking like you lost a bet which involved letting a blind epileptic diabetic crashing cut your hair. No disrespect to anyone just trying to drive home the point how terrible most of those chain places are.

On my wahl clipper it don’t have marks where the adjusting lever is do I just free ball it? I.e. Quarter, 3/4quarter etc

[@AndrewCuts]

Yes you don’t need to have to notches, you can kind of just guess where halfway, 3/4 etc is

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

i like that pro tip explaining the use of the corners in absence of a guard to finish off a fade. This is great stuff to learn. Just cut my hair today, straight hair Asian poofy buzz cut down to a 3 on top, 1.5 on the sides and like a .5 bottom and rear. The light is to my 2 o clock so it was kinda hard to get a sense of the lines even with a hand mirror but i made it work, in direct light it really makes the fade like not appear until you are in a darker lit room. Anyways, great video you put toghether explaining stuff

[@rickster2c]

that line at the end ruined the whole cut.

Since covid and everything closed i bought a good expensive clipper and also start doing my own hair. Havent seen a barber since. But alot of people couldnt believe i did it myself 😂 So that was a huge compliment. People even asked if i wanted to to their hair. Its a really cool skill to have. At first i was doing my haircut and was busy for over an hour. Now im done in 25, because my hair is longer on top and i also have to cut that. Its not always 100% clean but hey 🤷‍♂️ what can you do. This tutorual is very very accurate 👌🏾

Amazing video, so many self cut vids out there but none that explain it so simply and with the basic kit we all have, thank you so much!

[@CottageQueso]

Awesome video man. I would say to add in another way to further explain using the corners of the clippers is that you get a little more of a gap between the edge of the blade, because the cutting blade that is moving doesn't completely meet the stationary blade.

[@Fd20y]

Been fading mine a year now. Best thing I ever did man. No more sitting in barber shops

[@O-Aztec]

this is a dope video man. I learned allot from this. been cutting my own hair since I was 15. and always had a hard time figuring out how blend my lines this easy. thank you for this, I'm definitely going to use this technique for my next self fade. thanks man, just got yourself a new subby.

[@mr781mass9]

Thank you for explaining properly how you knock out each individual fade line. I’ve been cutting my own hair lately & have watched other videos & I don’t think I’ve heard them describe fading the lines out like you. That’s the hardest part for me as a beginner. I do the initial guideline great, but end up making my fade lines too high. I wasn’t going up a little, then opening the blade for each guideline. I was also using the whole blade, instead of the corner to break up the lines. Luckily I’ve got a .5 guard so I’m looking forward to trying this out again. Thanks!

[@lickbalboa9382]

Used this 4 times already. Thank you

[@jonah_stasthebarber]

As you can see he’s looking directly into a mirror not from a side view until the finishing removal blend of lines. I go top down so I don’t set lines that helps a lot also. I didn’t have a textbook youtube google shit the internet lol and the library wasn’t going so you figure out what is the best way leading on your own

[@Deanconn100]

Brilliant tutorial & very well made. Any chance for a tutorial on how to fade out those lines? Close up vid that shows your technique for fading? Having a few issues with my own haircut. 👍

[@iBOD4LYF]

Respect bro been cutting my hair for a while never got it as clean as when I watched your video !

[@zombiesRUseless6880]

If you don't have a one, and a half guard, put the number one guard, and put the level half way, creating a one and a half. If you don't have a number one guard, just use the trimmer with no guard, but with the lever all the way one. The level all the way open with no guard is a number one. If you put on a number one guard, and the lever all the way open, you have a number 2.

[@skionen1781]

Excellent video. Great tip on stretching the guide line really makes it easier like you said. Thanks for the nuggets. That Cut came out 🔥 👍
