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

[@Donald-un7jg]

Do you think that you could give me what they call a recon style haircut, very short on the top of my head and razor shaved on the back and sides all the way up a little bit higher than the poridal ridge, all the way around my head from side to side. Do you think that you could give me a haircut like that?

[@suelee898]

I agree!

[@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 😎

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.

[@MrElbrich]

Facts!

[@afixlim]

Agreed 👍

[@mister.c4631]

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

[@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!!🙌

[@brianhubbard2940]

Facts bro but it's crazy I been doing this

[@brianhubbard2940]

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

[@mikewhite8848]

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.

[@AndrewCuts]

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

[@fededamian]

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

[@AndrewCuts]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@scott4418]

thank you

[@enty2613]

mate you are a fucking legend thank you

[@antisocialist2244]

Loved the video. Can you do another video with the zero guard and 1.5 guard? Thanks

[@gragnesemeally924]

Measurement in beard trimmer please. I dont have a clipper.. and its pricy

[@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🙏

[@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!

[@niftylawnsadmin7708]

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

[@lyricking759]

I’ve been trying to find this kind of a tutorial video without the .5 or 1.5 thank you so much this was a lot of help😊

[@redkap888]

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

[@Shitor603]

This was flawless. I couldn't believe how smooth he made all this feel

[@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!

[@lalalal8111]

U dont listen my guy? He said the video was sped up

[@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

[@Jakariajin]

@Andrew Cuts thank you so much for making these videos. I still suck at saving but your videos have been helpful for real. Much respect for your content

[@jduarte2530]

Thank you for making this video ! It’s the only clear one out there without having .5 or 1.5. You made it easy for us. 👌🏼👌🏼

[@AA-yj4os]

Thank u man actually trying to help people and explaining what you do. When you adjusted the lever and talked about flicking the line up it helped so much with understanding how barbers fade.

[@matthersoncabrera3491]

A lot respect and appreciation from me for you. I’ll start working on cutting my own. Thanks to you I’ll have an idea on how it’ll look like while I’m using the 2 guards. I appreciate it a lot.

[@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! ❤

[@ajaymunhoo8582]

Yes I enjoyed this lengthy video. I was looking all over for a video that showed these techniques

[@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! 😄

[@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.

[@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.

[@semmywap2916]

You broke this down and made it so simple that I could understand, shoutout to you bro!

[@UntouchableJ2One]

Out of all the videos I've seen on KZbin, this was the BEST. I got great results thanks to you.

[@deboymoney]

Instrumental is 🔥 & the cut is on point. Thank you.

[@dharenrow9676]

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.

[@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!

[@non_012]

2 min silence for those who had to go bald/buzz after this 😂

[@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

[@johnw1597]

Great video! Real simple & I will be trying this at the weekend!

[@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.

[@darkthemed7407]

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 🇬🇧👍😎🇺🇸

[@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!!!

[@kellyhuie483]

[@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

[@rodneypew7740]

Thank you brother that means a lot!!🙏

[@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.

[@iBOD4LYF]

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.
