Why You Should Cut The Top First ✂️ High Taper Crop Haircut Tutorial

Most barbers go straight in with their clippers and start the fading process. The downside of this is that sometimes we can get too much into the hair we need for the finished style. As weird as it may feel, cutting the top first can be of great help for maintaining the length you need. Watch this video and see if it's something you can implement!

Your block graduation tutorials literally changed the way I cut hair. For years a blended high with clipper over comb, but this forced me to maintain the right amount of length and weight in the ridge. You're a natural born teacher!

[@Seancutshair]

That’s the main difference! Glad it’s helped!

[@Chewbaccayouwookie]

I got super lucky. My barber college instructor was all about cutting the top first. You're absolutely right, it makes blending faster and seamless. 👍

[@Seancutshair]

💯💯💯

I love seeing how you shear cut. In cos school that’s how they teach us to cut men’s but I love your videos on fading and anything with clippers because they never taught us that stuff. Thank you!

Can you tell me the number you use to fade the side in order from 0 to the highest guard.

I’m sure you get these type of statements said all the time. But this is my first time saying it so forgive me. One style I haven’t seen in a minute in general is a fauxhawk. And I need a haircut so I might have to fly out to you because I think it’d make for a fire video. As always Sean your quality is superior 🔥🔥🙏🏾

[@brucewayne2091]

Great video. I don't know if you ever bother to watch the Reuzel folks at the Barber conventions but their method is very similiar.

[@Seancutshair]

I’ve seen them before! A little familiar with it

[@MultiTlp]

your comb showing the p ridge on the side of the head was super helpful. Can you do the back again showing where the O bone is too? I know you can feel for it, but is there a way to see it with the comb? you sort of did it in the video but really fast. Thanks!

[@Seancutshair]

Same way with the comb just slide it up and down the back of the head and it will help you find the occipital and the parietal ridge

[@DavidBrown-wb5su]

Hey bro I love your videos!! I definitely get the most out of your videos.. Ima relatively new barber. I graduated barber school and passed my state boards in Sept.. Unfortunately the barber school i went to was trash and didn’t teach us hardly anything.. if it wasn’t for a mentor barber I was lucky enough to meet and u guys on youtube i prolly would have got frustrated and gave up.. Do u offer any further education courses, or do u know if any online??I really want to improve on my shear cutting and styling techniques. My idea courses would be something I could. follow along with a manikin.. anyway man, thanks for your time and the content u put out!!!

[@Seancutshair]

I do some classes around the country. We have the tomb45 online cademy you should check out. And for shear work BarberJoshOP academy is great. It’s a little advanced though if you don’t feel you have the basics down

Ever since I started doing this shear technique my cuts have been going crazy and my client retention has gone up too cause they say it looks like what they see on tiktok or IG cuts

Nice! Love to hear it

As a barber I know it's much easier starting from the top especially if hair is long!

hey sean! i freakin love the videos man. by chance what color guards do you use ?

They’re Martyblendz premium translucent guards. I think he’s dropping this color way soon

[@Motionblendz]

great vid man, this helped me alot with shears but one thing that did confuse me was i was doing a hair cut and i approached it with block graduation. but the client asked me to remove a decent amount off the middle ontop and i didnt know what to do since i already had the line set in and connected the sides to the ridge line. what do you do in a situation like that? do you approach it differently?

[@Seancutshair]

You would still cut a straight line across the top and just connect to a shorter guide from the side instead of a small section down the middle. You’d still leave your weight in the ridge that you need

[@Motionblendz]

@@Seancutshair thank you Sean!

[@taraduddy7687]

What would you do if your client gets a #3 to a #4 high fade and has a receding hairline. This clients hair sticks straight out on the sides so I take the fade higher but he also has thin hair and recession like your guy in the video. How would I maintain length on the top and still have the high fade blend? Thank you!

[@Seancutshair]

I’m not following 100% but you would approach it the same way just shorter or with a fade on the sides

[@taraduddy7687]

@@Seancutshair yeah sorry it was a bit long lol. Ok that's what I figured. Thanks!

[@RyanAlca]

Dope cut as always. I have seen 99% of them now 😂 Off topic but I picked up the babyliss lopro influencers and I think I miss my rebels that I sold. Do you like them more than you did your boosted or do you miss those too like I do?

[@Seancutshair]

I liked the boosted but I wouldn’t say better or that I miss it. I like the weight of the lo pro better

[@adamc1046]

Can you wear a different shade of glove to make the hair you grab easier to see please?😃

[@Seancutshair]

Started recording without gloves for that reason!

[@deanheidebrecht1034]

Hi Sean m, just wonder what size and model of scissors you use the most?

[@Seancutshair]

I use a brand called fresh shears and my main shear is a 5.5”. I have a few videos on them

Good stuff man but you know most of the time we have a lot of clients.. couple quicker ways to do that. I understand for educational purpose 👍🏼 good tutorial ❤️💈

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah I mean if you’re in a fast paced shop a lot of what I teach may not be suitable. We operate on a longer appointment, higher price point at my shop, so we can do a little more detailed techniques and services

@@Seancutshair No disrespect, I understand how it could have been mistaken.. My fault definitely homie you kill it you're tutorials are A1 keep up the good work 👍🏼 and honestly for a tutorial it was brief 💪🏼 Definitely have to find that fine line to be productive and finished. Between you and Eddie best tutorials 👍🏼

[@djgrusm3367]

Question! How do you determine the ridge with the comb? I’m a bit confused.

[@Seancutshair]

It will be flat on the head then when it starts to round away from the comb that’s the start of the ridge

Did you leave the fade blade on your boosted clippers?

No it has the faper blade

Is the top section always gonna be even when you section it?

[@Seancutshair]

Not necessarily. More important you work with the natural growth pattern of the hair

[@THEPISSEDOFFBARBER]

cutting the top is faster and if they have product in don't wash it jus bash the product out with thinners in 30 seconds

[@Seancutshair]

Damn why didn’t I think of doing that?!?

Is this the dfs system Josh op uses?
