    Hi Alex,
    I just did my second haircut with my new clippers. Had never cut my own hair until now. Your video gave me a lot of confidence that I could do it my self! The first hair cut I said to my self, this is a better haircut than I get at a salon. The second time, I realized that it's best to go slow, go steady, stay calm. It's another great haircut. I'm not getting my hair cut done by anyone else again.

    This is great advice. For beginners, a great hack to create an even line all around the head is to take an old baseball cap and cut off the bill. Place it on your head and cut all the hair below accordingly. Once you gain some experience and get comfortable cutting your own hair, i recommend starting with the back line first before doing the sides, making sure the centerline is even. It makes adjusting the sides much easier when you know the back is straight. I've been cutting my own hair for over 25 years, since i was 13. I must say, that to this day there's nothing that makes a man feel sexier than a fresh fade and a brand new wife beater. In combination, it's a sure shot way to feel like a million bucks!!

      @@christianruano2761 the tricky part at first is cutting the back as everythings in reverse, I used two mirrors to start with and getting used to doing everything backwards. Honestly its like anything, the more you keep trying itll become 2nd nature. Ive actually got used to where the fade starts, ends etc I can cut it all now without a 2nd mirror but as I say ive been at it for a very long time. Its dead handy though as you can cut your hair anywhere you like 😁 on holiday, at 1am, lockdown etc.

    Had my first haircut today💇🏻
    It was not at all possible to be done without any help. And this would require like tons of practice.
    it took me 3 hours to patiently do this.
    But the final product was perfect and like pro hair cut. kudos to my Dad who helped me.
    All the tips in this video helped. This is a perfect video 👍🏼
    I saw this video 4 times before starting the hair cut.
    If you are going to try this, make sure you have a lot of patience.
    I had my experience of fading from shapping my beard and that helped.
    Well, you need to have a back up plan if you are trying to do the same.
    My BACKUP plan was a military cut. This same fade technique will help. But in the top you can trim with highest settings of your trimmer.
    Also someone to help you if you are stuck.
    Cutting your Hair in your back would require help.
    And fear is good, but target it through patience.
    Also, dont let your hair grow a lot. Try this while your hair is medium. It will give you more confidence.
    Now I can do this again. 😅😃

Its easier than you think, but you need good tools, respect for the process, focus and patience. and get your self pro tools, i.e. pro clipper.... like moser T-cut for example and pro level scissors, and watch some youtube tutorials on how to cut \ sculpture your hair, its actually very therapeutic and fun, better than yoga for shure.

      @@maneeoocho350 I tried fading my own hair because all barbers are closed right now for quarantine and I messed up my fade big time. It's higher on one side and lower on the other and I couldn't blend it well either so the guidelines are still noticeable. Also I ended up buzzing the top. But at least no one will see my quarantine fade by the time this is over😂

    Just tried my first home cut today, it went great! Thank you so much bro. It definitely took me a couple hours. But the fade is just as good as my former barber gave me. I used the same exact Wahl trimmer you used in the video. Some tips that really helped me: 1.) I used the pre-existing fade line I got from my barber at my final hair cut with him. 2.) I put on an athletic stretchy headband to have a set line.

    Thank you! I have been cutting my own short hair style 3 times, each time successfully, having an "okay" haircut afterwards. I am still learning to get better though, I want a real good one. I normally start in the reverse direction, with the long guard first and going down the hairline to the short ones. With your parting techniques I am sure I will do it better next time. :-) Still practising, but each time it gets better!

      Thank you for watching! I feel like you definitely could. I just watched one of your videos to see your hair length. I would say,
      1. Use no guard or #1 guard for the sides and back
      2. Use a #2 & #3 guard for the corners that connect your back and sides to your top
      3. Use maybe a #6 or #7 guard for your top
      Best of luck! Much more content coming soon! 😃

    I personally think the whole, "don't use any clippers at this part" can be EXTREMELY dangerous, because with my type of hair, I go from 4 to 1 (depending on how far my hair has grown) and 1 has always been my fading guard, and the others are my pre-fade guards to set the foundation. so on a normal basis, with my hair length that I normally have before I cut my hair, I start from 3 and end at 1, 1 is always perfect because 1 is the perfect length so that I fade my hair, without making myself look like I'm half bald. so please, whoever is watching this PLEASE, do NOT use the sheer without clippers, you could literally cause yourself to get a bald spot. instead, gradually go from the biggest guard to the smallest guard, to experiment with the length, because going straight to NO guard, is quite honestly stupid. have a good day and thank you for coming to my Ted talk. oh, and btw, if you wanna trim your hair, just use the biggest guards, unless you have short hair. the point is, go from biggest to smallest, to experiment with the length. always get to know your tools

    I cut my own hair, this is a really good instructional video. You've helped me a lot with practicing my fade. Trimming the top is a little different for me though. I have a very narrow and rounded head shape and also a receding hairline that gives me quite a widow's peak. The fade techniques apply all the way, but if i trim the top using the parameter guidelines you showed, I'm gonna be one goofy looking dude lmao. My head shape needs more of a high fade undercut look and shorter length on top because my hair just doesn't grow the same way yours does. However, the same stuff still applies with blending and fading. Thanks for the tips!
