I started trimming my own neck hair using 2 mirrors (bathroom mirror + handheld) almost a decade ago, and as i got more comfortable with it within a few months, i moved to dry shaving the back of my neck once a week. Now it only takes me about 2-3 minutes to quickly do a thorough dry shaving job before i hop into the shower. Its all about slow and steady experience and eventual dexterity. Even the barbers/hair stylists are fooled into thinking I don't grow any neck hair and comment as such.

Excellent Michael! That was exactly what i was looking for. Your method is better than I was doing and will help me do a better job. Surgery and bashing your face comments keep your videos "real" love it! Question though. Order of things. Sides/back first, then top? Obviously the trimming of the edges is last.
That's the exact order. I always start on the right side and work my way in a horseshoe shape to the left. Then the top, then join it up. Then polish the whole thing up with the edges. The mirror I'm the face had to go in there 🤣
I would also suggest, from experience, to take a few test runs with the clippers off because it's easy to get mixed up and go left when you mean to go right or worse, go up when you mean to go down.
Thx for sharing. I love these tips and your little 8yo barber too. He’s great and your are brave and a great Dad. Just one thing. Your neck line trim? Looks like you were trimming down into your sweater 🤔
Thanks Dozer. Yes I normally go just below the t shirt line. It looks cleaner. Not that I'd trim my back 😬 but a haircut looks better in my opinion if there isn't hair sprouting out around it
In my experience this can be the most frustrating part of growing your hair out. Until you have decent length the ears force the hair out in funny directions. I would keep pushing it behind the ear and persevere until it's longer. Any cutting will only set you back
Advice needed.being bald/balding I use a wet electric head shaver for my head the back of my neck goes red and I get bumps/pimples on the back of my neck I have tried different shave oils,shave creams but always get irritation.any advice to remove the back of neck hair without the irritation?
I think you need to cut it longer for a while and let it clear up. It could be I growing hair and it could be metal irritation. It may also be the case that you have a skin condition that need the attention of a dermatologist or trichilogist. But the first step is cut it longer like a .5 guard.
Wow, been REALLY enjoying your videos - they're my go-to for all things "barbery" (okay, that's probably not a word but... 😋). Also, relieved to see I'm not the only one whose face and handheld mirror have collided! Deffo not a painless thing (especially if you do it more than once in a session 🤦😂). Actually glad you left that in, it sure gave me an unexpected & much needed burst of laughter (SO relatable!) and it's part of what makes your channel unique and personable. 👏😁👏 I come for the educational stuff and love the "bonus content"! 😁😁 Keep up the wonderful work, Michael!! 🌠Wishing you all the best in 2021🌠 from across the pond near Toronto ❄️*brrr*❄️ ~ 🇨🇦Jordan🇨🇦
Thanks so much Jordan, I am so pleased to hear everytime the channel is of use to a viewer. And Toronto is probably my favourite city I've been too. I went late summer when it was about 20°c just a perfect temperature. But the following week I'm sure there was about a meter of snow. I can't imagine how cold it gets for you at this time of year. ☃️
With the t outliner you need to take the blade off and there are two very small adjuster screws inside, looses them and pull the blade back a little then reassemble.
Great tips and all mate, but why in the hell of all things are you doing the cutting in a hoodie...you've got me feeling all itchy in my neck now bro loool
You can also do it with a razor. Just use a small layer of shaving cream so you can see your hairline. Be careful of not cutting too deep into your hairline
It's really difficult trimming your own neck hair. Getting my arms behind me whilst also trying to make it clear to the camera is quite tricky. But you are right ideally no hair should go down the neck.
Great tip. A lot of popular UA-cam grooming "specialists" never mention that neck area to be trimmed.

I just started trimming my neck hair and shaping up my side burns in between haircuts . It makes a big difference!!!
Hahaha the bashing yourself in the face with the mirror line made me laugh out loud
I couldn't edit that out. It had to stay in 🤣
@@theoneminutebarber ROFL! Love ya! OUCH!
Cutting hair with hoodie is crazy lol
It's making me so uncomfortable and itchy watching this! 😅

Thanks I've been cutting my own hair for 6 months and needed a bit of guidance on unruly neck hair.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much, finally got rid of the annoying hair on my neck
Kept going slow because I wouldn't be able to go out if I messed up 😅
2:30 I still shave 🪒 my neck hair every other day along with my face.

That’s a good tip
What a good video nobody in New York do that like this apparently
Thanks Fabian
Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir!
thanks my guy i kinda needed this my dad out of nowhere asked me to cut his hair and i have absolutely 0 experience 😀🙏‼️
I hope it helps
Great video.
Also, I love the chairs you have in the shop!
They are classic Belmont Dainty chairs. Same chair that Belmont has been making since 1970
Good job. Looks perfect as it how it should

Beware of the mirror ! 😂 thank you ! Very informative
Haha can’t believe I caught that moment on camera
Thanks man!
That neck hairline at 1:47 on the video didn't looked that bad compared to most barber's work of art
Thank you 😊
@@theoneminutebarber Correction it was 1:41
just tried it doing myself looks abit scuffed but its prolly fine.
Thanks. Do you by chance have a video on doing it around ear area? I want to grow my hair without looking messy
In my experience this can be the most frustrating part of growing your hair out. Until you have decent length the ears force the hair out in funny directions. I would keep pushing it behind the ear and persevere until it's longer. Any cutting will only set you back
Love the accent lol
Brilliant video,thanks!
Thank you ink and for your support 🙌🙌🙌
Great video.
He sounds just like Stephen Hendry!

Thanks! I have a hairline like yours in the back. I only notice it when it gets long enough to grab, oops
Great video
Thank you so much for your help and tricks..
I did it :)

Very helpful, thanks my friend 🙏
Any chance of a video like this for tidying up around your ears?
Definitely. I'll add that to the list. 👍👍👍
I was just thinking the same thing 😀
Will try this next time …. I went way to high this time and looks ridiculous
If you don't mind it short you could always taper it in. Although tapering can be a little tricky yourself.
Thanks for video
thanks!
Great one mate! 👍
I have the same trimmers but every time I cut my neck hair I end up with cuts all over the back of my neck. Any recommendations?
Wes you have an overlap on your blade, so your top (moving) blade needs to be sitting behind the bottom blade.
With the t outliner you need to take the blade off and there are two very small adjuster screws inside, looses them and pull the blade back a little then reassemble.
Great tips and all mate, but why in the hell of all things are you doing the cutting in a hoodie...you've got me feeling all itchy in my neck now bro loool
😂 I ask myself that every time I watch this video
I don't have an electric razor (nor want one. I have beard shaver). I need to know how to do it with other equipment.
You can also do it with a razor. Just use a small layer of shaving cream so you can see your hairline. Be careful of not cutting too deep into your hairline
I loved this video and I'm a girl 😊
How do I fix that hairline like in the video? I've got bald spots from the barber going up too far
Hi Jon. You could try this method. I'm not sure the length but if it's this short then it can be tapered ua-cam.com/video/IVFeIf-eKyo/v-deo.html

That's a brilliant idea 🙌
mate has a wool sweater under his shirt lol
😂
In a hoodie?! Come onn
It does lie quite flat. But fair point. A hoodie is not the best.
Like it's had an operation 😂
Have you ever tried a neckline template, like one of the many sold on Amazon?
I've never tried them but will have a look 👍
You can actually make one.
Anyone here to learn new English vocabs?
Thank you , that neck hair is the worst thing ..
can i use the razor to do that ?
Of course. Just be careful. Good luck
Why u wearing a sweatshirt when trimming 😂
It’s not a fashion show 😂
How to cut a man's thick curly hair
As soon as I get a client with that hair type I'll make the video
You're gorgeous
Thank you ☺️
I only have 1 murder unfortunately
Lol.
Why are you combing your cut hair into your jacket... gah that makes me cringe
It's really difficult trimming your own neck hair. Getting my arms behind me whilst also trying to make it clear to the camera is quite tricky. But you are right ideally no hair should go down the neck.
Everyone uses Andis clippers. First one I got, it died in the first week. They were expensive, too. Brand new.
Did you send them back? Which clipper was it?
