It actually surprises me that faded culture is so positive about this end result since detailing is key in faded culture’s cutting methods. There’s a lot of detailing left to be done in this haircut. Personally I also use the half guards attacking system (the faded culture system), but they use the #1 guard to clean up between the .5 and 1.5. I’m not here to be nice, I’m here to be real with ya’ll
@@ferryabdoel9972 I appreciate the honesty, I own up to the fact that this wasn’t my best work. I just wanted to get a video out to newer barber that are struggling to find a system that works for them. I’m the farthest thing from a distinguish barber, I’m still a young pup in the game, but I also know that if I had seem this system when I first picked up clippers, I would that much farther ahead now. Like I said though, I appreciate the honesty and feedback. It’s why I say at the end of every video, like it if you do, dislike it if you don’t, bc I want to know what people really think.
@@ferryabdoel9972 not all barbers are on the same level. This video would help someone with no cutting experience tremendously. Btw I couldn’t find any barbering videos on your page . 🤫
Seems like your into quantity not quality left so much work to be done lines everywhere but I’m sure it would be fire if you cared to finish the detailing only an opinion not hating
That’s awesome! Definitely encourage going back through and detailing more than I did in this video, but the general steps are perfect to get things started.
I use a similar system but I usually take time to detail with the corners of a 1 guard to really get the transition to pop in between the 0.5 section and the 1.5 to the bulk
This method is just a masterpiece. I started to learn to give myself a selfcut about 3 month ago and every method that I tried just take a lot of time and was very messy with all the lines that needs to be blended. Tried it today for the first time as the 4th cut I have ever done and it came decent and only took about half an hour. Great video.
Thank you TheBarberPhil for this gem I've been using the 1/2 attack for a couple weeks after I saw you use this in a video and it's THE TRUTH it works everytime and it had definitely sped up my cuts !!! Thank you and keep it up Phil!!!
Can’t wait to try this new technique on my first client this morning, looks a lot easier than the basic fading technique and more efficient. Just subscribed to your channel hopefully will learn more efficient techniques from you😎
Good job, his hair is like mine as soon as you go short it starts standing straight up but did good, wish me luck I take my written exam Thurs one step closer to my LIC...
Haven’t tried it yet but am going to try it tomorrow on a client who normally has a 0.5 fade. So rather than blending out the 0.5 I’ll be going straight from that into the 1.5 half open then eliminating the line with the 0.5 half open as in the video. Looking forward to seeing he result.
So Iv been using this method since about 2019. Before that I just kind of guessed my way through it, I went on a coarse in Amsterdam and they showed us this method. I also don’t really put a high bald line if I’m doing a high fade I use my 0.5 to determine how high I go. I also use my 0.5 before the trimmer line.
Confused on closing lever half way then full closed going up through the initial open guideline. Wouldn’t that make the fade uneven ?? Longer hair into shorter hair going up 🤔 Am I just tripping, cause don’t you open as you go up through a fade not closed, 😵💫🤯 it works and wanna try but I’m thrown off by that
Lol, it’s like a step above a skin/bald fade. You leave the bottom area around the ears and neck line long enough to line up. Hope I explained that correctly
I trying find best and quick system . Detachable system I use I like them but tell me can I smooth transition form zero guide to next guide with taper blade Wahl? Gamma in your hand work watching is very impressive
No, maybe even the opposite, this is for more beginner to intermediate barbers. Advanced barbers would add a lot more detail work. This is just a nice basic starting foundation method to fading.
I want to try this for my next cut but what’s stopping me is the detailing part to complete the blend. I would love if you told me (or made a video of) what guards and technique to use to blend out the rest of the lines on the 1/2 attack system. Killer video and content as always good sir
Flick a HALF open 1.5 into an open 2 or closed, set your bald line, do an open section, then the HALF open .5 guard flicks out the line between the top of the open section and the bottom of the half open 1.5.
Cut turned out awesome, but why dont u set AT LEAST your bald line all the way around? I feel like its a bit inconsistent and a pain to spitball/guesstimate where your lines are going compared to the previous section... obviously u can tell by the previous sections length but wouldnt it make sense to have at least ONE guideline go all the way around? Just curious!
It works some but I had to take my half guard all the way closed bc there was still a line. But I’m cutting my own hair and using a 3 way mirror, but it worked some , I haven’t used it on anyone yet bc I really dnt cut anymore besides me and my sons hair.
It’s for sure not a perfect system, but it’s simple. Some of that May also depend on which blades you’re using compared to me and if yours are zero gapped or not. All those things can change to outcome. Appreciate the support and feedback!
We call this technique over on this side of the world “Guard Skipping” (Australia) 🇦🇺 i use this technique and live by it, The only thing i would of done differently especially with his type of hair i would just put my #1 guard on and used my corners to detail the fade abit more but other than that fire 🔥 haircut my man! 🙏🏽
🙏🏼, appreciate the support from down under! That is definitely something I was missing early on when I started using this technique, the 1 guard for detailing
@@TheBarberPhil I am thinking about switching my taper blade to a fusion on my ergo. I already have a rebel with a fusion.. Would it be better to put a fusion on both or keep one taper? Also, what’s your take on the the stretch bracket? I’m about to start barber school and I want to lock down my tools/strategies before I begin
My honest opinion, very good haircut overal. Just 1 little thing, if you look at the back the left side was a bit off but i also blame his hair 😅😂 sometimes nothing you can do about that. I cut my own hair and that for me is also a spot that alway was weird. Its allready hard to cut your own hair but my fade game is on point, mostly because i look at vids like yours and other barbers so thanks for that. Now i leave it a bit longer so it blends more with the back and i dont fade to high anymore.
I got a question bro, you ever tried the Oster Octanes or other cordless detachables? Because i really don't know on which clipper i'd spend my money on. Oster Octane or Andis Supra ZR/ZR II or like the Andis Bgrc's?
I’ve only used the Supra ZR1 and the Octane. The octane is lighter, cuts a little slower, but does cut smooth. The Supra ZR1 is a little heavier, has adjustable speed with top speed being faster than the octane and the speed I use, it cuts through everything as well. Not sure which is cheaper. Also, I haven’t gotten to use the ZR2, so I’m not sure how much difference between 1 and 2
Get the octane. Trust me. Had the Supra 2 and sold after 8 months for a octane. I do full haircuts with octane. Well almost the whole thing. Supra I could never.
Did you have to adjust your ergos? Or did it just knock out that bald line the way it came? Also I have metal blades all the way down to 00000 is that what you used to bald it out?
I have the stretch bracket on my Rebel, so I zero gapped up or atleast very close. When I set my initial bald line in, whether it’s with my closed clipper, or flicking out with my detailer, I know that I can take that line out with my closed clipper. To bald out here, I believe I used my zero gapped Babyliss FX trimmers.
This is really good, if I were you I would sit back after you’re done cutting him and kind of observe the cut to see any missed spots or guidelines you can blend a bit More. Overall this is really clean. Good stuff!
@@TheBarberPhil haha hell yea, today as a matter of fact I have 6 appointments lined up. I’ma try it, but then just go back and clean up real good to make the fade pop. I feel like your method is what I’ve been looking for! Something to get the main work in there QUICK! But then just go back and polish wherever necessary. I APPRECIATE IT MAN! You taking the time to make a video and sharing some secrets, that’s so nice of you dude!
@@TheBarberPhil Dude it works!! I mean when I come back with the half guard I start off at 1/4 of the way open, then half way, then all the way. But as far as it working, IT WORKS!!! I was already doing a system where I was using the 3, 1.5, and OA from the detachables. But this system is a little bit more fine tuned, and I’m sticking with it. Again, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
I've been using the same technique for years but have 2 supras (zr1 and zr2) to avoid having to swap blades all the time. Also sometimes use the number 2 ultraedge blade👍
Definitely the quickest way for fade. Also for beginners. I used it yesterday two times. Once using Babyliss FX and second using Wahl Magic Clip. I think that it works better using taper blade (Babyliss) or not?? The steps was the same: Debulk #3closed. Then Baldline. Then no guard open taper. Then #1,5 halfway. Then #0,5 halfway. Am i right?? Opinion about my comment?? God bless you brother!
I like to cut my tops square on top, it helps every thing lay down. Try it. Half attack is a time saver too. I’ve been doing a slight variation of that my whole life.
🙏🏼,It should be either and open 2 or a closed 3. I’m gonna try getting a haircut where I remove the bulk on one side with the detachable 3 1/2 blade and then on the other side use a 2 open it 3 closed and see if comes out looking the same.
•Clear bulk with a closed 3 or open 2 •Half open 1.5 guard flick up into the 3 •set in bald line •Open section, blend it out until bad like is gone •half open .5 guard will connect the open section and 1.5 section •use the corners of a 1 guard for detail work

This is a good cut but to be honest as you already know, some spots were a little choppy. But overall good system to use in a pinch if you fall behind with a couple clients
The client asked for me to cut the top as short as I could, even if it required product to hold it. He said he wouldn’t even mind to make it a messy pushover.
I’m home bound vet and have not had a good fade in years. I think this is easy enough to be able to talk my nurse through it! Thanks for the great video! Proverbs 27:17
Nice cut as usual. He definitely went through a major transformation. I like that you keep the hard part as a fine line because it looks good that way for that texture of hair in my opinion. Also, now that we've already seen how his hair texture and color reacts to being cut down, I'd suggest leaving more length of bulk to finesse/cover some of the lighter spots especially on his box area on the left side where there's a blondish patch. He definitely has spiky hair similar to mine Lol. I have dark brown hair but if I cut it down low my scalp shows through a lot so I keep a slicked-back gentleman's cut these days. When I was in high school i did skin fades with a 2 or 3 on top.

Haven’t tried it yet but am going to try it tomorrow on a client who normally has a 0.5 fade. So rather than blending out the 0.5 I’ll be going straight from that into the 1.5 half open then eliminating the line with the 0.5 half open as in the video. Looking forward to seeing he result.
🤞🏼, I’m not saying it’s a flawless or foolproof system, but I personally have had a lot of luck with it
Could you also use this same system for tapers as well?
Yes you can, just come back in with the 1 guard for added detail.
I just commented the same thing. Thank you for asking and thank you for answering Phil🙏

Gotta try this at work tomorrow! Been trying to find a good fading system
Be sure and detail work after initial steps. The 1 guard is a good one to use between the .5 and 1.5
I feel like i have a problem with my blending being to high idk if its bc of my use of the half guard .
The half guard is not supposed to be used as a full section, just an eraser between two sections.
@@TheBarberPhil omg I figured this out 2 days ago and my fades turned out way better thx so much
So the half guard halfway open and then the half guard all the way open? I pretty much use this method in my fades before I saw this vid
👊🏼 The one and a half guard (1.5) and the half guard (.5) both halfway open.
@@TheBarberPhil I meant to say the 1.5 guard halfway open haha

Longer hair into shorter hair going up 🤔 Am I just tripping, cause don’t you open as you go up through a fade not closed, 😵💫🤯 it works and wanna try but I’m thrown off by that

What blade do you have on there fade or Taper
Taper blade for sue. I’m not against fade blades, I just prefer taper blades.
Phil can you do a mid fade video like this with a #1 on the sides?
Like a shadow fade?
@@TheBarberPhil Not sure what a shadow fade is but sure. Appreciate you bro!
Lol, it’s like a step above a skin/bald fade. You leave the bottom area around the ears and neck line long enough to line up. Hope I explained that correctly
@@TheBarberPhil Yes with a #1 guard closed on the sides!
Half guide half way lever to blend any guideline?
easiest fade system, simple & clean 🔥💯🙌🏻
🙌🏼, that’s what I like about it, hard to get confused or lost when it’s that simple
Could this system work the same with just guards instead of blades?
Yes. I believe a 2 open or a 3 closed should be very close to a 3 1/2 blade.
I trying find best and quick system .
Detachable system I use I like them but tell me can I smooth transition form zero guide to next guide with taper blade Wahl?
Gamma in your hand work watching is very impressive
It depends on if your Wahl taper blade is zero gapped or not!
Nice!!! I’m going to try this without the 1 guard! Thanks for the update
Sounds good, just come back in after the initial steps and do detail work using the 1 guards
@@TheBarberPhil tried your updated system with detailing at end with #1 guard and all my fades were clean and fast!!!
@@stephendonnini6682 NICE. So glad to hear it works for you. Appreciate the feedback
Is the half guard to 1 half method better than the traditional 1 guard to 2 guard method ?
I don’t want to say one is better than the other. I think that the half attack is slightly faster.
Thanks for the gem Bro!!! This system definitely allows you to get a nice blend easily and fast. It then allows more time for detailing. Fire cut!!!
👊🏼, exactly, it sets you up to have that extra time needed.
What would you use to cleanup dark spots? 1 guard open on dark spots?
Yes, and then same thing between the half open 1.5 and the guard you used to debunk the sides initially, but with the 2 guard open

Would you consider this more for advanced barbers ?
No, maybe even the opposite, this is for more beginner to intermediate barbers. Advanced barbers would add a lot more detail work. This is just a nice basic starting foundation method to fading.

I have the premium .5 guard, 1 guard, and 1.5. 2 and up is Babyliss
So a 1.5 open, then use your 0.5 half way to take the line out?💪

ergos, babyliss, or senior clippers ?! (Wireless)
I am going with the Ergos, hands down! So quite, smooth, lite, cut very clean!
@@TheBarberPhil bet thank you! 🙏🏽
I personally debulk with a #2 detachable and fade with my number 1 and .5 guard
My Oster Octane went out on me, so I haven’t been getting to use blade very much lately.

👊🏼 I definitely do need to do that more often.
Going to try this one today having trouble getting lost in the fade and leaving faint guide lines ! This may help
The system isn’t fool proof, but it is definitely pretty simplistic
I AM GONNA TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙌🏼, let me know how it goes.
@@TheBarberPhil haha hell yea, today as a matter of fact I have 6 appointments lined up. I’ma try it, but then just go back and clean up real good to make the fade pop. I feel like your method is what I’ve been looking for! Something to get the main work in there QUICK! But then just go back and polish wherever necessary. I APPRECIATE IT MAN! You taking the time to make a video and sharing some secrets, that’s so nice of you dude!
No problem brother!
@@TheBarberPhil Dude it works!! I mean when I come back with the half guard I start off at 1/4 of the way open, then half way, then all the way. But as far as it working, IT WORKS!!!
I was already doing a system where I was using the 3, 1.5, and OA from the detachables. But this system is a little bit more fine tuned, and I’m sticking with it. Again, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
would you say this fading technique works for all hair textures? btw luv the fading technique very time saving
Some hair textures or colors may require more detail work, but overall I feel like the steps do translate.
@@TheBarberPhil i appreciate your time! thank you 🙏🏾
I've been using the same technique for years but have 2 supras (zr1 and zr2) to avoid having to swap blades all the time. Also sometimes use the number 2 ultraedge blade👍
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
i think you could worked on a little bit more on the left side
I’ll go back and rewatch it again and see what I can learn. Appreciate the honest feedback
Fire 🔥🔥 for sure giving it a try 👍
Not the cleanest cut I’ve ever done, but the steps are what I wanted to really get out.
Definitely the quickest way for fade. Also for beginners. I used it yesterday two times. Once using Babyliss FX and second using Wahl Magic Clip. I think that it works better using taper blade (Babyliss) or not?? The steps was the same: Debulk #3closed. Then Baldline. Then no guard open taper. Then #1,5 halfway. Then #0,5 halfway. Am i right?? Opinion about my comment?? God bless you brother!
💯, you nailed it! And I believe your probably right, it works best with a taper blade.
You do nice cuts.
🙌🏼, appreciate that and you!
Thank you sir your video was justice 🔥🤞🏿
👍🏼, appreciate the support brother!
@@TheBarberPhil smh I forgot to subscribe lol but I’m locked in. Now 🤞🏿
@@Call_me_jackk appreciate you lol
I like this system
🙏🏼, I have found that it simplifies things for me and I never get lost in a fade anymore.
my guy💪🏾
💪🏼, appreciate your support brother!
I like to cut my tops square on top, it helps every thing lay down. Try it.
Half attack is a time saver too. I’ve been doing a slight variation of that my whole life.
Appreciate the tip!
Question, that first guide line when removing bulk what guard would it be equivalent to in the wahl system & also nice content 🙌🏻
🙏🏼,It should be either and open 2 or a closed 3. I’m gonna try getting a haircut where I remove the bulk on one side with the detachable 3 1/2 blade and then on the other side use a 2 open it 3 closed and see if comes out looking the same.
Can u write down the system in steps would be appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥
•Clear bulk with a closed 3 or open 2
•Half open 1.5 guard flick up into the 3
•set in bald line
•Open section, blend it out until bad like is gone
•half open .5 guard will connect the open section and 1.5 section
•use the corners of a 1 guard for detail work
Which camera are you using?
Dope cut as well 🙌🏻

@@TheBarberPhil thank you so much (:
@@josephfades you’re welcome, good luck
This is a good cut but to be honest as you already know, some spots were a little choppy. But overall good system to use in a pinch if you fall behind with a couple clients
👊🏼, 100% agree. Appreciate your support
Why did you texture cut the top? It creates lift. A straight cut would better suit this type of hair.
The client asked for me to cut the top as short as I could, even if it required product to hold it. He said he wouldn’t even mind to make it a messy pushover.
@@TheBarberPhil I am going to try your system. I Also like the David Fallas system Thanks.
@@napa7m115 I’ll have to look his up.
one love❤️
🙌🏼
I’m home bound vet and have not had a good fade in years. I think this is easy enough to be able to talk my nurse through it! Thanks for the great video!
Proverbs 27:17
Best of luck with that brother! Greatly appreciate your ultimate service and sacrifice.
Nice cut as usual. He definitely went through a major transformation. I like that you keep the hard part as a fine line because it looks good that way for that texture of hair in my opinion. Also, now that we've already seen how his hair texture and color reacts to being cut down, I'd suggest leaving more length of bulk to finesse/cover some of the lighter spots especially on his box area on the left side where there's a blondish patch. He definitely has spiky hair similar to mine Lol. I have dark brown hair but if I cut it down low my scalp shows through a lot so I keep a slicked-back gentleman's cut these days. When I was in high school i did skin fades with a 2 or 3 on top.
All good and valid points. Crazy enough, I haven’t cut him since lol. Appreciate the support and feedback!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💪🏼, you the man Jay
this guy should try a longer style so his crown can lay down. great cute tho bro, haven’t seen this system before
🙏🏼, I agree and may encourage going away from a combover in the future
@@TheBarberPhil Or maybe like a slicked back style.
