FINALLY! Someone who has the common sense to EXPLAIN the purpose of the lever on clippers, and what open lever vs. closed lever means. Thank you.
Ahaha! Gotta understand the lever
Too true
@@BTDUB1016 I have the same whal clippers, I thought i needed to buy expensive one but you destroyed that as an option for me its all about the skillz and process, thanks great video
Not an expert I’m just learning myself
open- takes less hair off/blades are further back
Close- takes more hair off/blades are closer to the metal
Exactly, I've watched several tutorials, and I've yet seen ANY showing "WHAT" open and close lever is, even tho, they all say it. I appreciate the brother for finally breaking it down for "Us" puppies of the game who don't know.
You really convinced me to start cutting my own hair man. Love how detailed and thorough you were. some barbers out here charging 30 to 40 a cut, plus tip. Crazy
Mannnn, so true! And will give you an average joe cut. Let me know how the self cut journey is goin
fax bro its even crazier for someone like me who only gets a taper
Yea I cut my own hair they charge 30 dollars for a fade plus a tip. I bought some clippers in the pandemic and started fading my hair and now I am getting better I ain't going back to no barbershop paying 30 dollars every 2 weeks. Thanks to him en courge me I doing it myself
@@tysonbrown how hard is it to start cutting your own hair?
@@zeed8728 took me 5 times to get the hang of it main think is must have 2 mirrors if not it won't work.
This tutorial was so good I didn't even realize it was 38 minutes long. It was thorough and detailed and I loved every minute of it. Thank you. I also appreciate the lady who helped you film this for her camerawork.
Thanks so much for that feedback Robert! We appreciate it
You're the man Robert!
Hands down, the best tutorial I’ve seen. From the explanation of the blade spacing, to open/closing of the lever, working with and against the grain, to gradients, to the clean up...
Much appreciated Adrian! Definitely tried to cover as much as I could
@@BTDUB1016 an did!
Not the hero we deserved, but he is the hero we needed.
Lol! Too funny. Preciate it boss
Bro I really just cut my own hair for the FIRST time because of this video. Thank you!!
I’ve watched a LOT of tutorials but none have been as detailed and educational as yours honestly
Much appreciated! Definitely tried to give more intricacies vs what’s normally in a tutorial
I just bought a self cutting 360 mirror so I can get better at cutting the back of my head. Thank you for this detailed video. I no longer want to pay my barber, like $50 every few weeks. Keep up the good work with the content.
Camera focus was killin me haha -- but even with that, this is still the best tutorial I've seen. I appreciate the help, man!
Thanks Riven! Glad you found it helpful
@@BTDUB1016 immaculate
@@christianwyatt2059 thanks Christian!
@@BTDUB1016 there is barbers out there who would do a worse job, I’ve experienced it
great vid, just needed back the cam off 8 inches
Wow! I was impressed how nice it came out. You made it look so easy. I'm a white guy and I've been cutting my hair since I started college. I was 23...I had just come from Vietnam on an aircraft carrier five weeks earlier and had my discharge. I am now 77 and still cutting what little hair I have left. 😉
Kitty hawk 👀 go navy! Lol thanks for your service brother, the baby is what started me cutting my hair too. Barbers on base were terrible
huge respect for including that last step: sanitizing/disinfecting your dome!!! dudes in these other videos seem to skip over this and other details you take time to describe.
Mannn, sanitation is so important. You can a clean fade ruined by a nape or neck full of infected bumps
This dude is a genius I watch this video every 7-10 days to fade my hair!! We love you King! Thank you for giving us our power back!! 💯
Great video! Here's my routine, including some tricks you may find useful:
1. I put *colored tape* around my head to mark a first guideline just above my eyebrows. Then I shave up to the tape with open clippers (without guard).
2. I place a second colored tape below the first band, completely parallel and just above my ears. Everything below that tape I make completely bald using my electric razor.
3. I use anywhere between half open and closed trimmer without guard to fade out the low guideline. For the precision work I use a Remington detail trimmer (works on AA battery).
4. I use anywhere between open and closed (with or without guard, depending on the area) to fade out the high guideline. Here I will also use the Remington for the precision work.
5. I use the Remington detail trimmer to create the line-up on my forehead.
The tape lets you create precise guidelines that you can then easily follow and fade out. Regardless it will take quite some practice to get it right, but approach it systematically and it will continue to improve. Hope this helps!
Please make a video of your process if you don't mind
@@thabiso3299 lol I wanna see the tape on his head too I know it works but it just sounds 🤣
When you said lemme put on my glasses to see clearly, I felt that lol
Lol! If I had 20/20, I might just take faded to another level
By far the best self cut tutorial I've watched. Just followed along and my fade looking crispy. Thanks!
Much appreciated Vernon!
I don't like to criticize nobody's work so I'm just going to pick you up and much respect for you taking it to a professional level
You’ve now saved me £15 every two weeks thanks
There we go!
😂 that’s it, bro since covid barbers in my area charging $50 or more 🤔 I’ve been cutting my own since 2008 though
Your haircuts are nice. You were very thorough and took your time explaining. You’re lucky you can perform a professional cut at home. Save a lot of money!
Thanks Daniel! A time saver and a money saver 😆
MY man awesome tutorial I'm going to buy some clippers friday and follow your guide step by step!!!!!!!!!!!!! 40$ for a cut and your fade looks better to me. So thanks for show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mannnn this was well explained & detailed, I’ve learned so much by watching this video. Self Fading Vs. paying someone else to do what you can learn w/ a little patience & consistency Pays Off. Greatest self tutorial video on UA-cam by Far ! And now I’m my own barber and it’s a good feeling making yourself look good when ever you want for $0.
Much appreciated! And you are absolutely right. It’s a different type of satisfaction hookin up yourself
Don't forget to tip yourself, don't be cheap or stingy! LOL
Clean ass cut from a 20$ clippers 👌🏾
Thanks Shakhiry! Not about the tools..all about how you use em.
Wow This guy does professional job cutting his own her that’s so cool and amazing
Solid tutorial. Out of all the ones I’ve watched you’re probably the most detailed when it comes to explaining the lever function.
Thank you boss!
Fresh cut bro - looking like a young bother Malcolm!
Ahaha! I always get that. Much love ✊🏾
In that dark room, you got that fade looking crispy.
Haha! Much appreciated
Been cutting my own hair since 1987 when I moved to Atlanta from a small town in Va. Should have gotten my barber's license years ago. Nice tutorial. Easy to understand. I have always struggled with fading.
Much appreciated Percyval! Since 87’ is a long time in the game
Thanks for sharing this video! I cut my hair for the first time with a few mistakes, but I was able to correct them by your guidance.
You just don’t tell us what the guard you use, but you give us explanation on why you use the guard for that specific technique.
This was the best tutorial of beginners cut!!
Thanks Keneth! We’re going to make sure we have a guard legend in future videos so that’s easier to follow for you all
This video has actually changed my life. I now save £20 haircuts because of this video.. Thanks!
Love it!
Dude save himself $45 every 2 weeks
Where tf u getting 45$ hair cuts
@@Valenteenn mine 50 so hes about righty im in maryland so
Shoutout to wifey for holding the camera and sticking in that long. My wife woulda been done after 10 minutes 😂😂 nice cut and tutorial brotha
Bro, this is edited. She definitely took like 4 breaks 😂
This is so helpful young brotha! I will certainly pass your link on to the men in my world. Thank you so much!
Erik Killmonger voice: Hey Auntie
@@danielsmithiv1279 Heeey!!!
This guy is really good and explains how to do a bald fade yourself. I have searched and searched for a video like this one! Thanks man!
Definitely one of, if not THE best diy hair cut videos I've ever seen. Job well done, from the fade to the line up, to the beard, to clean up at the end with the disinfecting to keep the bumps away! A+ in my opinion! Five stars.
Thanks so much David!
I love this tutorial. I’m uncoordinated. I’m bald now. Good stuff though. My first haircut so I’m not too sad. Work is gonna be interesting though. I’ll try again in a couple of weeks.
@MassPlug You know it, brotha. took me a lot longer than i expected to get the hang of it but i aint bald no more. much thanks.
Just wanna say thanks for this video bro. I followed everything step by step and got it done. I'd say 7/10 for my first time. I'm sure with more repetition it will get easier and more crispy. Thanks again.
Glad you used the video for help Nate. You'll definitely get crispy with practice!
During the pandemic I've been tremendously slipping on my grooming...during this time the prices of haircuts have gone up to like $25-28...I haven't found a barber in ATL that cuts my hair like how I want it to look...so I'm going to try to cut my own hair based on this video tutorial. Good looking out bro...this was very informative! Bravo!
That’s a lot of work but looks like you got it down fade looks clean and looks better than a lot of barbers I’ve been to plus haircuts are getting crazy expensive I have to get a cut a minimum of 2 times a month. If it took you less than an hour to do this yourself a trained barber that does this for a living and has the advantage of not having to hold a mirror in one hand they have no excuses not to be able to do this quality of work in 15-20 minutes. Yes I’m a little bitter 😂 because I’m tired of these crazy prices plus appointment cost added tip’s which can turn a $25 haircut (already expensive) into a $40-$50 haircut.
Lol! Feel and hear you on every word Luis
Glasses? This man was blind the whole time fading like that?
Congratulations as well✊🏿
I just said the same-thing lol
yo man I been self cutting for years too lol, I learnt from other UA-cam tutorials but I wish this was here years ago cause its by far the most handy one I came across. results look sick too
Much love Brannin!
Explained in a way that normal people can understand. Thank you best tutorial I have watched 🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Thanks so much!
One month later, and I’m back black and faded. Not nearly as good as the maestro here, but damn do I feel good. With more practice I might not even need a tutorial. Thanks for help man, you and your wife be blessed
That’s a beautiful thing Kaje! I’ve got full confidence you’ll get to a point where a tutorial isn’t needed. Gotta start somewhere tho
Great vid. Just gave myself a clean fade. Now no more waiting for hours to get a cut 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks boss! That’s the the goal!!
A year ago in quarantine I was looking for the best tutorial to do the balding fade hair cut and this is the best video that I’ve seen to date and really helped out a lot.
Much appreciated Caleb!
Came here for the crown part and you delivered. Exactly the approach I was thinking about.
Yes indeed. Gotta be strategic on that spot! Lol
I literally just got done cutting my hair! I WISH i can send u a picture to see how good i did.. Its literally 100% because of u! Best video i ever watched on youtube in my life! I know yall keep it simple on the replies! But i truly want to thank you!
Let’s goooo bro! Appreciate that feedback. You’ll only get better!
Pro-tip: Use a thin hair-band to have a good even line from both sides and the back
I should’ve listened
🤣
I just wanna say thank you bro, I have followed your video step after step and I can proudly say I have giving myself the best haircut I could ever dream of, I wish I did this 5years ago.. God bless bro
Thanks Clovis! You’ll only get better
Most complete and methodical self cut tutorial. Thanks so much man. Appreciate it.
Glad it helped you John!
Fantastic tutorial. Very knowledgeable about the entire process. I appreciate your taking the time to put this up. Many thanks.
You're very welcome!
I’m a female and I am working on my waves. I just ordered a trimmer today and I already have a set of new clippers. You have helped me tremendously although I do not plan on keeping my hair this high up for a fade but rather super short. Your video has been a template for me to get it right. Thank you kindly and take care.
Let’s goooo! Thanks for checking it out. Glad it helped you
Lol
Today was my first time cutting my own hair and I watched your video. Thanks! It came out pretty good! I like how you explained the difference in the guards and their purpose! Made a lot of sense.
You are very welcome! So glad it’s helping you
Cheers mate!! Literally just finished my first ever self-haircut in my life!! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial. Started with a lot of trepidation but didnt do too shabbly...its passable I think 😀. Lessons learnt for my next one! All the best from the UK 🇬🇧
No problem Mike! Appreciate your feedback and glad it turned out presentable ahaha
This is by far the best self cut video I’ve seen, nice and easy to understand
Glad it was helpful Nic!
This deserves more likes!!
Ahaha! Thanks Samantha
By far one the best tutorial I’ve seen for fade haircut. 💯
Thank you boss!
Great tutorial! my hair and beard happened to be the EXACT same length at yours when starting, so following step by step was that much easier! You saved me a trip to the barber AND i look good after doing it myself! (first time fading too. I've always just lined myself up or cut evenly down to a 1). Again, great stuff!
Thanks Brandon! You’re exactly who I made it for. Glad it came out sharp
Thank god I find this man these barbers be focusing on the haircut more than explaining
Let’s gooo! Glad you came it across it Muhammad
Great video!!. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and for providing such great detail. I've tried this a few times before and have always had a problem with the "crown" area. I kept creating a bald spot. Hopefully after watching this I'll get it right.
Yes indeed! Always practice precaution in that area. Guards are your friend
I've mastered the slef fade takes me 20 minutes now. Even with the part. Don't forget, constant brushing esp around the crown. Hair grows in different directions around the hair. Thats how I get my hair even all around.
Going right into my favorites list! I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of scared but this year has been rough and I'm tight on cash so I have to start saving money wherever I can! Wish me luck!
Aha I saved immediately
This is awesome! I've been cutting my hair for several years now, but the cut is very basic with my best attempt at a lineup. After watching this video, I really look forward to experimenting with a new style. Thanks!
Let’s go Jasmine! You are welcome
Been cutting my own hair same fade style since late April early may and I just switched to to these exact wahl clippers and this was helpful! My last set never had a 1/2 guard so I was nervous to start using it but this just restored all faith! Thanks for sharing🤘🏾
Your tutorial is the BEST I've seen damn! Cut my hair today following your video ( never did it before ) and it came out mad decent. Not perfect, but I won't feel self conscious at all when going out
Much appreciated boss!
Best Haircut tutorial hands 🙌 down!
Much appreciated Xiannon!
First time cutting my own hair , my girl said it’s pretty good lol don’t look too bad thanks bro !!
If ya girl’s a fan, that’s all that matters. Good stuff bro!
Nicely done man. I have the same exact wall clippers man the Walgreens wall! It works perfectly fine for me I bought a very expensive clipper and tbh they cut the same. But yeah I also fade and cut my own hair been doing it for a very long time. My mom was a barber when I was young so after watching her do it so many times I just kept doing my own til I finally got it right.
When sis said show the open/ close one more time I wanted to give a hug. Brilliant homegirl
Lol! She knew what the people needed
Yeah I felt that
You did a great job with the wahl color
Clean cut..Love the end product
More videos
I subbed up
Cheers!
Thank you! I’ll be posting a drop fade tutorial soon, so stay tuned!
Yo bro really appreciate these tips! They work man fr.
It takes 1h5mins to cut my own hair and now am used to it.
How long did it take you to learn?
@@Mike-hr4qs I can say just 1year but in the beginning you don't expect it to be perfect as the way you want, that mistakes you make are your goals at the end.
@@Ismael_jagne How did you get the will to start ? I'm sure you messed up at first right, and what did you do ?
@@russianspysleazeball1126 yes of course at first it was bad but as time goes on am used to it now, the main thing is to focus when doing it and then the rest you will see after ready..
Your a life saver! After watching countless self cutting tutorials this one is by far the best.. thank you for breaking every step down to where anybody can understand 🙏 good shit!
Much appreciated! If you have thoughts for other hair/grooming tutorials, let me know
Good tutorial but on another note I love the background music! Smooth shit!
alwayz had a major problem cutting the back of my head and onetime even messed up so bad i had to shave the entire hair and wear a beanie and caps for a month coz my hair grow hella slow😂😂🤦🏿♂ . brilliant explanation and tutorial king. shoutout from south africa 🙌🏿
Aye, I’ve been there before too with the beanie of shame lol. Gotta start somewhere tho! Much appreciated tho boss
On the 1.5 Wahl Guard, bend the clip inward and it will no longer shake.
Props to you on showing people what an open lever is & closed lever, also tight bald fade u have
Thanks Nate!

I hear you JJ. I’m right with you on that. Appreciate the watch!

Ahaha! That is too funny! Preciate the feedback
I followed your instructions step by step & just cut my son’s hair because his barber is sick..Thank you for such a detailed video.
You’re welcome TK!
I've cut my hair for at least a decade and still can't fade. I constantly get lost with the layers. Looking at my own hair, i can't tell if a 1.5, 1 is needed, especially a 1.5 open, mid, closed, a 1 open, mid, closed etc. You got insane skills, because a self cut fade is one of the hardest cuts you can do.
It most definitely comes with lots of practice. If I didn’t cut others before trying on myself, I doubt I would’ve tried it again. I’d say find tutorials on your type of hair textures to give you more tips on what guards to use
