- Today I'm gonna show you guys my technique for blending into length to safely come in and fade or taper underneath. A lot of us struggle when cutting into a lot of hair. We end up taking it too high and ruining the shape of the haircut. I'm going to show you guys how to stack guards and fade down to create a baseline, then come in and fade underneath. This technique should greatly help you guys keep your fades and tapers where you want them!

Fading down is a technique more barbers should get a custom with. One of the easiest ways to get that blurry look on your fades. It is a master technique.
Definitely not an easy way but it can help in certain situations
I keep seeing this. I wanna get started again fading with the grain
@@shehateme9955 in my honest opinion I think its a technique better suited for straight hair fades but the fade will be damn near perfect.
@@jisrael8256 appreciate you. What pro clippers you suggest for @home?
@@shehateme9955 I'm a big believe in its not the clippers, it's the barber. You should find a clipper that you're comfortable with. I'm an "old school" barber so I still prefer the Adis masters and and the Walh's seniors. Both brands to me have a variety of clippers. Texture of hair is a point of consideration when choosing a clippers as well. The real strength is knowing what your clipper can do. And make sure you clipper has a good guard or comb system. A half guard up to at leatst to a 6 guard.
Love your honesty Bro! Some canvas can be difficult. It’s good to see even the pros have issues sometimes.
Yeah man every head is different so I run into it just like anybody else!
You are 1 in a million trainer. You use the CORRECT language! You are amazingly great!
I love how u do ur vids w no music until u break down what u came to teach, then u do a montage thank u 🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This color coded guard and key is amazing. helps so much when watching! amazing content and cuts too! keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Great tutorial...fading down method. Definitely learned alot. 90 percent of young guys coming up get the low temp fade...fade the neck our. If you can do this cut...you can pretty much master anything. Very popular cut...not an easy cut.
Thank you!
Learned everything about this. Thanks. I actually did this on my self. Step by step watching this video
Nice!
Skip tapers a good technique as well man. Possibly another jewel. Stacking definitely good technique for beginner barbers. Safe 💪🏼
💯💯💯
one taper is higher than the other which shows that while it’s easier to not go super high on the taper, it’s also more likely to not match both of the sides to each other. clean cut tho 👌🏽
I disagree but thanks for the feedback
Its a marginal difference, also camera and lightning doesnt catch what a human eye would see
I’m new to cutting hair and have been struggling to keep my tapers low. This video will definitely help, I will be using this technique on myself and others.
Glad it was helpful!
Yesterday I just upgraded from a corded Legend to a cordless Magic Clip and my first self cut with the Clip was great. Some of the best blending I've ever done, but I did blend too high (shorter stretch bracket on the Magic Clip). This video was timely af for me! 🎯
Nice! Yeah cordless is soooo much better!
@@Seancutshair agreed.. what goes unnoticed is how you are much more free to move around and get the proper lighting on your hair, whereas corded you may be stuck to a particular angle to the lights and always missing certain spots of hair.
I got staggered tooth ceramic blades on three of my clippers because of the magic clips, I don’t like the short battery on the magics working at the shop but other than that the magics are money, the weight and speed of the clippers are good for blending.
@@jt2475 do you think ceramic blades stay sharp longer than steel? Also which blades did you go with? I see a bunch on Amazon and half of the comments for them make it seem as though they don't fit the magic clip cam follower shape.
Try free hand/ clipper over comb for the blend!
Too risky! My goal is to teach safe techniques for beginners
I learned that you’re not gonna say any names… But to eliminate going too high it is necessary to check yourself by stacking guards right on top of one another
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Just started watching you vids but it gave me so much insight and direction on how to cut
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Not only is the education 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but this instrumental is crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯🙌🏿
🦾🦾🦾
Definitely learned or should I say Definitely will use that technique.. it really helps with the longer hair and not taking the fade too high. Thanks for the tips fam
Yessir it works wonders
That's dope. I always go to high going the opposite way
Yeah that’ll happen. Try this and see if it helps!!!
This the only way i Cut frfr
Start off wit the biggest guard imma use and fade down, it's so much easier to prevent mistakes like that n it's jus how I like to do it
Nice 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Great tutorial sean i appreciate it, been forcing myself to learn to stack guards because those compressed haircuts have been killing me
Yeah this should help accomplish those!
do more fading down vids please
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love these type videos thanks Sean
Welcome 🙏🏼
You are one of the best barber! I wish you teach a day class. Would definitely get training from you!
I’m doing classes all over this year maybe you can make one
I’m a hairstylist. You think I can attend the class? Where would it be? I know my co working would like to attend too.
@@danielnucefora8111 yes stylist can come. We have Houston next weekend. Chicago, LA, Boston, New York are on the list
When is the Boston one?
Always bringing the heat with your amazing videos and those fresh cuts. 🔥💯
Thank you 🙏🏼 I try!
man I wish you would of done the back part of the taper in slow with the step by step this is dope thanks new to barbering learning a lot. if you can do a back part of a taper step by step thanks
I have a video on his back taper
Appreciate the slow teaching in the beginning and then the speed up through the rest but you must show a slow it down video of the back because he had some difficult hair to blend in the back 😂
But it looked like you had to take the 2 up a little higher and then work back down. Looked real clean great job my brother 🔥🔥
I have a couple tutorials on his back taper and this cut. Go check it out!
Thanks family 👌🏾
Welcome!
fire video needed this!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Another Gem 💎
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Nice vid you explained really well
Glad you liked it!
@seancutshair you never fail to impress. Best barber for sure
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The way his hair is growing in the back I knew it was gonna be difficult, clean one tho
Yeah it’s ugly
Strange 🤔 from guard stacking to a conventional taper in same video. Only difference I seen was using the #4 guard first to take out bulk rather than using the #4 guard last. No pun intended. Keep pushing the dope videos out. ✌️
Yeah it’s all about compressing the 4-3-2 and then tapering into it
I wanted him to mention some of those barbers names so badly because there are lots of barbers out here that’ll put a sharp lining on you but the taper won’t look that good; especially with some of the prices they charge for a haircut 🤦🏾♂️
😬😬
Klean as hell bro 💪🏿😎
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Keep it pimping Rasta cya soon Ras Rome keep it going looking good y'all
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I work in a high end shop, charging top dollar for haircuts and we don’t see a whole lot of bald fades or tapers like these. Would love to see some more kind of grown up professional haircuts. People working high paying jobs in tech or finance, law firms or in medicine just can’t really be rocking with the majority or the haircuts I see on UA-cam.
I have a ton of longer scissor cuts and tapers. I hardly do bald fades anymore either 👍🏻
What's a grown up professional haircut?
@@paulh6101 Bread and butter!$$ lol
I was just thinking about this start high then work down
Exactly! 👌🏻
Looks damn good bro
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
No quema cuh!
🔥🔥🔥
Great vid man
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Seancutshair U should also let me try some style crafts 😏
Gamma boosted ❤❤❤❤❤ top top top ❤❤❤❤
The best!
Thanks for showing us all your techniques I really appreciate them those low tapers are the hardest but you killed it🔥
Also what’s your go to shaver ?
Appreciate you! I use the Babyliss fx02 and the gamma+ or tpob single foil for smaller areas
@@Seancutshair thank you 🙏
Yo I got braids could you do a video doing a taper with braids maybe ? Thanks bro that taper was perfect I been asking for a taper like this my whole life
I just posted a taper with braids a week or two ago 👌🏻
Clutch thanks again bro
Good video fam 💯 I just got my rebels and saber trimmers after speaking on the last video , I have 2 questions . Do you use the stretch bracket and also do clipper guards make a difference ? I feel like the stylecraft ones are different but it could be just me coming from wahl guards
Yeah I haven’t used the gamma guards. They should be close but definitely could have a slight difference. I use Wahl guards on mine
Hi Sean, I have a question that I hope you could shed some light on.
If I am trying a technique, say a fade that’s less compacted and more stretched out….
Using predominantly 1.5 guard above/after the bald guideline… what are the guards+lever settings you’d recommend?
(The reason being, is that after the bald or no guard.. the 1 guard is so hard to see when cutting my own hair… I do like the 1.5 as it’s more noticeable and easier to manage/use when doing self cuts)
Thank you
I wouldn’t know what to tell you. I do the same steps every single time
Where did you get the color guards?
MartyBlendz.com
Thanks🤣
when its a taper you keep the bulk basically? and a taper fade is the same but debulking all around ?
Clean
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Sean, Appreciate your videos!! What brand guards are you using and where can we buy them?
MartyBlendz.com
How are you liking the MB guards? Been thinking about getting me the skittles edition for the color coded benefit.
All I use!
What barber chair do you use? Looks like you can easily walk around the front of the client. At my school we use salon chairs and you can’t even get to the peoples face without leaning over and almost falling in their lap
They’re KO barber chairs from buyrite beauty
Yes the chair definitely plays a good part for the line up. The bulky chairs don't help at all
Whats the best guards to use on the tpob play clippers?
Your model looks like the dude from the Modern Man YT channel
I’ll have to go look lol
Where you get all your color gaurds from ?
MartyBlendz.com
Did you guys learn something?! Let me know down below ⬇️
I was upset at 9:39 and then whabaam 10:10 comes 👌🏻💀 🖤
I hope barbers see this all over the country cause taking tapers too high is common. You explain this to them and they seem to understand and boom when they give you mirror, everytime it’s too high smh never fails. I only have one barber who understands what you are showing. Cut my hair for over 20 years but I moved 😟😫😩 I keep switching searching for the right barber and who understands..I want a low taper!!!!
GEMS 💎💎
You know it 👊🏼
I feel like when I detail I just patch it instead of making the blend run smooth around the head
That’s what you have to get a feel for just takes repetition
The compressed low taper on the sides 🔥btw the slim line is zero gapped?
Thanks! No slim line is straight out the box not sharp at all
Where you get your guards from?
another banger , links for guards ?
MartyBlendz.com
The issue I always run into is I don’t know how high to go after changing the guard and when you detail do you detail dark spots around the head or do you have to detail by pushing the blend up
You’ll gain an eye for it. Just have to visualize where you want everything. Start at the top and work down
I think that most barbers don't realize that a taper fade really is just that - a taper, mixed with a fade. The bottom is a fade and all of the bulk is a taper. I do something similar where I'll set in my initial (lowest) level and then my largest level - fade the bottom a little, use whatever guard is the "middle level" between the two points and taper from middle to top and then bottom (or, top of the fade) to middle.
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Where did you get your guards ? And which do you think are better clip-on or magnetic?
MartyBlendz.com I like clip on, magnetic clings to everything. Just a hassle
@@Seancutshair appreciate it fam
Can you help, what what's the best clippers that come with a taper blade on?
Shoot not many come with taper blades anymore I’d probably build a custom fx and choose the taper blade
@Seancutshair thank you I'll do just that, your videos have been a great help, thanks for taking the time to respond. 🇬🇧
🔥🔥🔥 What clipper guards do you use?
MartyBlendz premium translucent guards
Where can i buy those colored guards?
MartyBlendz.com
How can I order these clips
MartyBlendz.com
On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is it to master this technique?
Maybe a 6 or 7. It does take some finesse to not just dig in and make harsh lines.
Hair product that was used after the trim?
Tomb45 indestructible clay
What type of haircut is this called. Blowout or?
I guess you could call it that. It’s just really his natural grown out length to the length he likes with a low taper
Does putting a stretch bracket on pretty much allow the clipper to open as much as the jrl’s do?
I don’t know specifically how much but it opens a good amount further
Are these marty blendz combs
Yes the rainbow set
Do you prefer the instinct or the gamma boosted? I want to get a new clipper but don’t know what to pick between those 2
I still like the boosted better just because of the shape. The instinct is a beast too though just smaller and different in the hand
Hey Sean where can I find those premium colored guards?
Martyblendz.com
@@Seancutshair thanks for getting back to me i appreciate it
Where can I buy those upgrades for the andis slimline??
Upgrades?

what clipper guards are you using?

Thank you
The neck part is gross lol why is it so uneven
Nvm it came out alright
Yeah his nape growth pattern is insane
Nice cut but he could do that himself. Super low taper. Not very hard at all.
Yeah ok lol
Ew
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How come you didn’t use the .5 guard halfway open on the line between the no guard level open and the 1 open?
