I've been cutting my own hair for a few years now with mixed results, watching tutorials and trying to improve from time to time. But this is the first video that really clicked it for me and the results has gotten much better since. This technique is really easy and foolproof. Thanks for a brilliant tutorial, you've made a lot of people happier!
I just use a number 12 guard i got from amazon works fine, number 12 leaves enough hair to comb hair back compared to a number 10 which leaves my hair spikey 😂😂😂
@@thatguy3213can I ask what mm is your 12 guard you normally use?
@@JR-vr6ri yes, the 12 guard is 38 mm I first bought the number 10 guard to test which is 32 mm but it left my hair spikey after I took a shower since hair was still short, but with the 12 guard it left just enough length where I could comb it back without it sticking up 😂👍
Dude, I've been cutting my own hair during lockdown with increasingly distasterous results AND whilst following UA-cam tutorials! I've just used your method to blend the top with the sides and some sort of magic happened and it now looks like a half decent haircut 5 mins later.
Genius dude! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'll venture out tomorrow without wearing my cap😂
That's brilliant Melkor. I love a success story 😁😁😁🙌
I graduated from honest to God barber college & cut hair for several years and never knew about this! As soon as I finished watching your video, I used my old Oster clippers and attachment and gave myself a hair cut. this IS the easiest way to cut your own hair and foolproof (unless you are a HUGE fool and had way to much to drink!) Fantastic video!!
Absolutely what I was looking for! So many videos on UA-cam are overly complicated. I truly appreciate you showing us your methods. Thanks a million!! 👍🏻👍🏻
just got the wife to try out your method on me, I was beginning to look like something from a dodgy 70's movie, absolutely brilliant ! I cant thank you enough, I feel human again. top man.
Well done Mike and especially well done to your wife 🙌🙌🙌
Dude, you are by far the best guy on here for self-haircuts. I have saved so much money by following your videos and I can't believe how quick and easy it is. And I appreciate everything barbers do but I'll never go back
Have done this four times now and it works brilliantly. Thank you Michael!
Super helpful. I've gotten confident about cutting the sides and back, but couldn't figure out how to cut the top or upper sides without a lot of stress and time. Thanks for saving me time, money, and stress!
Glad I could help! Thank you
I've been cutting my hair for years now and it was only recently that I got a compliment when I followed your method. Thanks!
I’ve been cutting my own hair for over 30 years. Based on 10 cuts per year at $20 per cut, I estimate that I have saved well over $6k ! Guys.....you can cut your own hair.
It's like £9 in Scotland 😂
Been cutting my own hair since COVID lockdown but was never pleased with my blending techniques on the sides and trying to use scissor cuts on top. Tried the with the grain technique and will never go back. The top and sides are as even as they used to be with the pro barbers. Thank you sir!!!!
I've been cutting/trimming my hair for ages. Your tutorials are great. Will continue to watch them. You are a true professional.
Thank you Joe 😊
Wow. Works very well indeed. I've tried a few times to cut my own hair over the last year with limited success. Despite being a bit apprehensive about using the clipper this way, this method is by far the easiest with the best results. Got my wife to finish the back edges, and around the ears. Thank you very much - appreciated!

I've done this twice now since covid started and the second cut is even better than the first. Thank you for the no BS beginner friendly tips!
The real MVP for 2020/2021 lockdown! Thank you sir
just did this an hour ago and it worked much better for me than i had anticipated. thanks for this great tip!
The best self haircut videos on UA-cam. Thanks for your straight forward instructions and advice. You gave me the tools and courage I needed to cut my own hair without worrying too much that I would screw it up. I've successfully cut my own hair 3 times since April thanks to your videos. Stay well Michael.
Im so happy to hear my videos are of genuine use. Thanks Howard
As I am a seaman,sometimes I don't have chance to go to barbar, I learn from your video and cut my hair myself. Good for me.
Great tip. Tried this today and turned out perfect!
Such a help mate, brilliant!
I now realize I should've watched this video BEFORE ruining my boyfriends hair 🙈 Figured it can't be that hard with the machine but got VERY confused at the top 😅 Will try again after watching few of your videos, he's got a little hair left so maybe all is not lost after all 😄
Hope the video helps
I think ur the easiest to understand amongst all I’ve seen in the last 1 year
I bought myself a hair clipper set for Christmas and gave myself first haircut today using your clear, concise, informative and entertaining instructional video. I learned a lot and felt confident. My first haircut, I'd rate myself an 8.5/10...with practice it'll get better! Thanks mate couldn't have done it without you ✌️
PS. as a woman with a longer hairstyle, I used an 8 on top, 7 on the side, 6 on neck taper. Fantastic results with your "cut with the natural direction" method.
FINALLY another woman on here. Can I ask what kind of hair you have? Straight, wavy, curly...I wanna do this myself but with my hair it's hard to tell if it'll behave
You know what the hair your talking about. Great advice.
Haven’t been to the barbers since the first lockdown and this is the best tutorial video I’ve watch so far! Thanks mate
That's great to hear. I'm glad this has been a big help to you. It can be done. All I'd say is and I'm sure you know this anyway. Even if you are getting good at cutting your barber will produce the highest standards for you as they can cut without mirrors and generally have all the tools.
Thanks for this. I'm giving hubby a Covid Cut this weekend, and this is a great tutorial !! Also..you could recite the Privacy Agreement for Apple, and I'd still listen...lovely Scots brogue !
I did my sons hair this way looks great in these lockdown times thank you so much !
After looking at other methods, yours seemed to be the easiest and it gave me the results I wanted. Used a 12mm on top and came down the sides with a 9mm. Turned a mop head into a respectable look. Now just have to maintain it every 2 weeks and all done. Thanks for the great vid's from the back woods of Alabama USA
Thank you so much I'm glad you found them useful 😁
I got to watch this video once a month right before I cut my hair. Thank you enormously!
You're so welcome!
Brilliant tips!! I have been cutting my husband's hair and I'm fine doing the back but get a bit lost on the top and sides. I will do this next time. Thank you
This is so good! I was trying to cut my hair like a barber does with the fingers and it takes forever and never ends up uniform. This takes like 5 minutes and your hair is actually all uniform. Amazing! Thanks
Thanks sheppy I'm glad you found it useful please share to your friends or social media if you know others that might find it useful 😁
Been doing this for few years now thanks to this video. Thanks mate. You're a ⭐
Glad it helped thank you 🙏
oh this method is so simple and yet magical!!! thank you so much!!
Very much appreciated!
Thanks! The top is such a struggle for me. I'll definitely give this a shot 😀
Hey man, you literally saved my awful haircut thank you.
Glad I could help
You deserve wayyy more views super underrated thanks so much 🙌
Fantastic. You made my self haircut going forward a lot easier. Wish I seen this video earlier this morning.
Awesome.. Been looking for a DIY haircut video, this is the best one I've seen so far.
Hi bud just tried this after watching you do it and it worked out brilliantly. Mega thanks .
My hair was a Covid mess. Long and uneven as hell and bushy. Following your instruction I combed it down all over an then just whacked it with the 9mm on top and all around, just working downward. It looked great in 5 minutes after some work with the 6mm as you suggested. Very pleased, very easy and I'm confident to try it again. It looks a lot better than I'd dared to hope. Thank you.
Nice one Tom that's great to hear. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Great lesson! Thanks a million!
From Toronto, Canada. Excellent video. Have a new problem though...fighting the ladies off! Many thanks.
Superb! I've been cutting my own hair for about a decade, but this video has been a revelation! From a fellow Scot too!
Tapadh leat!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
I’ve learnt such a lot with this video, more than any other self cut on UA-cam. Firstly to keep the blades in the closed position as they cut better, the video is must watch based solely on this piece of advice. Next your blending technique using the different guards in different directions while respecting the skull shape. Thanks for this.
Thanks for sharing this! I'll try it out on my next cut
Thanks for this vid, it come in so handy knowing how to do it easily on my teens mop! It really does help 👍
Best self hair cutting videos on the net...really helped me out and made me feel million times better with a fresh cut. No more barbers for me not thatbwe can go anyway.amazing stuff thank-you
Thank you Lewis 😁
Just tried this and was a bit nervous but whoa brilliant tip and worked perfectly. Not as good as the barbers but looks good and easy to do.
Love the video. Used your method 4 times now and no longer go to get a haircut. First time was OK but got better the more I did it.
Thanks for doing us a solid out here in youtube land. Subbed.
Wow, you are a lifesaver, I've been cutting my own hair for decades and after all that time i never thought about going from the back to the front! I can't wait to try this 2morr. And you're absolutely right, if you cut the top from the front to the back, it'll just hack it all off. 🙏🏻👍🏻🙂
It's an unusual technique for sure but the results can be surprising. All the best of luck with your cut and share to anyone you feel would also benefit. 👍👍👍
Hi, i did this with my beard trimmer with 12mm guard i was afraid of doing with beard trimmer, but finally did this, it went great so far, thanks 😊
I've started doing 2 months ago self haircuts. Always wondered how to cut the top, and the sides, and blend the side fade. This is insane technique really! So easy , and simple , and it just works! The only thing I need to practice is behind. Even with mirrors I can't make it good. I mean I did, but I need time really, while side fades and top I do fast, especially after this tutorial! Thanks a lot man!
Well done Isaac 🙌
Wow, what a lovely guy-no nonsense video, so refreshing!!!!
Thank you Peter 😊
Just tried it out! THANKYOU SO MUCH!! Works Great 😊
Thanks man, your instructions worked well for me
Amazing simple technique!
Thanks man. Very helpful. I just used this method and did a great job
Thank you so much. This is what I needed.
I did mine before watching this and it turned out ok but will def do this next time!
My hair came out exactly how I wanted it to with your techniques . Thank you
That's excellent Marco, I'm so pleased it worked for you. and well done for attempting it 🙌
Great piece of tutorials. Thank you.
Super grateful for your videos. Been cutting my hair on and off for the last 8 years. Always has just devolved into a buzz cut I ultimately loathe. Using your methods I’ve finally got a self cut I’m actually satisfied with. Thanks, man. Keep it up!
That's great to hear Dustin. Thank you 😁
@@theoneminutebarber I wanted to ask a potentially dumb question...so I’m wanting the top of my hair to grow out more. Would it be best to just do the sides and top side blend and skip the top or continue doing as shown so it refrains from being too bulky? If that makes sense
Just leave the top Dustin. When it comes to hair there isn't really any rules as to what is correct. By all means keep the sides neat and let the top get some length. My most recent video was the first time I'd cut the top in three haircuts.
Easiest and most effective method I've ever seen..Thanks a lot.
Your welcome Amit
you saved my dads hair from a buzz cut thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you bro!!🙌💪
Great tip and a great job ... thank you
Wow fantastic easy way to trim your own hair. Thank you will go and try your tactics.👍👍
By far the best tutorial on UA-cam. Ive been cutting my hair for years but this video shows me where I was going wrong. I have the same hairstyle as you which made it so much easier. Thanks for the video
Glad I could help! Thank you
Thank you for showing this verry helpful to get that extra puffiness down 😉
Brilliant Mike, Sgoinneil. Greetings from Stirlingshire!c Thanks.
Very helpful...... I finally found an easy tutorial... Thanks a lot
Great guide but WATCH THE COWLICKS! I’ll preface this by saying this technique works insanely well for the top. I’ve cut my own hair for 10 plus years and at the age of 35 can confidently give myself a professional cut especially the sides and back with the help of a hand mirror and door 3 panel fold out mirror (these made cutting the sides so much easier.) the only problem I had was the top with scissors and time it took matching and using hair clips to hold to get a good result, and as would happen every now and again I’d do this late at night tired before bed and find myself botching a bit when not taking the time and needing to go shorter than I wanted.
I’ll try this method again but really wet the cowlicks. I’ve had worse but I wish you mentioned those and to be careful on them. Looks great but my cowlick on my bangs area got a nice buzz
That’s a bit of a problem for this method. It maybe just go forward until just before the cowlick. And then stop and cut that part with scissors.
thanks buddy. I keep getting terrible haircuts. just finished doing this and its all even and looking really decent. I will be doing this from now on
Nice haircut ❤️
Thanks for sharing
your tips👍
Good stuff, thank you!
After a year's worth of DIY haircuts based on a number of UA-cam videos, for myself and my boy we ended up with some really questionable results. But I have to say your video is the best one ever. So easy to do.
I shall be making a contribution to your page :)
Thank you from myself and my boy from Bradford, United Kingdom
Thank you so much Terabyte. I really appreciate your support and we'll do e for having a go at it yourself 🙌
Brilliant. I do my husband's hair. Great help.
ty for this. worked really well
Great methods! I tried your previous two video methods adapted with one length higher on my new Wahl and it worked a treat. I appreciate my Barber 100% more now though you guys are magicians
Thank you Pappa Kilo🧙♂️
Thanks for this. Literally what I'm looking for.
Fucking hair cut
I do like the way you cut your hair, that is great education. thank you. bravo
you're an absolute legend
Awesome and thanks for the good tips
Thank you for the help you provide in your videos! 😃
My pleasure! And thank you Eduardo for the support 🙌
killer video!!! thank you!!!!!
I tend to have my hair short at the back and sides but a bit longer and messy/textured on top. On the first lock down I ended up buzzing the top down using an 8 and shorter at the sides. It was ok but far too short for me. Followed your technique this afternoon and it worked brilliantly - still have enough on top to work with. Thanks man!
The way you describe your normal style is really the perfect style for these techniques
@@theoneminutebarber really appreciate your videos and getting back to people in the comments. That's something really special
Great tip going down a # for the edges of head. I did feel that the edges were a little too long after using this technique from your other video, but I was scared to try until now. Cheers mate
Your welcome I knew I had to remake the first cutting the top video and include the edge technique. And glad to hear that it is useful too.
Awesome video. Huge help for me and my boy. Thanks brother Merry Christmas
Great video!!!
Barbers make look so easy they're are true artist it's definitely a skill that will be in need for ever
Until AI takes over..
Great video, thanks!
I am just starting to cut my hair it was a good help
Seems doable. Going to try it. Thanks. New subscriber
Thanks for the video by the way mate it's great
I appreciate these tips. Gives me hope to improve my haircut. You da best 👏🏻😊
Thank you Glasgow 😁
