63 year old, bald, white guy here. Not sure why, but I was mesmerized by this video. What a beautiful job you did. You are indeed gifted by God with talent. Peace be upon you and yours.
I'm not a guy, and I don't have this texture hair. But cleanliness aside -- there is something so therapeutic about having your hair washed by someone. I don't understand why a barber shop wouldn't have a sink. For generations men have been going to the barber shop for a shave because it feels good to have another human being help care for you. Even primates have figured this out!
@@elo0o207I think it looks lovely on his head, idk why you think it makes his head look big. Any higher on the fade and I think he’d come out looking like a q tip. It frames his face very well.
A couple of days ago, I had to cut my dreadlocks for the same condition. I was not prepared psychologically and I was truly devastated. I thought I lost my identity with my hair, but it's just beneficial at the end of the day. Health over look and an healthy self-appreciation is always key to life. My hairdresser promised me to treat my hair so I will have my dreadlocks back and thanks to God, I feel satisfied with my new hairstyle even though it took me days before accepting my short hair.
I am sorry you went through that. I have to say this gentleman looks so much more distinguished with his shorter look. Remember it is you that makes the hair never the other way around. Rock it with pride regardless of what it is.
Nah, bruh. You made the right decision. Just use Busta Rhymes as your information. He looks away better without them and you probably do too. I'm my opinion, having dreads is the WORST hairstyle anybody on planet earth can have. Skin condition or not 💯
Yes I agree I ended up with excema on my scalp and couldn’t get the cream on the scalp right to get it to heal so got all my hair cut off ( and I am a woman ) after a few months of scalp treatment I got that cleared up and then my hair grew in again and never had that problem again, My hair is good now thick and styled simple. This is one good looking young man. With this new style. This man has scars on his face so I am wondering it he doesn’t have a bit of excema to his face and scalp. Hope he is able to get a handle on it.
You are right ! From time to time, my husband has itching and scabs. He then has a lotion to apply every evening until it all disappears. Then he is quiet for a month or more. We noticed that when he cuts his hair very short regularly, he has this type of problem less often. It's the best solution ! 😊😊😊😊
If he retwisted on a semi regular basis the hair would be parted so that he could properly treat his scalp condition. Cutting it short isn’t necessary.
@@theeALister I was wondering with this black young man if he had gone to a place where the dermatologist was a black person or a barber who was black and had experiences like this if he could have had another alternate. I am white and had a daughter with very very tight curls and my hair is poker straight I took her to a bigger centre than where we lived and looked for a black hair stylist to help me give this child the healthiest hair and scalp that I could . How to comb it out properly ect. Get products to help out. She was about two years old and that poor child had me and I had no clue. It was the best money I had ever spent. You have to go to an expert on the different kinds of hair and I felt the best lessons I got for this child was a lady that had some ideas for me. Now this baby is 34 years old and her hair dresser is a black lady. She says mom some white hair dressers have no clue how to cut or style my hair and I totally agree . No one in my family had hair like her so there was no help from anyone and no black folks living in our small community. I needed help
If the white flakes are dead skin, i totally get his decision. If one has such a dry skalp, it is so hard caring for it and i imagine that having the hair not moving when bound in dreads can prevent dead skin from geting out and start itching. Good for him to get a change, a skalp treatment and a bit of relief for his skin👍
new to the channel, new subscriber, and as someone who has scalp psoriasis (and a father with full body plaque psoriasis), I can FEEL the breeze and looseness of getting rid of the hair. i did a MAJOR undercut a couple summers ago when I was having a major flare up and it almost made me cry that's how good it felt
Sir...I'm begging you...PLEASE DON'T GET THE LOCS ANYMORE! They were hiding you. GREAT JOB BARBER! You have a great steady hand any you didn't go overboard with the enhancements. Good work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Right! Save them for WHAT? Hygiene/Grooming does NOT have to be a financial burden, but it does need to be a priority, something I think a lot of brothers disregard.
Yeah but sometimes the locs are for religious reasons. If he's Rastafarian than his dreads are a part of his religion which is probably why he's keeping them. Guaranteed once his scalp is under control he's going to reattach those dreads
I had a bad scalp condition growing up. It cleared up for a few years, but then it came back. I started using Jamaican Black Castor oil products by Tropic Isle Living. Their shampoo, conditioner, oil, and hair food helped clear up my scalp issue and keep it clear. I also occasionally use the jbco oil to perform a hot oil treatment. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but I always like to share it because it really helped me. My scalp no longer has flare ups.

Psoriasis is horrible and it is an Autoimmune disorder. My grandmother use to say all good health begins in the gut, if the gut bacteria is bad it comes out in the biggest organ in your body...the skin! Feed the gut microbiome with fermented food, ditch wheat and sugar and take cold pressed castor oil at least once a week. Use products free from SLS, fragrance and colourants for daily to regular washing to minimise scalp irritations. Put castor oil on the scalp before washing preferably overnight and add a little to the scalp every day.
@@MzApril1980Castor oil contains the biochemical agent undecylenic acid, which is used to stop fungal growth. The undecylenic acid makes the natural remedy ideal for numerous types of fungal infections i
Except of course for the people with conditions such as mast cell diseases and histamine intolerance that do not allow for fermented or aged, oftentimes not even leftovers.
@@LizzieWhiz Using Castor Oil is literally what started my Psoriasis. I'm so mad I ever listened to that guy on UA-cam, never had a problem before using that crap.
How he managed not to scratch himself raw is amazing. I have numerous allergies, some in regards to shampoos. I've had my scalp flake badly and it itches like crazy.
@p.s.shnabel3409 when mine first started I would literally wake up with my head pounding from itching. Didn't matter how tired I was, I couldn't sleep after it. Its the cause of most of my mental health problems. Thankfully it doesn't get that bad anymore but it's still annoying to deal with. Nizoral legit might have saved my life when it first started. 😥
@@LePuffyRamonCombsThe1st I found out that (probably) the root cause was chlorine in the water. Officially, no chlorine was added to the local tap water. But I kept on asking, until I finally got a couple to spill the beans. Yes, they would add chlorine as needed (e.g. after really bad storms). They just thought it was in such minuscule amounts, nobody would notice. Further cementing that as fact is that my rashes (mostly) went away when we moved into a place getting water from our own well. So, please make sure you get to the root of the problem and find out what sets your skin off. It might be your hair care products, it might be your favorite beanie, it might be something you eat or drink. Or it could be the water itself. Everything you use on a regular basis could be the culprit. As a first step, from my own experience I would suggest you buy scent free products. Including laundry detergent. If you can, see a good dermatologist (most I met were quacks, so there is that). If you don't have the money or time, try to find out by eliminating things. Do so one thing at a time, and give it at least several weeks before you go on to the next. Start with things you suspect, first (you probably have noticed a pattern?). And sometimes it can be a combination of elements, so you might see slight improvement if you eliminate X, but still suffer from most of the symptoms. Then keep digging. I hope you will get better soon. Please, don't give up hope.
5:11 I’m a white dude who used to be a barber and I had a customer who was black and my co worker who was black told me never use a comb always use a brush… you don’t brush down you brush up it groups the hair standing making the fade cleaner. A comb separates the hairs resulting in that wavy fade. That’s what I was told and shown, I did it and it came out clean AF.
Oh WOW! The first thing I noticed as you began, this fellow has such a nice head shape! You really have the BEST process/steps/way you "do" the cut. I am learning! His skin flaking ended up not being a major problem for you I noticed. You sure have the "fade" down pat! It's a process but you have all you need to "get there." I am glad you discussed the importance of washing the head as part of it all. As a woman, I would never get my hair done without a wash. Many older women get their hair done once a week, and it is the only time they do have their hair washed, and styled. I am happy to take care of my own hair :). Your cut was spot on, your technique marvelous, I can't imagine anyone in your care not LOVING the results! I watch all you post :). Another LUCKY MAN who got to have you do his hair transformation!
I am totally with you on your thoughts! When we women go to the salon the first thing they usually do is wash and condition our hair…. It gives the hair dresser a fresh start. My husband had a terrible issue with this seborrhea and flaky skin on his scalp and eyebrows. I use tea tree oil / medicated shampoo and it helps. As does a hot oil treatment once a month.
Very nice! I love when stylist/barbers educate the customer on what looks good on them instead of just doing the style knowing it won’t look right (I.e. high fade vs. low fade on his head size and shape) and taking their money. ❤
Ken, you are that dude! I love your approach to your craft! I’ve been a fan since you were doing cuts in your basement. Your evolution is inspiring! You are a fantastic ambassador for your craft! FACTS… I’m an older cat with a career, but also an aspiring barber. You help to keep the fire burning. Thank you sir.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us.

Nice cut!! I recommend Nizoral shampoo- it will clear up scalp issues (scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.) very fast; it's a blessing in a bottle!
I used Nizoral religiously for several months and it never got rid of my scalp psoriasis. It have temporary itch relief but that was it. Unfortunately, scalp psoriasis has no one size fits all fix.
It is very good for an itchy scalp. Also a flaky scalp often effects the skin on the face and neck and once it clears up the scalp there is usually an improvement with the skin.
Nizoral ketoconazole shampoo worked for my dry scalp. It can be drying because it’s medicated but if you follow with a moisturizing shampoo and a good conditioner after, it should be great!
From what I've seen so far, locs are one of these hairstyles that are perceived low maintenance but actually require a lot of care if you don't want to end up with scalp issues
I have locs and seborrheic dermatitis. He can keep his locs, he just has to be diligent about treating his scalp. T-Sal and sulfur 8 shampoos work wonders for me. I let it sit and then follow up with a tea tree oil conditioner. Also the key to helping skin conditions is diet/ gut health. Taking a probiotic daily may help him
WOW! That was a spectacular transformation! You got skills! Too many times I see someone come in telling you they want one thing and then being all bent out of shape when you gave them what they asked for, but it isn't what they actually wanted or expected. You did a great job!
Pretty much du-rags serve 2 purposes: 1) make the man look more menacing given the reputation of men who do wear du-rags (stereotypically speaking) 2) hide an imperfect hair Men that say they wear it for fashion or that they just like wearing them are lying to themselves. A man with great hair will always want to style it out and show it off.
dreads and locs are cultural and if you don’t know the history of someone’s culture keep your OPINION to yourself because you don’t want anyone to say something about yours.
@@jozellhobbs8284 okay Mr. Sensitive... 1) where is the insult in what anyone said here?? 2) What culture do you speak of when skimming through the comments made here [because it's obvious you didn't read through it carefully] 3) where is there a mention of dreads and locks around this area in particular?? We're talking about du-rags, not dreads and locks.
@@jozellhobbs8284 I owe you an apology. Upon looking into the video further, there was no recollection or any showcasing of any du-rags, so I'll take the time to say I'm sorry. I was under the impression that this was 1 of the videos where a client came in with a du-rag since I do come back to videos I've already seen from time to time to see other comments, and most of the times I comment before rewatching because there's a couple of haircut videos where the4thken cut someone's hair and they came in with a du-rag. This one is clearly NOT 1 of those videos. I made the mistake that I accused you of, and for that, I apologize. Also for calling you Mr. Sensitive. My sincerest apologies. Lesson here for me is watch the videos again before pulling off something as stupid as my reactive comment. I'm more guilty of that than you are. Mala mia. Edit: wow now that I looked back at it, I see where you're coming from now. @carolynwalls6787 it does seem that you're calling the guy's locks in the video "rags". Just to add to this guy here, this is very common among the Caribbean crowd (think Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, etc.) and African Americans as well. It is a popular hairstyle. It's what most would call the "Bob Marley" style because...well...Bob Marley made it really cool to have that kind of hairstyle (for those who had the hair to fit the style), though he's just 1 of many that made it look cool. There were many before him, but there was a time where most folks wanted to look like Bob Marley... HOWEVER, to your defense, I can see where you're coming from, and I'm HOPING that's the angle you were shooting for because, to be honest, the look did not suit the guy in the video AT ALL, but going back to @jozellhobbs8284 , yeah this could come off as insensitive.
I’ve never watched a man’s haircut/style session before. This was fascinating, thank you, and a real work of art!🎉. Mr Client looks even more handsome with his new look.
My ex has a problem like this and we were able to care for it through his locs. I’d scrape his scalp and use a brush to get the flakes out (there was no other way). Then his scalp was free for a medicated shampoo and oil for a refresh or retwist. We used the As I Am dandruff (blue label) shampoo and oil. It helped with breakouts in between. He even used it in his beard and around his ears. Looking at his redness his skin is about to go crazy. I recommend the line
I have psorasis. It’s painful at times. It’s so annoying and my scalp is bad. I wonder if he has that. All I do is scratch. Yes I go to dermatologist. In my ears to. Great idea to cut his hair. Soooo much better. Good job!!
Very nice job. He must feel so good after that. I don't know if you mentioned it, but he has more than dry scalp. He has a bit of mild psoriasis. There are products he can use that will help him manage it and keep it from getting worse.
I’ll say it again: you are so talented. There is something about your application of that talent, too, though….you aren’t rushed or gruff with your clients. I don’t think it’s a projection to say that I see some kindness in the way you treat your clients. Between that and the way you speak, these videos have such a calming vibe.
Damn good transformation. He’s definitely gonna have a much healthier scalp and then if he wants to do dreads again he will have a good canvas to work on. Plus if he maybe has the dreads done a bit different then his scalp can continue to remain healthy if possible. Looks amazing.
Now who would have thought that this would be interesting for me. Just was curious to see what you were about. Totally transfixed with your work. That guy left your shop looking like a million bucks. You have a new subscriber.😊
Nice job!! I’m a barber! I learned from my dad he was a master barber and most people don’t know how to do clippers over comb. I don’t use guards at all. My dad made me learn the old fashioned way. Haha I’m glad though. We do lots military haircuts.
Wow! He looks amazing. You did an excellent job! Thanks for showing your technique and how you help them decide what would look better on them, most don't do that.
You are such an awesome guy! Your technical skills, informative content, and voice are absolutely fantastic. This is my first time viewing your channel, but it won't be my last. Kudos for the total package. Many blessings, and thanks for sharing your incredible talent. To the client, your transformation is great. Hopefully, you can get some relief from your condition . Namaste
Awesome transformation. He should keep his hair short with his scalp condition. A good dermatologist should be able to figure out what's going on and prescribe something to treat it.
I use a medicated antifungal shampoo and conditioner for this issue and im a girl with long microlocs. His scalp is so inflamed😭. Cut is nice but whew!
I love the transformation. I guess looking at these are an obsession of mine because I'm a hairstylist and barber myself. I could see the scalp irritation and I hope that he is still on a healthy hair and scalp journey. ❤❤
I have had my locs for 9 years and I experience dry flaky scalp . I've learned how to take care of the locs naturally with essential oils. It works for me ❤
I use apple cider vinegar to remove scale. Then I wash. You may have to use vinegar a couple of washes for it to dissolve dead skin. Maui Moisture Shampoo works the best for not irritating the scalp. Olive oil, Shea butter, Amla oil, or Argan oil help. I stopped drinking milk and almost gave up dairy completely. Castille soap is good for sensitive skin also. Great job.
Now that is completely different man. Looks fresh. You could tell he was really happy he did it to. I love me some dreads, but I think this was a nice change for him....
I suffer from painful sebhorreic dermatitis and it’s scaly, bloody spots that are super itchy! My flares are primarily in the winter; sun and saltwater at the beach help it during the summer. Putting red or UV light treatments on scalp during flare ups can help. An auto immune disease so is stays and needs special shampoos also. Not dry skin but cause by excess oil sebum production
Dermatologist. There are various issues going on w his scalp. What's the tool cleaning process? Blue stuff? Hell of a transformation! You have him looking like a new person! Very nice look ❤
Yes I ended up with a bad case of excema on my scalp and I cut my hair all off kinda of like this guy but not styled like this as he is a man and I am a woman. Could put the cream on as directed by a dermatologist and got it healed up and hair grew back and it was good to go.
@@tmiller9197 I think myself it could be eczema . I saw his forehead and he had marks like he might have some eczema He should have seen a doctor maybe a dermatologist before taking all his hair off. But I know I took all my hair off because I had a bad case of eczema one time to just get the cream on properly . The dermatologist didn’t tell me to cut it but I did, Eczema can get infected but hard to say when we don’t get to see his scalp directly.
Great job, barber! The smile at the end! I’m sure he already knows this but hygiene and the proper shampoo combined with skincare will turn things around for him. A routine will get this all under control.
Great work! Look at what was underneath all those braids! I love how precise this barber is. I didn’t realize how many clippers are used for a fade. Again, great job!
His scalp looks so pink and irritated. Thank God for people like you. Not only did you make him look great and helped him access his scalp in a way that he will be able to treat it.
You are absolutely right with washing and treating the scalp. I would think before styling. That way the barber knows what he/she is dealing with. It looks this customer has a skin condition that isn’t really fully seen until you get into it. My purpose in commenting is that all barbers aren’t clean. Customers leave looking good but got a little more than they expected catching a skin condition too. I’ve seen men that don’t see the backs of their necks and wha the skin looks like when the fade is done.
Oh wow! I was just saying that I would love to bring my grandsons to you, then I noticed "Philadelphia!!!". If you are in or near Philly, I would love to bring my boys to you. I like your style. You are a real professional! I've had too many bad experiences with getting my grandsons' hair cuts. I will definitely look you up. Thank you for being a professional and also caring barber. 🥰 PS: I did subscribe AND like. 😊

I always say this…
Whenever my gut health is bad my skin looks terrible and when I detox my skin goes back to being calm…
@@LizzieWhiz Using Castor Oil is literally what started my Psoriasis. I'm so mad I ever listened to that guy on UA-cam, never had a problem before using that crap.
He looked sharp!
His scalp looks so irritated. Poor guy; I hope this new haircut aids in his scalp healing. Great cut ❤
How he managed not to scratch himself raw is amazing.
I have numerous allergies, some in regards to shampoos. I've had my scalp flake badly and it itches like crazy.
Love watching you work…it is great!
Uh oh
@p.s.shnabel3409 when mine first started I would literally wake up with my head pounding from itching. Didn't matter how tired I was, I couldn't sleep after it. Its the cause of most of my mental health problems. Thankfully it doesn't get that bad anymore but it's still annoying to deal with. Nizoral legit might have saved my life when it first started. 😥
@@LePuffyRamonCombsThe1st I found out that (probably) the root cause was chlorine in the water.
Officially, no chlorine was added to the local tap water. But I kept on asking, until I finally got a couple to spill the beans. Yes, they would add chlorine as needed (e.g. after really bad storms). They just thought it was in such minuscule amounts, nobody would notice.
Further cementing that as fact is that my rashes (mostly) went away when we moved into a place getting water from our own well.
So, please make sure you get to the root of the problem and find out what sets your skin off. It might be your hair care products, it might be your favorite beanie, it might be something you eat or drink. Or it could be the water itself. Everything you use on a regular basis could be the culprit.
As a first step, from my own experience I would suggest you buy scent free products. Including laundry detergent.
If you can, see a good dermatologist (most I met were quacks, so there is that). If you don't have the money or time, try to find out by eliminating things. Do so one thing at a time, and give it at least several weeks before you go on to the next.
Start with things you suspect, first (you probably have noticed a pattern?). And sometimes it can be a combination of elements, so you might see slight improvement if you eliminate X, but still suffer from most of the symptoms. Then keep digging.
I hope you will get better soon. Please, don't give up hope.
5:11 I’m a white dude who used to be a barber and I had a customer who was black and my co worker who was black told me never use a comb always use a brush… you don’t brush down you brush up it groups the hair standing making the fade cleaner. A comb separates the hairs resulting in that wavy fade. That’s what I was told and shown, I did it and it came out clean AF.
Oh WOW! The first thing I noticed as you began, this fellow has such a nice head shape! You really have the BEST process/steps/way you "do" the cut. I am learning! His skin flaking ended up not being a major problem for you I noticed. You sure have the "fade" down pat! It's a process but you have all you need to "get there."
I am glad you discussed the importance of washing the head as part of it all. As a woman, I would never get my hair done without a wash. Many older women get their hair done once a week, and it is the only time they do have their hair washed, and styled. I am happy to take care of my own hair :).
Your cut was spot on, your technique marvelous, I can't imagine anyone in your care not LOVING the results! I watch all you post :). Another LUCKY MAN who got to have you do his hair transformation!
I am totally with you on your thoughts! When we women go to the salon the first thing they usually do is wash and condition our hair…. It gives the hair dresser a fresh start. My husband had a terrible issue with this seborrhea and flaky skin on his scalp and eyebrows. I use tea tree oil / medicated shampoo and it helps. As does a hot oil treatment once a month.
Thanks for the info on Tea tree oil medicated shampoo, and the hot oil treatment :)@@kimberlypatton205
Very nice! I love when stylist/barbers educate the customer on what looks good on them instead of just doing the style knowing it won’t look right (I.e. high fade vs. low fade on his head size and shape) and taking their money. ❤
Yeah. If a stylist you trust ever says, “You know, I think it’s time to update your style” or “Have you considered trimming your brows?”, listen.
Man, he went from "Let me hold something?" To "How much do you need?"😂
He suuuure did
😆😆😆
😂
😂😂😂😂😂....good one😂😂😂
There’s nothing wrong with having locs brother
I was about to close out of UA-cam but came across this video. It’s a masterpiece! Excellent job. He’s a whole new man!
I love watching these transformation videos. Hell, I haven't had hair in 17 years but can still appreciate this artform! Amazing work bro.
I like your casual but explanatory way you showed us how you transformed his look ...the why and how ...great job ...he looks great !!!!
Ken, you are that dude! I love your approach to your craft! I’ve been a fan since you were doing cuts in your basement. Your evolution is inspiring! You are a fantastic ambassador for your craft! FACTS… I’m an older cat with a career, but also an aspiring barber. You help to keep the fire burning. Thank you sir.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

Ex cosmetologist here and i gotta say lovely job!!! Beautiful transformation!!
Technique and professionalism is spot on!!!💯💪🙌
Blessings up!!!❤
Nice cut!! I recommend Nizoral shampoo- it will clear up scalp issues (scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.) very fast; it's a blessing in a bottle!
I used Nizoral religiously for several months and it never got rid of my scalp psoriasis. It have temporary itch relief but that was it. Unfortunately, scalp psoriasis has no one size fits all fix.
It worked for me, and everyone I recommended it to. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
I'm the same with Nizoral shampoo, it made my scalp worse. A steroid application sorted it out.
It is very good for an itchy scalp. Also a flaky scalp often effects the skin on the face and neck and once it clears up the scalp there is usually an improvement with the skin.
And Betamethasone gel helps too
Nizoral ketoconazole shampoo worked for my dry scalp. It can be drying because it’s medicated but if you follow with a moisturizing shampoo and a good conditioner after, it should be great!
It’s anti-fungal; it kills what causes the flakes & the itching.
From what I've seen so far, locs are one of these hairstyles that are perceived low maintenance but actually require a lot of care if you don't want to end up with scalp issues
I’m saying 😐
You have no idea what you're talking about
@@tiffany171720052005 Does my comment indicate I'm an expert?
Shes right Tif
@tiffany171720052005 nah she's right
I have locs and seborrheic dermatitis. He can keep his locs, he just has to be diligent about treating his scalp. T-Sal and sulfur 8 shampoos work wonders for me. I let it sit and then follow up with a tea tree oil conditioner. Also the key to helping skin conditions is diet/ gut health. Taking a probiotic daily may help him
Beautiful job! Kudos to the barber. You really know what you’re doing!
You hooked him UP !!!! That was Amazing.My ex husband suffers from a similar scalp condition.Blessings to you and your God Gifted hands
I cut my hair really short after dreads and the light feeling that first day is unreal man.
Wonderful! Happy client with a great new look- such skill you have... Thank you!
You are an artist. Never thought watching haircuts and beard trims would be relaxing.
WOW! That was a spectacular transformation! You got skills! Too many times I see someone come in telling you they want one thing and then being all bent out of shape when you gave them what they asked for, but it isn't what they actually wanted or expected. You did a great job!
You're an artist! I know he has to feel good on the inside and outside after this. Great work!!!
I never knew those rags had a purpose. I just thought they were some kind of fashion. Always learning new things.
Pretty much du-rags serve 2 purposes:
1) make the man look more menacing given the reputation of men who do wear du-rags (stereotypically speaking)
2) hide an imperfect hair
Men that say they wear it for fashion or that they just like wearing them are lying to themselves. A man with great hair will always want to style it out and show it off.
dreads and locs are cultural and if you don’t know the history of someone’s culture keep your OPINION to yourself because you don’t want anyone to say something about yours.
his hair or style of hair isn’t considered rags. some might say that if you can catch lice then you’re dirty but keep your insults to yourself
@@jozellhobbs8284 okay Mr. Sensitive...
1) where is the insult in what anyone said here??
2) What culture do you speak of when skimming through the comments made here [because it's obvious you didn't read through it carefully]
3) where is there a mention of dreads and locks around this area in particular?? We're talking about du-rags, not dreads and locks.
@@jozellhobbs8284 I owe you an apology. Upon looking into the video further, there was no recollection or any showcasing of any du-rags, so I'll take the time to say I'm sorry.
I was under the impression that this was 1 of the videos where a client came in with a du-rag since I do come back to videos I've already seen from time to time to see other comments, and most of the times I comment before rewatching because there's a couple of haircut videos where the4thken cut someone's hair and they came in with a du-rag. This one is clearly NOT 1 of those videos.
I made the mistake that I accused you of, and for that, I apologize. Also for calling you Mr. Sensitive. My sincerest apologies. Lesson here for me is watch the videos again before pulling off something as stupid as my reactive comment. I'm more guilty of that than you are. Mala mia.
Edit: wow now that I looked back at it, I see where you're coming from now.
@carolynwalls6787 it does seem that you're calling the guy's locks in the video "rags". Just to add to this guy here, this is very common among the Caribbean crowd (think Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, etc.) and African Americans as well. It is a popular hairstyle. It's what most would call the "Bob Marley" style because...well...Bob Marley made it really cool to have that kind of hairstyle (for those who had the hair to fit the style), though he's just 1 of many that made it look cool. There were many before him, but there was a time where most folks wanted to look like Bob Marley...
HOWEVER, to your defense, I can see where you're coming from, and I'm HOPING that's the angle you were shooting for because, to be honest, the look did not suit the guy in the video AT ALL, but going back to @jozellhobbs8284 , yeah this could come off as insensitive.
OMG!! I LOVE the new look! As a woman I think the dreads were hiding a very handsome face. The barber is next level good.. well done!
I’ve never watched a man’s haircut/style session before. This was fascinating, thank you, and a real work of art!🎉. Mr Client looks even more handsome with his new look.
This was my first time too
My ex has a problem like this and we were able to care for it through his locs. I’d scrape his scalp and use a brush to get the flakes out (there was no other way). Then his scalp was free for a medicated shampoo and oil for a refresh or retwist. We used the As I Am dandruff (blue label) shampoo and oil. It helped with breakouts in between. He even used it in his beard and around his ears. Looking at his redness his skin is about to go crazy. I recommend the line
I agree great shampoo. Its like a more natural version of Head and Shoulders. I use it as my "winter" shampoo when the air is dryer.
Great job such a nice hair cut. He look like a new person. Your hands are gifted. May God bless you. God bless you
I have psorasis. It’s painful at times. It’s so annoying and my scalp is bad. I wonder if he has that. All I do is scratch. Yes I go to dermatologist. In my ears to. Great idea to cut his hair. Soooo much better. Good job!!
Love that you washed his hair! I subscribed ❤
Very nice job. He must feel so good after that. I don't know if you mentioned it, but he has more than dry scalp. He has a bit of mild psoriasis. There are products he can use that will help him manage it and keep it from getting worse.
Hair care is so pivotal. Happy to see that you highlighted that. Great job!
There was something very ASMR about watching this video. Also the guy looked fantastic at the end. Great job!
Clipper artistry! The haircut, plus the music, put me in a super relaxed place. Thank you!
What an amazing transformation! You could see his confidence level go way up! Great job!
I’ll say it again: you are so talented. There is something about your application of that talent, too, though….you aren’t rushed or gruff with your clients. I don’t think it’s a projection to say that I see some kindness in the way you treat your clients. Between that and the way you speak, these videos have such a calming vibe.
That wash must have felt so good! 🥹
Damn good transformation. He’s definitely gonna have a much healthier scalp and then if he wants to do dreads again he will have a good canvas to work on. Plus if he maybe has the dreads done a bit different then his scalp can continue to remain healthy if possible. Looks amazing.
Now who would have thought that this would be interesting for me. Just was curious to see what you were about. Totally transfixed with your work. That guy left your shop looking like a million bucks. You have a new subscriber.😊
Your clients are so lucky to have you. You make me want to be a barber.
In Jamaica, we'd call him a brand new second hand. Very Nice. Looked refined and refreshed.
As someone with psorasis flaring right now all over my scalp, i appreciate how great you were with him. Ive had so many bad haircut experiences
Nice job!! I’m a barber! I learned from my dad he was a master barber and most people don’t know how to do clippers over comb. I don’t use guards at all. My dad made me learn the old fashioned way. Haha I’m glad though. We do lots military haircuts.
Wow! He looks amazing. You did an excellent job! Thanks for showing your technique and how you help them decide what would look better on them, most don't do that.
blend is smooth like butter🧈, fire cut.🔥🔥
You are such an awesome guy! Your technical skills, informative content, and voice are absolutely fantastic. This is my first time viewing your channel, but it won't be my last. Kudos for the total package. Many blessings, and thanks for sharing your incredible talent. To the client, your transformation is great. Hopefully, you can get some relief from your condition . Namaste
That's just amazing! You did a great job! He looks great.
He has such a beautiful and full texture. Love this from start to finish
Awesome transformation. He should keep his hair short with his scalp condition. A good dermatologist should be able to figure out what's going on and prescribe something to treat it.
Good job.looks so much better
There was a handsome man under all that hair
Agreed, his scarf looked red and irritated as heck. He will be much happier once it’s treated.
It's usually diet
I have Psoriasis and that’s how my scalp looks when it flares. I take a Biologic drug to keep it under control.
What a transformation. Skills are on point.
I use a medicated antifungal shampoo and conditioner for this issue and im a girl with long microlocs. His scalp is so inflamed😭. Cut is nice but whew!
“I don’t really know, just do what looks best, you feel me type shit” is what I’ll say when someone asks if I want to keep my c cups
Wow, he looks so much better, good job.
I love the transformation. I guess looking at these are an obsession of mine because I'm a hairstylist and barber myself.
I could see the scalp irritation and I hope that he is still on a healthy hair and scalp journey. ❤❤
Wow great job, those braids were hiding that handsome man, total transformation 😊.
I have had my locs for 9 years and I experience dry flaky scalp . I've learned how to take care of the locs naturally with essential oils. It works for me ❤
Really fun to watch the process, nicely done, it looks great! Hope he enjoys it as much as we do!
You did a wonderful job on his hair transformation. I know he felt much better when you were done. Job well done.
Look how red his scalp got after the treatment! His scalp SO needed that!
I use apple cider vinegar to remove scale. Then I wash. You may have to use vinegar a couple of washes for it to dissolve dead skin. Maui Moisture Shampoo works the best for not irritating the scalp. Olive oil, Shea butter, Amla oil, or Argan oil help. I stopped drinking milk and almost gave up dairy completely. Castille soap is good for sensitive skin also. Great job.
Now that is completely different man. Looks fresh. You could tell he was really happy he did it to. I love me some dreads, but I think this was a nice change for him....
I suffer from painful sebhorreic dermatitis and it’s scaly, bloody spots that are super itchy! My flares are primarily in the winter; sun and saltwater at the beach help it during the summer. Putting red or UV light treatments on scalp during flare ups can help. An auto immune disease so is stays and needs special shampoos also. Not dry skin but cause by excess oil sebum production
Dermatologist. There are various issues going on w his scalp. What's the tool cleaning process? Blue stuff? Hell of a transformation! You have him looking like a new person! Very nice look ❤
Yes I ended up with a bad case of excema on my scalp and I cut my hair all off kinda of like this guy but not styled like this as he is a man and I am a woman. Could put the cream on as directed by a dermatologist and got it healed up and hair grew back and it was good to go.
Is the red part of his scalp a fungal infection?
@@tmiller9197 I think myself it could be eczema . I saw his forehead and he had marks like he might have some eczema He should have seen a doctor maybe a dermatologist before taking all his hair off. But I know I took all my hair off because I had a bad case of eczema one time to just get the cream on properly . The dermatologist didn’t tell me to cut it but I did,
Eczema can get infected but hard to say when we don’t get to see his scalp directly.
Your skillz are outstanding!!! The transformations of your cuts are magnificent!!! 💈💈💯👑
This cut is 🔥🔥🔥 Ken you always coming through with the banger videos
Wow man you did a super good job, a hell of a transformation!!!
Great job. Hopefully he keeps it. He looks good
Great job, barber! The smile at the end!
I’m sure he already knows this but hygiene and the proper shampoo combined with skincare will turn things around for him. A routine will get this all under control.
DAYUMNNN! 🔥🔥🔥👌🏼 I’m not gon lie this might be some of your best work!
Great work! Look at what was underneath all those braids! I love how precise this barber is. I didn’t realize how many clippers are used for a fade. Again, great job!
Wow that looks awesome. He looked so good and you can bet he felt so much more refreshed. I have a dry scalp and man, does it drive me crazy at times.
Perfect style, younger
And more attractive
Exceptional stylist kudos 👏
Perfect cut for his head shape looks like a new man also looks younger go straight to moms and show off your new look Happy New Year everyone ❤😊
His scalp looks so pink and irritated. Thank God for people like you. Not only did you make him look great and helped him access his scalp in a way that he will be able to treat it.
Such a clean cut. Congratulations
You are absolutely right with washing and treating the scalp. I would think before styling. That way the barber knows what he/she is dealing with. It looks this customer has a skin condition that isn’t really fully seen until you get into it. My purpose in commenting is that all barbers aren’t clean. Customers leave looking good but got a little more than they expected catching a skin condition too. I’ve seen men that don’t see the backs of their necks and wha the skin looks like when the fade is done.
Killed it. Master at work 🔥
Polo!
Absolutely beautiful haircut! ❤
Oh wow! I was just saying that I would love to bring my grandsons to you, then I noticed "Philadelphia!!!". If you are in or near Philly, I would love to bring my boys to you. I like your style. You are a real professional! I've had too many bad experiences with getting my grandsons' hair cuts. I will definitely look you up. Thank you for being a professional and also caring barber. 🥰 PS: I did subscribe AND like. 😊
Perfection. This was so satisfying to watch.
Poor dude needs some medical skin treatment...those bumps on back of neck can't feel great
Massage with coconut oil and aloes keeps the scalp moist and hydrated. Also takes care of the inflammation
This is just GREAT, he looks like a different and handsome Man✔️✔️✔️
A wonderful job! He looks great…made me chuckle how he was
Holding his locks at the end, like a bunch of flowers 💐 😅
🙏🏾 may he never put dreads on his head again.
I concor
Why?!!!
@timekabolden5309, the dreds were doing his scalp no justice due to his condition. That's the worst hairdo to have in this situation
How often did he wash his hair?
@@sweettweet3296not often enough. It's not just washing, it's medicating
You give so much knowledge while you work. 😊
