🔥 fire cut brother! I’m amazed at how well it turned out. Glad you ended up liking the product too. Thanks for supporting shehvoo! 🙏🏽 keep up the great work Alex!
BRO! THIS IS THE 1ST TIME I WILL CUT MY HAIR USING RECHARGEABLE TRIMMER AND I DEFINITELY LEARNED ABOUT HOW TO CUT MY HAIR USING YOUR STEP. I HOPE I DONT RUIN MY OWN HAIR IN A 1ST PLACE . GLADLY AND THANKFULLY FOR KNOWING ABOUT THIS THINGS.
I love your smile. Thanks for helping me cutting my own hair. You should create a tutorial video of all the minimal gear you need to self cut your hair.
I clutched up the sides but the back is a fookin mess, I don't know how you did it. Still feels and looks 100x better than it did and still have a fade. You're the man!
I'm a bit jaleous :) He hast healthy perfect hair and skin, beautiful eyes, nice athletic body, a smile with white teeth that shine brighter than the moon. I'm always melting watching his videos :D
Got an okay fade my first time. Nothing to write home about but honestly just as good as a walmart cut. Cutting the top while looking at a mirror is incredibly disorienting. I did alright but it is frustrating to say the least trying to judge depth and angle in a mirror. Thanks so much for the tutorials. Gonna keep trying!
@@AlexKouras I loved your previous video on haircut - but my clippers were missing some guards so i couldnt get a proper fade. But THANKS to this tutorial i can use my beard trimmer (which has all its guards 😛) for a neat fade cut. Really appreciate for making this one!
Bro finally someone with similar hair. I have a question. If you brush your hair a different direction will it not stay in place? Like does it stay frizzy and poofy a little without falling in a stylish hairstyle lol
Hey there! Great tutorial. Just wanted to point out that I am a girl, I know a lot of ladies that wear their hair this short, and I have forwarded this video to them. I have received a lot of compliments on my haircuts. Still working on the finer points of getting a great fade, but your videos gave me the confidence to try. Thanks from all the ladies who love this cut. Or otherwise known as a ‘do’! ❤️❤️💋❤️
Bro can you do this exact haircut tutorial step by step with just an actual Wahl clipper + guards (no siscor comb) I know that there are already a lot of out here on youtube, but I just find your way of explaining mad helpful and your cuts are nice AF 👍
You are really good at this. I trimmed my hair today using beard trimmer. But I messed up the back side. 🥺 All barbar shops are closed so have stay like this until the hair grows back 😭
my beard trimmer has every mm from 1 to 24 so instead of the flicking technique I could maybe use 1 or 2 mm to fade the first section and maybe use 4 or 5 mm for the second section. What do you think
Hi Alex, this was very helpful for those of us with just a beard trimmer. My Wahl trimmer actually has "stubble" attachments that go up in 1.5 mm increments - would those make it easier to take out some of the hard lines? Also, with access to these guards, would you recommend using 1.5 mm and 4.5 mm guides to make "in between" guidelines between the 0mm, 3mm, and 6mm guidelines?
@@adamgrbec2075 - I experimented a little and discovered that the #1 and #2 stubble attachments are actually a little shorter than the non-stubble attachments bearing the same numbers (and shorter than the cutting lengths indicated) which is actually not a bad thing when you're trying to fade and need tiny gradations. I do a .5 stubble, then a #1 stubble, then a regular #1 (which is longer than the #1 stubble), then a 1.5 stubble etc. and it helps makes the transitions a lot smoother. The other thing that helped was getting the "extreme precision" trimmer t blade from Wahl - I alternate between it and the regular T-blade to get even finer gradations in the shorter lengths where it really makes a difference (e.g. for bare blade, 0.5 stubble, and up to the 1.0 stubble guide).
I started cutting my own hair over 17 years ago, and I used a philips beard, and mustache trimmer. It didn’t work very well, and it took a long time to do. So a beard trimmer is not for haircuts. You need clipppers for that, but if you don’t have any clippers, a beard trimmer will do. The beard trimmer is not a clipper though, and a lot of people think a trimmer is the same as a clipper but it is not. The trimmer has smaller teeth on it than a clipper. The clippers have much broader body and the teeth are much larger. Trimmers were only ment for finishing and detailing not actual hair cuts. Hahahahaha!!!
Bruh you literally cut your hair 3 times within a month ..... i need this kind of motivation in my life right now... heading to cut my hair right now NO EXCUSES.. i will update y'all how it went.. pray for me.
Thank you so much Alex. I'm about to take the plunge into cutting my own hair. I have clippers but they don't have a lever. Any tips on what adjustments I'd need to do?
If you don't have a lever, you can most likely use the same blending techniques to knock out the hard lines. Otherwise choose the guard length you want for your hair! Thanks for watching! More great content coming soon 😃
late on finding your channel but great video. running out to buy thinning shears today. next ill try for real clippers. my oldest wants me to cut his hair again but id been winging it without doing much of a defined fade (his hair is long on top, guess it be called an undercut with fade?) anywho his barber weve used since he was 10mo old is one of the best in our area & books up fast! so this past year ive been doing cuts between appts to keep up while we wait. ive never done bad but would like to do a noticable fade. doing at home has helped save $50-$55 every cpl wks (for 2 boys) anywho i dont have IG so had my son send request to follow ya 🤘🙏 thank you ☺️
I start with no guard, then I gradually go to a #1, #2, and then finish with a #3. Of course, using my lever on my clippers to blend in the hard lines as I go. Then use my thinning shears to blend it all in.
Yo Alex bro, i’m stuck I have my first guide line and understand the steps up until the bit where you begin to freehand with the trimmer towards the end at 8:20, which size do you use to free hand?
You free hand the sections with their appropriate guards. Let me know on IG if you need more help! Thanks for watching! More great content coming soon! 😃
I think it’s the hardest way cutting your own hair but if you want to learn how to cut your own hair I definitely offer you to cut them with the help of beard trimmer because you will really have an idea about how you’re gonna lose guide lines perfectly. I started to cut my own hair 2 mounts ago with the help of beard but now I’m using hair trimmer because I leveled up 😜 thank you for giving idea 👍🏻
Alex thanks for this. I've been trying to cut my hair after watching your vids and it's harder than it looks. I'm getting better at the fade but tbh Im not under standing the thinning sheer step. I feel like my hair looks fine then once I go in with the comb and thinning sheer, I mess everything up. It's like it's all hacked at. Whereas your Hair looks all even on the sides and back. Any tips? Am I cutting too much off at a time? Does it matter what angle the comb is going up at? Thanks man!
Hey thanks for your support! Everything matters when it comes to thinning shear work. From the angles, to how many times you use it, using the mirrors, etc..

Presumably you can follow the same instructions but starting with a longer attachment as the base if I’m not brave enough for a skin fade?
Absolutely. Just start with whatever guard you want and use the same techniques to gradually go up your head. Thanks for watching! 😃
Alex Kouras thank you sir! 👍🏻
Sweet 👍 i’ll try this tomorrow 😬 wish me luck
Well... i tried it and wished I didn’t, i look like I’m wearing a bloody wig!

More than a hour.
Usually about 20-25 minutes without recording whatsoever. And around 1 hour if I include cutting the top.
