Nice to see your videos. There weren’t many videos demonstrating fading and tapering using detachable blades. Good job! I prefer using detachable blades. Overall smoother results. 1a and 0a are the secret to good smooth transitions. I use Oster Model 10 and Titan.
i just started barber school in texas and ive been using adjustable clippers my whole life but in school they just use detachable clippers in the kit they give me so im trying to watch and learn as much as possible... great tutorial 💯
This is a very clear , concise easy to follow tutorial on this haircut. Very helpful since theyre are few good videos on cutting with detachables only.( I just hate this style, to me it looks like they have alopecia no matter what the barbers skill level is, BUT this has to be the best taper HC Ive ever seen because youve made it look much more natural and proportioned and not alopecia-y)
I have this machine and I know there arent many of us with them so I think its real cool you doing videos like this. You explain very well and move at a learning speed for all your viewers so big ups!
Thanks! I just started barber college, and we can only use the blades for the first 500 hours! I've only used guard prior. I have to say the blades are growing on me. Now my goal is to master them before I move on...Thanks!
Speedwise, would you say it's easier to get faster cuts with the blades versus the guards? Considering experience level I think you can knock out nice fades with the detachable a faster than guards as a beginner... I'm about to graduate from cosmetology school and found the straightforward blade progression much faster than open guards first then blending the closed guards back in to it...(assuming that's the normal technique for Wahls and Andis). I've even shared your first detachable video with other students (95% females who are intimidated by our school issued 76's). We just don't get the 1A with our kit, so I let them use mine. Great vid! I'll be sharing this one too. Confidence inspiring, for real.
Yes indeed! You are so on point with what you said. I'm just starting barbering school myself, and from just watching a few of AD's detachable haircut videos this method just seems like a much more simpler approach for me at this beginning stage of my barber school journey. Lol
MᴀKᴇɴAʀᴛ ~ MJ 4EᴠR ღ I'm in barber school too, having a hard time fading with guards so I'm trying it out with detachables hopefully it's easier. Looks super simple!
I prefer blades over guards. I think that blades cut cleaner than guards. I also think that because blades are numbered they take away any possible guess work. Even someone who has never picked up a clipper could cut a style if you talk them through it with detachable's. I must admit I was intimidated by them at first but they are just so easy to use and actually a time saver.
I agree and when I first learned to cut my mentor used a detachable as well. Time is Money so incorporating a detachable + an adjustable (for clean up) is great
I agree with you 100% @ronald williams, I could talk my 2 year old through a detachable blade cut 😂 and they do cut cleaner and much quicker than guards 👌
Greetings, This was an amazing video, but it appeared that your 00000 seemed to cut lower on the right side of his head than on the left side. Was there a reason for this?
fresh cut AD. I prefer guards over blades just because of the fact that you can work that taper lever and they are much more user friendly (as far as sizing goes). also, price is a factor too. im not saying that it isn't good to invest in your craft, not at all, but 20-30 dollars for an individual blade plus the 150-200 roughly for the clipper tends get to be a bit pricey especially when you need 4-5 blades or more. I don't cut hair full time just on the side but I love the craft (so that could play a part in my outlook). so for fading I will say the guards, hands down, but I do see where the detachable blades are good too. knocking down bulk and things like that. I guess its all personal preference in the end and how comfortable the barber is with either one. stay blessed my man.
Hey buddy, I really love how you teach, I have a brooklyn taper blowout at the moment, I just dont know how to cut it with the detachable blades, and instead of the sideburns being bald making them pointy long sideburns, could you upload a tutorial with a taper blowout with pointy sideburns?
I'm still learning, but it seems that I getting a better grasp of fading with detachable blades. I understand the guards but it the lever play that I just can't get right now. I'm all in on detachable blades. You doing a real good job on your instructions with the blades and the voice over helps a lot to see and hear what your doing. I would like to ask when your cutting can you keep the blade size that your actually using on the screen until you switch cause sometimes I forget what blade your using or I might rewind it cause I'm studying what your doing or saying or I missed something or I started at a point where it past where you showed the blade size and i also have your video playing while I'm cutting that way it be easy to get back and follow along if I do start your video and I'm in the middle part of your instructions. Thanks bruh for your knowledge.
AdrinTheBarber How did you adjust your whal edgers. I had a pair tried to adjust them and I just couldn't get it right. Either they were too sharp or not hittin enough. I would appreciate any suggestions.
So if I did a 3 on top and they wanted a bald fade on sides would I just use the 3 2 1 and half 1a 1 0a 000.. just wondering. I'm just getting used to the bgrc.
These Clippers are less noisier than the,Turbo 111 @ the Oster Detachable Clippers! In which I don't use anymore... I have a Fade Blade on my Masters... Videos are always on point..
This was by far a great video looking it from the point of view of detachable blades. I understood better the bleeding technique, I think I will try that machine....the BGR, correct me if I said it wrong please.
Waddup AD! DO you think it is wise to purchase detachable clipper and blades if they will only be used on myself and kids at home? Seems like too much for such a small task, what do you think or do you suggest an alternative?
I have been told that cutting against the grain, even with waves results in a more even cut with not black spots. That being said what blade would have used to even out the top (cutting against the grain).
dope video AD! im working toward using only detachables..i feel like i work better with them. can you do a video about the pros n cons of detachables and adjustables?
i like that you actually show which blades you're using. I prefer the detachable blades. Just make it easier for me.
Nice to see your videos. There weren’t many videos demonstrating fading and tapering using detachable blades. Good job!

This helped me out a lot, thank you! The detachable blades make it look so much easier and gives it a cleaner look.
detachable blades are life, they make my job so much easier and fun.

Thanks for the wisdom man 🙏 just started school and we are using detachable blades.

Can you do the exact same thing with a fade or if Someone ask for a 1 fade? Just start with the 1 and work your was to the top?

Roseanne Ramirez did you find out yet ??
just found your page and ive learned a lot already. Thanks... how can I get a cape like the one in this video?
These Clippers are less noisier than the,Turbo 111 @ the Oster Detachable Clippers! In which I don't use anymore... I have a Fade Blade on my Masters... Videos are always on point..
Nice..how did you get your edgers like that? I want mine to look like that and be really sharp plz help!
This was by far a great video looking it from the point of view of detachable blades. I understood better the bleeding technique, I think I will try that machine....the BGR, correct me if I said it wrong please.
Nice cut AD. Did you use any color enhancement on this cut, if so what did you use and color? Thanks for the great video.
Waddup AD! DO you think it is wise to purchase detachable clipper and blades if they will only be used on myself and kids at home? Seems like too much for such a small task, what do you think or do you suggest an alternative?
super video....nice work.....it helped a lot....
I have been told that cutting against the grain, even with waves results in a more even cut with not black spots. That being said what blade would have used to even out the top (cutting against the grain).
If you're going against the grain a size 2 blade would be a good size for waves. It's like a 1 1/2 with the grain which is a perfect length.
dope video AD! im working toward using only detachables..i feel like i work better with them. can you do a video about the pros n cons of detachables and adjustables?
Also check out @sinsfadeandshave on Instagram. All his cuts are done via detachable clipper. he also has diagrams
+TheExpatStylist Thanks a lot man
what kind of customer Apron do you use
Great tutorial as always... Very helpful.... Question for you. Do you use a hot towel? Why or why not?
Thank you, Yes you can use the hot towel for a lot of different things, I will use them sometimes to help lay the hair down
some good tips for a style
Would you consider your self to be heavy handed when you line up? From the way you lined up the back it looked like you applied a lot of pressure.
Maybe the trimmers on the back aren't zero gapped. I have some that are close but not zeroed for the back of the neck
Good videos keep up the work---where did u get the cape for your clients?
hey thanks, the cape im using is called a clocca cape if you google that you can find it
can u do it with a set blade and speedo guards just the same technique?
They go from 000 up to 2
Nice video homie I own the bgrc as well. Where can I buy that cape from?
Yea they are nice clippers, thye are called clocca capes you can just google that and youll find them
Niiiiccceee!!💪
what clipper did you use to edge up the front?
1 1 andis Gtx trimmer
good shiit man, real clean
I thought I was the only one who didn't like gaurds...
How bout a detachable low taper/mid taper/high taper either one.
Fade masters do the same job, but I need these in my life.
Yes they will and probably a little better lol but the bgrc are nice clippers
Check your camera to see if you have the auto focus feature on.
its on, I was using the 50mm lens and it loses focus sometimes when it sees other things in the mirror
awesome I've been trying over 15 years I can never get it to look that clean lol
is this a temp fade?
joseph gonzalez yes a high temp
Looks so much easier to fade than with guards.
Bruh what number is on the top and what is on the side?
Blades give it a clean look
Yea blades get a nice smooth cut
Whoa good cut but what other barber pushed him backed 🥺
thank you
Thanks for viewing
why not just go against the grain of makes it more even then going with the grain👊
It cuts it shorter
When I get famous ima say “shout out that nigga Adrian” watch me.
I'm a BLADE man!!!
Dope cut....but guards!
I thought it was p-dice in the thumbnail
Hey bro can you shout me out im 15 i plan to be a barber in the future
Guards
Definantly team guards!
Jesus his hairline way back there
He should've just got a bald fade, that hair is not is not well maintained in the back
I like blades better
Guards
