Thank you so much for this guide, I'm a trainee Barber and didn't understand the guards untill now 😂😅

Best one I’ve seen yet definitely for dummies thanks lol 🙏🏽😂

Just started at a shop this will help tremendously

thanks for breaking it down!! going to be cutting hubby’s hair.. 🤣 wish me luck!

Thanks this really helped

What you think about using only these lengths: Lever closed = 0mm (Fade with Lever Open = 0,5mm) 1 Guard Closed = 1mm Then… 1,5 Guard Open = 2mm (Fade with 1 Guard Open = 1,5mm) I say this because for my Wahl some guards are missing (I only have Guard 1, Guard 1,5, Guard 2 and Guard 4,5)

This the best video explaination on these foreal👍🏿

Thanks i was worrying about half guards from now i can use the lever to control and others youtuber said eliminating half guards can be difficult

Great explanation.

I only started cutting hair I’m struggling on scissor work mainly but I’m getting there.

I just got my clippers and trying to cut my own son hair because I now can't afford to get cut and this really help me alot.

Is it the same thing with baybliss pro clippers

Bought the wahl and man they feel good I have a cheap surker but it fades good

This really helped me I want to learn to cut

Needed this

Great video. Veryhdlpful

Great video

This man is the goat. Straight forward and simple 💪🏿💪🏿 Preciate you my guy

Hey do wahl guards fit in babyliss low pro fx?

Amazing

Thank you man!!!!!!!! Wow!

does it matter which guards you use for both taper and fade blades?

So do you even close the 2 after the 1 1/2 open since the 1 1/2 is a 2????

Thank you bro

Hi got a question mate. Does WAHL guards (1.5mm&4.5mm essentially 0.5&1.5 guards) fit KEMEI KM809A clipper? Thanks.

Hmm, so this is pretty much what I used to do with my last pair of clippers and all seemed good. Had to get a new pair, Wahl Designer, and it seems I have to work extra hard to get the line out of my head. Is it common for taper levers to be off?? Been thinking of just getting a new pair. These clippers don't have hard stop notches on the lever either.

Really helped

Thank you!

Loved your video, just subed to your channel,

Thank you

I need to get a 1.5 to fix where I messed up my own hair 😂. So put on a # 1 guard then open it ?

This is what I needed f the numbers .. 3xplain it simple and broken down

Which can you recommend for the kemei I ordered mine which would be best for my clippers

So what about the half guards like the 1 1/2 and a normal 1/2 half guard do those go into each other to

I have an issue taking a heavy weight line out on a bald fade when the hair is really dark is there an easier way to do this fade to make the line dissappear?

Do certain blades take out more bulk and make the hair look thinner at the same length? For example people say the magic clips that are staggered are like texturizing shears . Texturizing shears can flatten out the hair a lot. So does the staggered clip essentially thin out hair ontop of blend the tips? Or is it not that dramatic to worry about? I personally don’t like showing scalp. I like to cut my hair longer all around. Don’t need sharp looking lines or fades. Kinda a medium length on the sides/back, top is longer. I’m trying to upgrade and get the best setup for that since I never have done it that way . Fade blades/taper blades etc old school senior blades . I mean , at the end of the day there will be a taper on the sides and back. I had seen icons had the longest extension on their blades I think. But I was lookin at the magic/senior corded with the strongest motor. I had read someone combining the crunch blade of the magic with the top end of another style. Sounds interesting to me. Would you have any suggestions for a setup that would help that sort of cut best? Obviously one can do it with anything but at this point I might as well get it as well set up as possible . I saw a video where a guy used the magic and senior with the same clip and oddly the magic cut shorter and showed more scalp, which was confusing, it had the slower motor vs the cordless senior. Idk if motor really also effects the density of the cut but maybe it was his angles being off. I do like a textured finish instead of super flat and buzzed looking , it rather have my hair look thick and less likely show scalp. Curious if the blades could affect that type of overall finish . I been using 40 dollar wahls for years and haven’t put much thought behind it

I want to transition & play with levers too!

Well explained

If I have long hair like haven’t got a cut in a few month what gar should I start off to shorten my hair before I go into fading and all that I usually get tapers but I m confused on what gar will get my hair to that length I’m new to all this can someone pls help me out?

What machine is that your using is it the andis master clipper?

Does a number 1 guard open halfway turns into the 1.5 ?

Thank you so much

Thank you for the video. Quick question, might be a silly question sorry. Is for example the 0.5 guard on a Wahl DETAILER the same as a 0.5 guard for a Wahl clipper? Thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for posting this video. I’ve got a good idea of wahl clipper guards. But still a little confused with one transition/combination… I saw another video it explains from #2 guard” to a “#1 guard” is by using the 1.5 guard lever half open. (Assuming the 2 and the 1 were lever closed) As you may have noticed most KZfaq fade tutorials the authors use #2 + 1# OPEN! So my question is…. What would you use blending between these two?

What brand and type of clippers are you using? Thanks!

what if you use 1.5 open instead of closes ? Do you youse same method with the 1 guard close/open ?

What guard do i use to bring a taper fade down

Is there difrence between closed lever and 0.5 guard because im very confused

Thanks a lot for the video. I have a question. I want to buy a clipper and extra guards online. Can you tell me what I should pay attention to so that the guards snap onto the clipper ?

Short and impactful video But I want you to make the video explanation of how and when the levers are open/closed in a more detailed way in which the beginners like me can understand

Very helpful

What clippers do you use?

And which guards would be best for the babyliss

My clippers are some random clippers I bought to shave my dads hair off and now I’m into doing barbering but my clippers don’t have a lever it has a little thing at the bottom which does the same thing I believe

U KNO what I like about u bro, u just explain it simply, we don't have to hear u talk about your religion or silly SHYTT. U just explain it and end the video, Good job guy!👍🏾

So if I have a 1.5 and I put the lever in the middle it would be a 1.75?

You are amazing

So i could fade with just guards since my clipper doesnt have a lever correct?
