I was asked by some of my buddies at work how to cut hair. I told them I had been doing it for ten years and said I would post a video on how to cut your own hair with a fade.
There are many other ways to cut your hair, but this is the quickest and efficient for myself.
Be sure to have a vacuum at the ready for when you are done so you can clean up the mess you make. Very helpful.

Glad to see someone using a trimmer all I have don't have a step attachment ti make it easier. Had one but moved and left it. On the other side of the world. Didn't hear you start with just the trimmer no attachment then go to a 2 3 or 4 for final stage and use the smallest attachment to blend.

Dude, the bandana was such a great idea! These other videos I watched never mentioned it! 💀 I been cutting my own hair for a month now (1 on top, 0 on sides) just to keep it basic, but I wanna work up to a fade. Defenitly gonna give this method a shot next time!

I prefer a modified short flat top on the top. Instead of straight up side I like to round the edge a little

@bigacefilms Жыл бұрын

I tried flat tops but the grain of the hair is the key part that screwed me over.

@Donald-un7jg 10 ай бұрын

If I had been there sitting in a chair, I would really want you to go ahead and cut the hair across the top with the clippers and a #2 guard and then cut the back and sides up high all the way around with the clippers and no guard, cutting the back and sides up high and as close to the skin as possible, it would be a high bald skin fade as close as it had been shaved.

@donaldbanks1474 Жыл бұрын

I'd like to have you give me a recon style haircut, with it cut about an 1/8 inch on top, and the back and sides shaved up high and close to the skin,a proper recon style haircut, very military looking. Change that to a #1 guard on top and then use the clippers on the back and sides cutting them as close as possible.

Im a 15 yr old, My Dad Never Occurred To Teach Me How To Self cut My Own Hair Or Which He Never Had The Opportunity To, So Looking At Ur Tutorial Makes Me wanna Give It a Try Im Just Afraid I Might Mess Up (also can you write how many millimetres on The Machine You Used For An Example Like Side, Top, And You Know 😂)

@bigacefilms Ай бұрын

Hey! Glad you found this video. It’s always fun to try something new like this. It will take a few times but with practice you’ll find a style that fits you! I usually use the highest mm on the top (or I’ll leave the length on the top). I start with higher mm first on the sides after the initial line. Usually a 5-7 then work my way down to 4, 2 and last I use a 1mm to fade it. You can skip mm levels. You don’t have to go in order if you don’t want. Make it easy on yourself and see what works best on your hair. Hope this helps!

It takes practice! I went around with a shaved head for awhile. Once it is shaved though it’s harder to make mistakes on it after a week because you can’t see them as bad and it gives you practice at that length to make a fade. Don’t give up!

*YOUR FADE AT SIDES OF HEAD IS JUST ALL ONE SIZE/DEPTH. THATS NOT FADING. THATS JUST SHAVING YOUR HEAD WITH ONE SIZE NUMBER DUDE. FADING IS 2-3 NUMBER ATTACHMENTS, EVER SO SUBTLE CHANGING.*

@bigacefilms 10 ай бұрын

You are right, however this cut works for me perfectly for military standards. It should also work for anyone else looking for a do it yourself/save money cut. I’m no barber and haven’t stepped foot in a shop for over 8 years. I appreciate your feedback about the correct terminology and fading. I would not have known that.

Perhaps you could post the military instructions for every branch on grooming standards, and post a video yourself on the proper cut explaining it in detail? That would assist greatly. Thanks for the feedback!
