“You don’t wanna replace your barber”..... umm yes tf i do. That’s why im here 😂

I tried it. Looks like my lockdown just got extended

33:02 - This is 100% Right! I was 15 when I gave myself my first self-cut. It looked NEAT and one of my boys gassed me up about it the following day. I then decided to try and maker it NEAT-ER, and ended up going bald that same afternoon. SETTLE WITH NEAT!!!! 😂😂

Love the fact that there’s lots of sisters up here learning to cut their sons hair. That’s mad respect yo! 👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽✊🏽

This man is more than a barber; he is a teacher. Explanations are in depth. Great content. 👌

I've been cutting my son hair for the last 5 years - he's in highschool now, so I guess I'm doing something right!🤣 ..now I'm trying to get him to go to a barber and he doesn't want too! It's our quality time, so it's cool.

$50 dollars a cut bought me here 📝

Listen man I’m here because I’m tired of waiting at the barbershop to get my haircut .. I need to master this !! 😂

this is proof that the youtube algorithm is actually accessing my webcam to see my hair is too long

Quarantine got me tryna risk it all 😂

This video motivated me to buy my own clippers after being stood up by my barber for over an hour this morning. I’m tired of barbers treating me like I can’t go anywhere else while raising their prices. I picked up a Wahl Pro Series at Target and Wahl Hero T-Liner from Sally’s for my line up. 2hrs later- Shiiiiiidddd I may never need to go back to a barbershop again!!! Thank you 🙏🏾

Just my cut my own hair for the first time with a taper fade, Took me a couple hours but looks great! Going to get better overtime. Thanks so much, saving me so much money in the long run ☺️ so happy

I never even cut my hair before, but Ima bout to buy these clippers and learn. If I cut a patch I will just quarantine until it grow back.

I started cutting my own hair years ago, after barbershops started taking call-in appointments. The last time I sat in a barber's chair was when I waited all day (literally) to get a haircut. One thing's for sure, I have saved a ton of money and I don't have to listen to all of the gossiping.

I am so tired of barbers charging my 7 year old $20-$30 so I made my way to a KZfaq University 😂. I love the way you broke everything down! I’m going to try this this weekend. Wish me luck. Subscribed.

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. As an Army veteran, I have cut my own hair for many years and that was all good, but I lacked skills and technique. After watching this video, I have a whole new perspective on how it's properly done. A very interesting and helpful video. Thank you so much.

This is probably the best tutorial I’ve ever seen on self cuts for beginners. He laid out all the important tricks and methods most KZfaq pages never talked about. Great video👍🏾

pro barber: self-cut 35 mins us noobs: self-cut 3 hours 50 mins ol i really appreciate your in-depth clip fam respect!!

This tutorial is great! I’m a lady with natural short 4c hair and wanted to cut it off for a regrow. I have my own clippers now, and this video gave me the confidence to cut my own hair with actual knowledge.

So, I am very white, and not a talented hair cutter. My husband is black, and trusted me to cut his hair. I have to say, it didn’t turn out NEAR as good as yours, but thanks to you, he was happy with what I did!

My barber gonna be mad when he find out I cheated on him

He just gave relationship advice and didn't know it. The more time you take trying to perfect something, the more you'll mess it up. -- Gamechanger

I ain't even black, but this dudes approach chill af. Smooth bro. Not like all these in yo face tuber wack ass tutorials. Excellent my dude👍

This video is really the gift that keeps on giving. After watching/studying this video at least 4 times I finally cut my hair for the first time. And it will not be the last, unfortunately for my barber I gotta relieve him of his services. Just did a little even all over cut, no mishaps, and I am pleased. Thank you sir.

I'm either about to give myself the taper I've always wanted or a complete baldie 😂😂

Good Morning it is June 11th and my son comes in my room and says, mom, check out this video. So I watched it and said we can do this son. He says he refuses to pay $30.00 for a haircut. So he goes to Sally's to get his clippers. He was in the bathroom forever but he did a good job for his first time. He called for my assistance to line up the back. At 6'4 I had to chair him. Thank you, sir, for this tutorial. You are an excellent teacher. Now if we could get teachers like you in the high schools our young men would be on point. Thank you 1000 times over.👍👍👍👍

Yo I really appreciate you actually going in detail, going step by step explaining in non-barber terms because half the time I gotta google shit to know what it is and loose interest in even cutting my hair. This is probably the most professional stylist video I've come across. Any expert can regurgitate textbooks a true master can break it down to a 5 year old. Subscribed.

Thanks man. Less than 5 minutes in and I got some good tips already. Been cutting my own hair for nearly three years and I didn't realize that I was always using too much pressure and force on the clippers. Lightened the pressure and instantly a better haircut! Thanks again, might also edit this if I hear anything else that was very enlightening.

I felt that part where you said, “You just got to trust that left hand.” Lol , That’s FACTS right there lol

“There’s no such thing as a perfect edge up” yeah tell that to jalen rose

Gamechanger, it's crazy how you'll give or settle for a good cut on yourself. When every cut you've given someone else has been fire. Says alot about your heart. Great video, u are appreciated.

Thank you for this tutorial. My foster son was not wanting to go to a salon for his haircuts, and you saved the day by showing this mama how to successfully cut super curly hair!

this man is an artist. bruh how you gonna make cutting the back look so damn easy.

if you mess up, call your job and tell them a family member got the rona. free 2 weeks to let your hair grow back

Man, your directions are so accurate and very helpful to say the least! Your explanations are super helpful and for the first time, I have successfully faded my own hair, ending my afro hair project that lasted 4 or so months. This is the first time I am ever listening to a KZfaq video for such an activity. I will recommend your directions to my friends wo would want to have a try.

I've been cutting my own hair since about 2011. Nothing fancy, just an all even cut on a 1. Since quarantine, I've gotten the confidence to try to taper fade myself, but a few times I done fucked up and been like, "Now look at you. Done got over confident and now you got two different angles of fade on ya head!"😂😂😂 people at work have asked me how I keep my hair so fresh during quarantine, and it felt good to say I do it myself! I'm a PT (Physical Therapist) assistant at a nursing home and the beautician we had couldn't come in the building, so I volunteered to cut their hair on my days off snd this video alone helped A LOT when trying to cut their favorable styles. I really appreciate this tutorial bro!! FOR REAL!💯💯💯

In reality, It takes years to learn how to cut your own hair and have it looking good. Takes practice. I've been cutting my hair since I was 16 and it took repetition to get nice with it. There are barbers that cant even cut their own hair. It's a different type of hand/eye coordination.

This dude got a PhD in hair cutting lol

I actually watched the whole video without skipping any parts at all. Great tutorial man, very easy to follow and everything perfectly explained 💯🔥❤‍🔥

Thanks for the video, Im a mom that is tired of the prices going up on hair cuts. I have started doing braids and twist on my own hair and have always wanted to cut as well. This is the perfect time to show my 2boys that if mom can cut u in then they can learn to do it themselves as well. Thanks for your time, it was a good one.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm a female that stumbled across this video and watched it only to see if the content would be of interest to my husband and son during the shelter-in-place. What I didn't expect was to find information that would be of value to me. Your explanation of how to care for the hair has help me understand part of the reason why my hair has continued to break even after only allowing professionals to touch it for a year. My hair needed to be properly moisturized, handled at certain times with a large tooth comb before moving to a brush and fine tooth comb. I almost cried when I combed my hair this morning and there was no shedding. It's because for the first time, I clearly understand the importance of moisturizing before combing. I noticed that 142 people did not find your video beneficial. As for me, your video came at a crucial time. Please don't allow the negative comments to stop you from teaching. You have taught me how to prevent further hair loss.

Just cut my own hair using this video and I’ve gotten nothin but compliments. Thank u my man preciate it ☝🏾

man respect to everyone who shows us how to cut our own hair. i cut my hair some years back and it came out good but it’s therapeutic when you go and get your hair cut and you come out cleannnn... but learning how to cut your own hair is very vital. since May, I’ve been getting better and i’m also thinking about going to barber school now. thanks again for the video🔥🙏🏾

Thank you, this was super helpful as ive started my self-cut journey. Every one of my questions were answered and this was well worth watching the full 35 mins!

He went from a late 90s Lenny Cravis to Never Would of Made It Marvin Sapp

As a barber this was a nice explained video for people that never cut their own hair. 👌🏾

i have consistently gotten my best cuts following this tutorial i’ve been cutting my own hair since high school maybe 5-6 years ago. thanks a lot man bless up

This is wtf i'm talking about...had to go through at least five videos being lost as hell before I found this one lol. Thank you so much for going so much into detail for someone that's never attempted to cut before

This guy Maurice Jones-Drew is something else, man. Solid career in the NFL, and now helping the people during COVID quarantine.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY AND I HOPE THIS HELPS! SHARE WITH SOMEONE THIS CAN HELP! ANY QUESTIONS? IF YOU TRY IT SEND ME YOUR RESULTS, I’ll check them out! @dwright04

Sir! This is the by far, the best KZfaq video I have ever seen concerning African American hair.. Your tutorial is informative, concise and empowering. You are an excellent teacher and barber. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents with us. What a wonderful gift! Thank you so much.

Love how complex things can get the deeper into the details you dive. Thanks a lot for this video. Im going bald thanks to genetics so i think its going to be easier. I practiced a lot with my beard (to gain confidence). Yesterday i bought a cordless trimmer to give my hair some love. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.

I've been cutting my own hair since I was 14, now 26, although I prefer to go to my barber. A lot of failures come along the way, your self-cutting-skills definitely won't come overnight! For those that are just beginning, don't give up, now is the perfect opportunity.

I'm attempting to cut my son's hair... Wish me luck!

My man thank you so much for this. You gave me the confidence to try and it came out looking much better than expected. Even got the wife’s approval. THANK YOU.

Dear Game Changer, this video tutorial on how to cut hair is defintely a game changer! What a great video with so much information for new time self cutters like myself. I think the most important part of the process is to take it slow, and you demonstrated so much patience throughout the tutorial. Big thank you!

I didn’t come here as a pro to judge or anything. I don’t even know how I made it here. BUT as a professional I have you say you are INCREDIBLE! The whole video was Straight. To. The. Point! Thank you! It was so good and your tone was perfect as a pro teaching some very beginner at home maintenance. I’m off to binge some of your videos. I like the way you talk and explain things.

I started cutting my own hair four years ago and I learned some things from this video that I was having issues with. I also received confirmation on things I thought I was doing correctly. Great video, you're a good teacher.

I just moved away from my barber after 25 years, I was scared af to touch my head lol but I started watching tutorial videos… this one right here!! Not going to lie I think helped me the most because you didn’t use anything else other than what you actually need💯thanks bro this shit helped od

Thank you for this! I had a fade that was growing out when the Rona put us in lockdown and really like my hair shorter now. I am getting clippers to do it myself and have been watching a lot of videos. Your tutorial was very informative and was the one I have seen that gives pointers on how to handle cutting with clippers on thinner hair. Thanks, again!

This was extremely informative. I can’t believe all the detail he went into 👌🏾thanks man. Wish me luck

I’ve been fading my own hair for the last two years and he uses a lot of the same tricks that I use and I’m a white dude with straight hair. It’s good to see that some things still translate no matter the hair type.

HUGE help! Just cut ✂️ my hair for the first time just now after watching this and I nailed it!

This is the best hair cut and taper video I've seen yet. A game changer for real for real. The details describing de-bulking is exactly what I needed. Thanks a ton. You're the GOAT!!!!!

Man, I tried to razor edge my line and took off my whole eyebrow 😭

Been cutting my hair a year now from watching this guys videos. The way he goes into details on the steps are real important

I might never need this as a White dude with longer hair but I find Black barbershops so intriguing. Something about the culture surrounding them and the intimacy of dealing with natural Black hair tends to make them very important in their communities. So many barbers are role models for their community's youth. Lots of wisdom and life lessons are shared there. Barbers and coaches provide so much guidance to young people that need some direction. They deserve far more love and respect. And again, I say this as someone that's simply listened from the outside. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills

been cutting my own hair for about 7 years now. and you still taught me like 12 things haha. Good vid big dawg.

This coming September will be 30 years since I started cutting my own hair. But even after all of those years, this video still gave me a few tips to improve.

Yo! I am so tired of paying for dudes to cut my hair halfass. I have been telling myself that I was going to watch a video and start cutting my own hair. After watching this video, rewinding over and over to check the position of your hands i cut my hair! what kept me motivated was you saying "the thinner the hair, the better the cut. well my hair is so fine it is thin. I get lucky to find a barber thats consistent one, let alone good on "my hair". just weird. so I thank you for the detailed accurate information! This was a fantastic educational video! THANK YOU! once i figure out how to upload a pic here i'll post. i'm so satisfied! #selfcut #patience #youcandoit

Ayo this is over a year old but I just gotta come and say...you def changed the game. I followed your tutorial as closely as I could even though I was mad nervous and I came out getting all types of compliments on my hair. I truly was going for a serviceable look so I could stop wolfin' while also saving money because I'm an actor. Now I don't know if it was beginner's luck but I'm committed to cutting my own hair for the foreseeable future haha. Thanks for doing this my guy!

Man bro you giving us gold! I been cutting my hair for a while now and just kept the low caesar (too scared to do a fade). You eased my mind about alot of questions I had. Preciate you man. Best wishes!

I've been cutting my own hair since 1990 and homie is crazy nice. All I'd add is to keep in mind that there are subtle flicks of the wrist with the correct angle of the clippers that are necessary to get that exact cut or blend in certain spots...so for newbies, take your time.

This video was very helpful! I really appreciate the tunez, explanations, patience, and the encouragements you provided in the video! ✊🏽

My barber is 45 and up, now listen I love my barber because he knows my hair and I been looking for a while before I found him. Been a years now but I ain’t got 45 every 2 weeks. I told him I was gonna learn, he said go for it lol

Hey Hun! This was a great tutorial. You really took your time and I learned a lot. Yes with Barber shops being closed down due to the quarantine and even some openings up, my family members are not confident with going out. So I bought some WALH clippers from the beauty supply store and have been trying cutting my son and mom hair. I still need a lot of practice but this video was great. Thank you!

The change in attitude after the cut was amusing. 😊Good tutorial.

You're alright, my man... This video was packed with helpful info... I'm a disabled vet who doesn't get out much, so I don't go to the barber regularly. And my hair looks like I'm homeless. So, I bought myself a cordless clipper and trimmer to take care of my hair at home. My trimmer has been delivered, and I'm still waiting on the arrival of my clippers. In the meantime, I've been searching for someone on YT who gives good instructions... And I'm glad I found your channel. You have literally debulked the dense body of barber knowledge. Preciate ya for it! 🎨

Dope video I started cutting my own hair like 5 years ago off KZfaq videos. The bald fade was tricky at first but after about 3 cuts I got it, and the blends now are really good.

This type of video is MUCH NEEDED by a lot of us, thank you!

Bro this tutorial was GREAT!!! Thank you for showing the entire cut and being so honest and giving so much detail. I wish I saw this one before I messed up my taper fade last week and had to give myself a light Caesar. Lol. But I was just able to use a few of the gems you dropped in here doing a little touch up on my hair. Thanks again I can’t wait until my hair longer to really try this again. Oh and fellas that read this I’ve been cutting my own hair for 21/22 years (for the most part) but couldn’t consistently nail the tapers. I’ve been using Andis Masters all this time but I just bought some Oster Fast Feeds and for Fading these joints are seeming to be a game changer! The Masters are GREAT but you’ve gotta already be pretty damn good to perfect fades with them, the Fast Feeds leave much more room for error and honing your skills.

haircuts $60 so um yea I do want to replace my barber. IM THE BARBER NOW!😂

Hands down the best tutorial barber video I've seen for the regular people.

This man is a gifted teacher. Thank you so much for making this video for us!

I Loved This Tutorial !!! It helped me to cut my sons hair. I watched other tutorials but didn't get it. You went slow and explained the different clips, what that lever thing does and how to angle the clippers. I felt more confident to tackle this task after watching your instructions. Thank you so much. His hair came out great.

I'm happy see you doing great D after all these years. I remember when we was kids and you first started cutting hair on the block. Keep up the work homie proud of you!

I'm only 1:30 into this video and you're already speaking directly to me. My son is 14. And we're both ready to learn. I watched a few videos already. And they weren't speaking to beginners. When I heard you say you're going to show your clipper set up, I felt relieved. I was waiting for someone to talk about that.

You did a great educational piece, you gave the “why” of self cutting, great job man,

I'm literally 14 an i cut my hair as well as some other people i got all my talent from you and jeezy

brilliant. thank you. we can tell you're a quality instructor. you take the time to explain why or why not and give people the confidence to apply the lessons themselves.

Great vid, didn't think i'd watch all of it cause of the length, but your personality and the straight forward info made it easy to watch all of it.

"I never tape the back of my neck. NEVER" Me: *29 minutes in* well, mannnn.

Boy I know u made a mess 🤦🏽‍♂️ worst part of self cut is cleaning up lmao

I was appalled when I seen how long this video was but you REALLYYYY taught me a handful of info 😭I appreciate it ‼️‼️

The best self cut video I’ve came across. More power to this King 👑🙏🏾💪🏾

i’m here because i’ve got to shave my man’s head tomorrow. this is by far the most thorough explanation i’ve seen on youtube. Thank you for the content! #quarantinemademedoit

Just cut my husband's hair. Great tutorial! In depth and clear for beginners. THANK YOU!

I appreciate the tutorial so much. Thank you for putting in as much detail as you did. My grandson has a skin condition as his father had, but he doesn’t want to go totally skin bald like his dad. And he’s told me even when he’s washed his hair several times with the medicated prescription shampoo before he goes to the barber, the lady that always does him will get ugly looks on her face and make comments. And quite often she just stops the job. And his hair is only half done. I was in cosmetology when I was younger. I had people with all kinds of things going on. I never ever did anything to make my clients feel bad and I sure as heck never let them leave the chair looking ridiculous. So any way, I’ve tried doing his hair and it just never came out right. It looked good but not how he wanted it. You have a very similar shape face and head as my grandson and he asked me to watch you and then try to do his hair right. I will give it a go and I think with your help, my handsome grandson won’t be embarrassed to go out again.

My boyfriend wants me to learn how to give him haircuts since we moved states away from his childhood barber. This was a great tutorial for me to follow and your hair texture and haircut is similar to his. Thank you so much!
