Michel, you work so hard teaching people how to cut their own hair I have been watching barbers for so many years I have never seen a barber work so hard teaching people how to cut their hair, God Bless you and thank you. God keep you safe.

This is sooo much better and easier than cutting multiple guide lines and then fading out the lines! Will definitely use this method to DIY my own fade cut, as soon as my clippers and 3 way travel mirror arrive. Thanks!

Just want to say thanks for these tutorials. You have a very natural teaching style which has giving me the confidence to fully cut my own hair now. I’m doing a .5 to a 2 on the back and sides and point cutting the top (which I learnt to do separately). Please keep the videos coming with regards to self haircuts and any further hints and tips will be well appreciated. Would you also consider making videos reviewing the equipment you use or we novice self cutters could look to buy, suggestions on what to buy and what to avoid etc etc?

A couple of tips. Keep your bald line low. And take your time. For me I always work in the same order. Zero Quarter Half One One and a half Two. And just move my line up a little on each change.

Michael - I wear glasses. From your other videos, I have learned how to use the clippers without my glasses. This fade looks like glasses will come in handy. What do you recommend?

You can fold up one leg and put them on. Then cut around the ear area that is free, then swap positions. Then once you are finished the ears just complete the rest of the cut with your glasses on.

You can work without a lever. The lever allows small increment changes. But you can either move through the guards or bend the clipper away. I do have a clipper without a lever though so may do that.

Do you advise against this method? Thanks! I just ask because you start with the shortest from the bottom. Is it just a matter of preference?

Andis US Pro Cordless Lithium Ion Clipper are marginally cheaper. And quite similar in quality. They also have fade blades out of the box I think. Or half the price nearly and I've heard they are quite good. Electric Head Jog Titanium Pro-Air Clipper Plus I see them in professional salon suppliers. I've never used them but head jog have a decent rep.

@DocHoliday596 Жыл бұрын

Hello Michael thank you for the awesome tutorials. At 13:42 did you mean to say the half guard and not the one and a half ? Because then when you moved up you put on the one guard? I am sorry but it's so confusing when you are new to this like me. Cheers!

@theoneminutebarber Жыл бұрын

Yeah that is confusing. It's a 1.5 mm guard which actually is the same as the blade with no guard and the lever down. Both are 1.5mm Not many clippers come with a 1.5mm they aren't really necessary for some reason I like them. The number #1 guard on the other hand will say 3mm on it and is just a bigger step up. The best advice I can give is to visualise a gradual increase regardless of the numbers you use.
