    If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Kouras. I started cutting my own hair when I was 13, back in 2008. This was during the Windows 99 era-dial-up internet, when TH-cam was a dating site, and the global economy got slapped. Hard. Because of it, my mom lost her job for nearly three years, and during that time, my dad had to support her, me, and my two brothers all on his own.
    I started cutting my hair as a way to help my family save money because I was tired of hearing my parents argue about finances and wanted to do something to make things easier for them. After getting a few bad haircuts at Supercuts, I knew this was the best way I could help.
    With that being said, this channel does not do my past any justice. I wish I could have recorded my first handful of self-haircuts so you could see just how garbage they were. I got made fun of a lot because of it in middle school-even by some of the moms from the kids on my soccer team! Rightfully so... They were pretty bad.
    Now, over 15 years later, I share content that teaches millions of people every month in more than 165 countries how to save time and money by mastering self-haircuts from the comfort of your own home. It’s not a hard skill to learn, but like anything in life, if you make it a priority and stay committed, you can succeed without letting the tough times make you quit.
    I had every reason to quit when I got started. No money. No mentor. No TH-cam. No clippers, only a $20 Remington beard trimmer. I was literally just a little kid who cared way more about my family's well-being than any bit of harsh criticism I could get as a result. Times have changed since 2008 and you now have an opportunity of a lifetime with my channel.
    Please know, I’m here to help you on your self-haircut journey in any way I can. Self-haircuts are fun, an awesome skill to have, and the best way to avoid ever paying for a barber again!
    The Free Self-Haircuts For Life Club is calling your name! What are you waiting for? Get started today!

      @@christianruano2761 the tricky part at first is cutting the back as everythings in reverse, I used two mirrors to start with and getting used to doing everything backwards. Honestly its like anything, the more you keep trying itll become 2nd nature. Ive actually got used to where the fade starts, ends etc I can cut it all now without a 2nd mirror but as I say ive been at it for a very long time. Its dead handy though as you can cut your hair anywhere you like 😁 on holiday, at 1am, lockdown etc.

    Hi Alex,
    I just did my second haircut with my new clippers. Had never cut my own hair until now. Your video gave me a lot of confidence that I could do it my self! The first hair cut I said to my self, this is a better haircut than I get at a salon. The second time, I realized that it's best to go slow, go steady, stay calm. It's another great haircut. I'm not getting my hair cut done by anyone else again.

  • @tripmastermonkee
    @tripmastermonkee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    This is great advice. For beginners, a great hack to create an even line all around the head is to take an old baseball cap and cut off the bill. Place it on your head and cut all the hair below accordingly. Once you gain some experience and get comfortable cutting your own hair, i recommend starting with the back line first before doing the sides, making sure the centerline is even. It makes adjusting the sides much easier when you know the back is straight. I've been cutting my own hair for over 25 years, since i was 13. I must say, that to this day there's nothing that makes a man feel sexier than a fresh fade and a brand new wife beater. In combination, it's a sure shot way to feel like a million bucks!!

I normally start in the reverse direction, with the long guard first and going down the hairline to the short ones. With your parting techniques I am sure I will do it better next time. :-) Still practising, but each time it gets better!

I used the same exact Wahl trimmer you used in the video. Some tips that really helped me: 1.) I used the pre-existing fade line I got from my barber at my final hair cut with him. 2.) I put on an athletic stretchy headband to have a set line.

    Had my first haircut today💇🏻
    It was not at all possible to be done without any help. And this would require like tons of practice.
    it took me 3 hours to patiently do this.
    But the final product was perfect and like pro hair cut. kudos to my Dad who helped me.
    All the tips in this video helped. This is a perfect video 👍🏼
    I saw this video 4 times before starting the hair cut.
    If you are going to try this, make sure you have a lot of patience.
    I had my experience of fading from shapping my beard and that helped.
    Well, you need to have a back up plan if you are trying to do the same.
    My BACKUP plan was a military cut. This same fade technique will help. But in the top you can trim with highest settings of your trimmer.
    Also someone to help you if you are stuck.
    Cutting your Hair in your back would require help.
    And fear is good, but target it through patience.
    Also, dont let your hair grow a lot. Try this while your hair is medium. It will give you more confidence.
    Now I can do this again. 😅😃

      Thank you for watching! I feel like you definitely could. I just watched one of your videos to see your hair length. I would say,
      1. Use no guard or #1 guard for the sides and back
      2. Use a #2 & #3 guard for the corners that connect your back and sides to your top
      3. Use maybe a #6 or #7 guard for your top
      Best of luck! Much more content coming soon! 😃
