How to do a Taper 💯 Easy Step by Step Haircut Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ค. 2024
- Due to popular demand after my fade video, I am doing a step-by-step tutorial on tapering complete with zoomed in views and details on equipment and techniques.
With a growing desire for individuality, the standard boxed haircuts are a thing of the past and many modern hairstyles involve at least some elements of a taper. A taper haircut is a longer version of the fade.
➡️ While the length of hair allows for a little less precision than a fade, it is still important to keep those lines clean and understand the proper techniques to build the perfect taper.
From clipper, blade, and guard choices to hand movement techniques, this step-by-step tutorial is your complete guide to the easiest and best method for a taper haircut.

I tell people all the time I learned more on the actual art of cutting on TH-cam than I did in Barber College. I credit school on my book knowledge, and TH-cam for the practicality of real world cutting… Grateful!
I did the same! School gets you that license…what you learn beyond that is up to you! I watched hours of TH-cam my first years and still do!
loved this!! Would love a slo mo of connecting the top to the sides with clipper over comb and using the thinning shears. I always seem to leave a heavy weight line where the top meets the side. Ty. GREAT video
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Same
Try to neatly seperate the sides from the top. Like at the top where their material hairline parts. Makes the cuts so clean n neat. Also thinning shears
Same!!!

Love what you did with this man. This is great. Also surprised to see you using the DLC blade lol
I got it hitting!
I used to never ever use the half guard but when we talk mm! The half guard worth it !
💯💯💯
Thank you for this! Btw I listened to your interview/podcast of what inspired you and how you got on. I appreciate the grind ✊
That’s what’s up! Appreciate that! 🙏🏼
OooooooooooooooH Weeeeeeeeeeeee, that's a supa-clean cut bro..!!!
Thank you!
this helped me out a lot, you should do a close up on the side burns to blend with the beard
Thanks for the idea!
great vid sean i would like to see one on how to cut the top and a mohawk thanks for the vid
Working on some scissor videos 👌🏻
🔥🔥🔥
😤😤😤

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks bro…
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Rapi fasenya..!!
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Really helpful! How can I connect the last step of the taper with more bulk. I personally cut my hair a #2 with the grain but connecting the last step to the bulk it always challenging for me.
Just have to stack the guards. I’m looking to record that soon and show how I do it
Could you please do a step by step burst fade
Whenever I get one I plan on it
Hey Sean, awesome explanation! Do you prefer the red #1 and the green 0.5 guards over the premium guards? How are you liking those babyliss premium guards?
Only use the colored guards for TH-cam. Can’t beat the premiums but I hear the new Babyliss premiums are 🔥
Close up of zero gapped clippers and video on converting corded clippers to cordless (like the unicords magic clip with a tomb 45 battery)
Have a few zero gap videos coming soon!
Fire video!🔥what’s the name of the air compressor you use for the enhancement?
I have the Tomb45 Beam Team XL and a master airbrush from amazon
Nice video bro can u teach how to do a low fade
I’ll have some low fade tutorials
What guards is he using with lo pro?? I’m talking about the colored guards!
Colored Wahl premium knockoffs
are you slimlines zero gapped ? not fully like the fx’s obviously or are they set originally straight from the box ? cuz i see you put in the ceramic blade
No they’re not set very close
Great video, how you like the blade on the lopro clippers
Not loving it. Switched to a taper blade since the video
Can you do it with a fade blade
I been trying to find videos on what it takes to start a shop, including LLC, insurance, how to find a building if you can’t afford to have one built. How to hire a tax person etc.. basically a video from behind the scenes of things we don’t see about the shop, the office and business side!
Can you make one?
Been wanting to touch on most of that. Just some time consuming content to put out
@@Seancutshair yea I’d say that’s going to be a lengthy video,. It’s just hard to find that type of material on TH-cam, Very few have hit on the topic, Bossio has touched on it a lil, But hey man, either way,. I’m grateful for all the content you guys at Tomb45 put out for us!
Yooo when you’re blending the guidelines, do you always flick out and use the corner of the clippers ?
Most of the time I set it with the whole clipper then blend out with a flicking out motion or the corner. Depends on the shape. If it’s a burst or drop fade I use more corners. Straight across I can use more of the blade and flick out
Se todos os vídeos fosse assim seria melhor para aprender 🙏🏽👏📏
I have a few more
Hi Sean, great content, I just subscribed. As a completely new barber to the industry, I'm having trouble trying to determine what you mean by some of your terms. "Punching", "Balding out", "slim line" etc. I'm wondering if this is just your terminology or if this is common language to barbers? Thanks! Also, so sorry - one more question, in one video you said never to do a .5 or a 1.5 exclusively for an open section but in this video you started with a .5 open section (with clipper open) am I missing something? Thank you so much.
Pretty standard terminology. Punching the line in means using the trimmer how I did to put the bald line in vs. scooping out (coming up and flicking out) which leaves a softer line. Balding out means cutting everything down to skin. Slim line is the name of the trimmer I was using. .5 is a guard used in between the open clipper section and the open 1. I start with the clipper open, not the same thing.
@@Seancutshair massive clarity - thanks a thousand for walking me thru that. Thrilled to begin a stable career in what is a very unpredictable world. Looking forward to learning more from your videos. Thank you.
@@dw309 I got plenty of content go watch it all 😜 good luck!!!
Hello. Is andis trimer on zero gape?or BABYLISS trimer? Thnk 🙌
The Babyliss is zero gapped, the andis slimline is straight out the box
Great taper. What guards are you using?
Colored Wahl premium knockoffs
Lol , thanks
Pls talk about the steps specifically how to use them
I did! Did you watch the video?!
@@Seancutshair no l mean the difference steps and the one guard see call it one and some call it one and a half while u also said the half guard is not used as a guide/step is only uses for blending pls can u explain more on that those are where am confused...
@@smartphonetechs8939 I have use the same steps in every video just watch a few and you ll see
what do we do if using a 4 notch clipper, how do we open halfway
Unfortunately can’t do halfway. I’d try and take the clicks out so you can get in the middle. I just posted a video on how to remove them
Are your low pros clippers and trimmers 0 gapped ?
No they’re straight out the box
Where do we purchase the shirt with the clipper on it from the end of the video????? @seancutshair
Man it’s old I don’t carry it any more. Might make something new soon!
Are u only using the corners of the blade when fading lines out
Most of the time
How can I used these steps with andis master due to the lever system is a 1 all the way open..Will I use andis half way then the 1 .5 guard.?
It would work pretty much the same just have to see exactly what that setup will give you. Could be slightly different
@@Seancutshair thanx..I just realized that andis 2.25mm or 0.5 guard is actually wahl half guard half way🤦♂️
You use the full blade with the 1.5 and half guard ?
Half open and it depends sometimes just the corners
this video is good. but. our english is not good. please, which guard did you use when you cut, please write it on your video. thank you
Open clipper, then 1, then 2. 1.5 between the 2 and 1, .5 between the open and 1
You got that “Blur Guard”!!??
Yeah did a video on it
you should do one video on line ups, bc I don’t kno how to line up nor do I wanna push it back &’ another video on razor work at the end of a cut
I wanna say Sean has a few videos going over that in his playlist,.. they’re not labeled line up tutorial or anything, but I remember him showing his steps during a couple different videos.. but it’s one of those things you have to watch through his playlist for,.. and I mean, watching all his videos helps you learn, aswell as helps stack views for his channels…. Win win!
@@jamiehogue7730 i appreciate it but id say just a video making it the main topic of discussion yk
I plan on doing a video on line ups
@@Seancutshair yesssiiirrr 🙏🏼💯
I need help always on the side tapers
May do a side taper video
What hair spray do you use on a regular?
Level 3. Just cheap and easy to order
noti gabf
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Love it but next time you should use a darker hair client please
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
A video on detail work would be very helpful, pointing out dark spots and just explaining how get that blend consistent. Just an idea 💡 I think it would make for a great video if you don’t already have one made.
Good idea!
Skin tapers tend to look less harsh and more clean in my opinion
As opposed to what?
@@Seancutshair as apposed to a mid or high skin fade
@@Seancutshair appreciate you my brother your haircut are top notch quality
What gloves do you use?
Sanek (the neck strip brand)
@@Seancutshair thank you bro! Love your work
helloo bro..
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Looking at the thumbnail I thought those were lil fat rolls, not guidelines lol
🤣🤣🤣
Do you believe not everyone is meant to have a fade, due to the amount or severity of highs and lows, in their head or do you believe ANYONE can have/wear a fade cut?
I definitely think there are people that look better with tapers or even more hair than that
@@Seancutshair, well… you did a good job and thank you for showing this cut and on this head of hair. Nothing wrong with his head or hair, but it is not your typical head of hair you see everywhere else. Everyone seems to only want to show the quintessential head of hair. Again, nothing wrong with this guy’s; just different .
@@fyvnyn0990 yeah I try to show real clients not just my best heads of hair
Educate...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
THIS is guard skipping bro lol
No I don’t skip any I use them all
Customer chewing gum, bloody annoying when in conversation or doing detail work around the ear or neckline.
Noticed it when editing 🤦🏻♂️
