    I then decided to try and maker it NEAT-ER, and ended up going bald that same afternoon.

      No lie this made my eyes water. I came here to start learning how to cut my sons hair. He’s just a toddler. All I want is for one day him to want to spend time with me when he’s in high school. That’s typically the age where kids don’t want to spend time with you. And they care the most about their appearance. So the fact he would rather you cut it then a barber says a lot about his relationship with you. Beautiful.

    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.👍👍👍👍

    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.

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.

    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.

    • @defiantintellectual1501
      @defiantintellectual1501 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Word. Especially if your hair grows in different patterns or slow growing in some areas. Cutting heads like that will definitely help you learn your clipper guards, and adjustable lever settings better or you’ll be out here looking defeated. Watching his hair cutting tutorials has taken me from average to above average results cutting me and my son’s hair. My goal is excellence and I will get there learning from this brother.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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! 🎨

    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

    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!
