      1 Corinthians 13
      New King James Version
      The Greatest Gift
      13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
      4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
      8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
      11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
      13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

      @Hector Diaz Bro srly I'm done 5 of my last 5 haircuts have been ass, I don't know what to do, Is like all the barbers in my location didn't even watch a video on how to cut hair is that bad, most of them didn't did the side line properly! I just lost faith, if I get a bad haircut instead of getting mad I just think 'another one in my list' that is how frecuent it happens. I think I will get a classic haircut when it grows a little and let it grow for 1 year.

    02:51 - no lie. I've been using that same Walmart mirror for YEARS! I thought I was the only one using it for this purpose. I stand an ironing board up against the bathroom door, then stick the mirror into the metal extension at the end of the ironining board - this allows me to angle the mirror and use the bathroom mirror to see all angles of my head. Hope this helps someone.

    Very well done self fade. Some tips and advice for people new to cutting their own hair, don't try a skin fade until you have learned to blend a bit. And another technique to help blend more evenly is to get your lines established as shown and then use a comb upwards through the bottom of the line, exposing small amounts of hair through the teeth of the comb, then use your clippers against the comb. After using the comb to help cut small even amounts of hair where the lines meet finish off using the guards and upwards flicking motion. I've been doing my own fade haircuts for about 3 years now using many of the same techniques as the video.

By watching videos like these and practice I’v gotten to the point where I’v decided I’m not going back to a barber. My hair looks good enough and I can do a quick clean up when ever I want, I’v learned to really like it.

      Start out simple. It is intimidating as hell, no doubt...But if you don't need a really complex style and just want to cut your own hair so you can stay looking neat and cut it whenever you want, then a buzz is ideal. All the same length all around. Not really much to screw up (Unless you didn't clip the guide on right once and it slipped off and you sheared a big-ass bald square in your head. Which totally never happened to me once. >_>).
      The only part you could mess up with a buzz (providing, again, you make sure the guide is secure

    Thanks for your tips on using the guards with “opened and closed “ settings on the clippers. Today, I cut my own hair and lined my beard and It came out real nice. I have all the essentials tools clippers, shavers etc that you’d normally find at a barbershop. The one thing I did was setup a tripod with a small hand mirror, this way I could fade the back of my head symmetrical. It took me just over an hour, but in the grand schemes of things, I saved $50 plus tip, which is what barbers around the way are charging, plus travel time and gas. I cut my hair once a month, so as far as that goes, that’s a $600 savings a year. Thank you again for uploading the video.

    It's not even about saving money. I travel often and it sucks to find a hairdresser that have skills.

      When cutting your own hair - never cut any portion of your head any shorter than you're willing to take it down all around. That way if you fuck up you can salvage it by just buzzing all around.
      Might not be the style you wanted, but a buzz cut is always preferrable to looking like a goof or buying 3 new hats. =)
      I've tried some more complex self cuts and every once in a while I'll finish, look at the mirror, and realize a goof with a bad haircut is staring back at me. So, just had to do the short buzz and try again next time. =)

    Hey Alex, thanks so much for this video. It’s one of the best self haircut I’ve seen on the internet. Just also wanted to get your thoughts on the Self-Cut three-way mirror system. You just hang the foldable three way mirror on a doorway and it allows you to see so much better angles around your entire head. Also, it frees up your other hand from having to have to hold up a mirror. What do you think?

    Since cutting my own hair and doing my own fade (and saving A LOT of money), I realized that guards 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 are my best buds. Cutting your own hair with a fade takes skill and a lot of time to perfect. While all my friends are getting their haircut before Friday night, I've already cut mine in less than 30 minutes. Give it a try. It's ok to make a mistake the first try and your hair will grow back but eventually you'll be good at it and it becomes "memory". I spent several years going to a barber. While I still go to my favorite barber here and there for special occasions, I cut my own hair for casual days out. Problem is sometimes you get obsessed with cutting your own hair that maybe once a week, you're trimming it often.

How to take out volume and how to cut with shears. Even more of a gentleman's haircuts. Self taught! I recommend this to any one who is good with details, wants to save some money and time waiting in line at the barbers. I didnt come across 360 untill some later years and he helped keep a very clean fade look, but he needs to up his game on the shears

I've been cutting my own hair now (very similar hairstyle as the video) since the pandemic began and I've got it down great. I start with the skin line and then work my way up one guard at a time until it's blended instead of jumping all over the place. I don't move on until the previous guard line is eliminated. Makes it wayyyy easier in my opinion!
