Ditching my FlowBee and trying out the Wahl Color Pro Hair Clipper kit from Walmart. Used the #8 1" attachment on the top followed by left and right taper attachments on the sides. It does a decent job for a self cut.

This video got me cutting my own hair better then my local spot no lie! I was sleeping on those L & R ear guards damn. Thanks my guy!!!
Those L&R guards are CRUCIAL for beginner cuts and/or for quick maintenance cuts. If you have the time, try to incorporate separate low number guards for best results. Once you master those techniques, you'll notice a HUGE difference in the "professional" look of your coiffe - no lie. If you like to go super low and tight for the summer, those low guards are almost mandatory! See my "articles" above for some tips, bro! Good Luck!
I tried this and it’s probably one of the best simple haircuts I have done all the fading I used to do I just got tired of taking 1 or 2 hours to cut it and now it just takes 30 minutes thank you 🙏🏼
many thanks for your video and i just saved 25 CAD by using my 30 dollars Wahl to get a haircut. It's a life saving video cheers!
Wahl should give you money. I had no idea how the taper attachment worked. Your damn luck to have such thick hair.
Absolutely. TH-camrs make brand deals with videos containing way less value than this one. Great job.
As a local teen barber I have been trying to learn how to taper fade because all I've done in the past is lineups and trims but this video is gonna have me doing sm more thanks so much!
I've been cutting my hair for OVER 10 years! Saved a TON of money, and except for a $125 stylist I had when I turned 21, it looks BETTER than any barber or stylist has ever cut it, w FEW exceptions.
Today, I found an 8-pk set of blue "Andi" guide combs at Petsmart, for $20-sum'n. It contains their #10 on down to the no. 1/2 (I believe). It's for use with their Andi clippers - the brand they use for pet grooming. I've found them to be almost a direct fit for the full-size Wahl electric and/or rechargeable clippers. They're blue and have a spring-loaded clip for a tighter fit on the clippers, which I like. Also, they have SEVEN blades as opposed to the Wahls 4-5 so there's a LOT less chance of getting those short "mistake-buzz" area the video maker was talking about. I'd like to've seen the Wahl set to include the #10 AND #12 comb guides as most guys like to keep the tops of their hair longer. I know in the military (and in jail) the barber I used went with a #10 on top, and either a #6 on the sides and back, down to a #4 in the summer. Actually, in the military we're allowed to have up to 2" MAX. up top so a #12 would suffice for a bi-weekly DIY maintenance, maybe longer if you're under-way as I was w the Navy.
Nowadays, (I'm 59) I've been going with an #8 up to the middle of the top, then guess cutting the front, using my fingers for guides (like a real barber), then #7 or #6 for the back of the top, down to a #5 blended into a #4 on the back right under the rear cow-lick, or straight into the #3, then #2 horizontally even with my temples, and finally #1 for over the ears - although I've been doing #2 for a LOT of the back and sides down to #1, then even lower for a real "tight and neat" look around the ears, "side-burn" areas and nape of the neck. Easy, peasy, and I've been getting a LOT more looks from a LOT more and LOT younger gals. Also, I didn't dye it, and went with a slightly lighter shade with my last dye job in early spring, which I outgrew. The gray and white nubs look tight especially with tightly groomed facial hair - sort of a 5-o'clock shadow look which I achieve w either a #1 or 1/2 or just the clippers in the UP position.
I have thin very "silky", brown/gray, straight to slightly wavy hair which takes forever to grow and I have weird balding and whiter/grayer areas around both sides of my head. I use Nioxin shampoo which actually works to keep it full of body, and keeps the hair I have, maybe even grow a little more. Also, I go w natural nitrate-free, phosphate-free products which contain as much Biotin and Panthenol, as well as any other natural seed oils, green tea tree, or aloe, etc as possible. No conditioner since my hair is too thin and kinda oily already. I used to go a few days between full shampoo washes, but found out that I was actually doing MY type of hair more damage than good, so now I don't go any longer than two days between shampooing. I rinse it fully, daily, in-between washes, too. I've found every other day to be best for me, although I used to do daily a lot in past summers, because I would do a LOT of work during the day, and I'd sweat a lot, then go to the beach, daily, as well as be outside in the sun, all day. I had to incorporate a decent (expensive was best - I like Nioxin best) of conditioner with my shampoo.
No gel or mouse, or anything heavy or too sticky (except for bed-head) Currently I'm using Bed-Head's "Salty Not Sorry" pre blow-dry spray which works great w a 30sec. med.heat blow-by-dry. This technique is a MUST for volume or a "thicker" or "fuller" look and it also slightly color-lightens my hair (even added some light-red and blonde high-lights, here and there) for that summery surfer or outdoorsman look, and/or beach-texture. I discovered this during our recent vacation and loved it, and so did my gal! We were fighting over my hair products - LOL!
Recently, I tried monoxidil and didn't really notice anything different, probably 'cause I wasn't using the Nioxin w it. I've used Nioxing, faithfully in the past, and with a good diet, and healthy life-style I noticed a BIG difference, and actually saw new hair grow over my baseball-cap bald-spot in the back of my head. My sister who used to cut my hair noticed it, too, and asked me what I was doing so she could tell her clients! Now, YOU KNOW!
This is a great tutorial right to the point, I looks easy because you have experience cutting your own hair and also have a great hair too,
I'm going to try it on myself
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks John for this ... simply explained without too much patter. Hope you're happy with Wahl.
thank you so much for this video! i was cutting my hair for awhile now and today i learned how to use the right and left taper attachment! 😂
Was doubtful about using these ear taper guards, but your video really helped me, it looks great
Good job! With a cheap pair of clippers,looks as good as a professional barber.
When I was in my early 20s I got tired of high prices and never cutting it the same each time,so I started cutting my own,now 67 still doing it,but I use a vacuum hair cutter similar to Robo cut
Me too, I use a Flobee. I have kids now, one likes not to get a haircut so, the hair is too long for the Bee. I too bought the Color Pro, good luck to me this gent made it easy. I'm only 61. 😊
Thank you, brother! Excellent tutorial and I will start cutting my own hair with all these rising prices!! Great job 👏🏼
hi，nice to meet u.I am inventing a smart hair clipper, are u interested in talking with me?
Almost the first usefull video i have seen. I was looking for a video with this machine. The extra for me was that you show details what is important for my choice. I hope with an order i will be glad for the next haircuts. Thanks for this video. 👍🙂
You are welcome!
YO BRO IT'S REALLY A GOOD PRODUCT AND COLOR COORDINATED MAKES IT EASY ‼️
I was going to give up on my self-cut but found your video, and for the first time I like my result, thanks John!
In CA haircut cost $30 plus time, waiting in lines, etc, insane
Glad I could help!
BEST TUTORIAL I REALLY ENJOYED IT ❤ THANKS MR JOHN
That's a good, simple haircut. Thanks for the vid. Haven't used my left and right taper guards yet but will try on my next cut.
It's pretty easy, the trickier part is then blending the line above the taper but you should figure it out after a couple of tries.
You made that look easy. Nice
Looks good. I’m going to have to try this!
I used a number 8 and it looks way shorter on top than yours
You are using the tapers not only on the side,. but also at the full back of the neck, horizontally,... thats interesting
I use the left and right guards all the time. Even for a flat top
Very informative video!! 👏 My very first and last time I did this I went front to back 😂😂😤 and never again. Will try this again 😅
This is great video! Thank you for sharing!
great handsome man David in Wales
Tapered attachment 👌👍
Been trying to find a video that shows an easy way to give yourself a taper cut and your video explains everything nicely. Haircut came out really great. I will grow my hair out and try this!
This bro is a Pro version 😂 im inspired 😊
Nice job man. Just started cutting my own hair too.
Dharr Mann?
Thanks for Uploading.
I do the same haircut with those same guards lol good stuff saves a lot of money
Now, I can open my barber shop 🎉🎉🎉
Flowbee and clippers are the best combination but only clippers are good,too.I love the ear taper guards.
They had this clipper for 20€ with that trimmer here in Germany last week.
Looking good 😍
Nice Music , im gonna try that hair cut style
Thank you for simplifying what I thought was a mystical process! .... You look really sad at the end though, it hurt my heart 🥺
It’s a terrible practice to go around telling people they look sad. If they’re legitimately sad, maybe they will consider what you said? But I doubt it. But If they’re not sad at all, you just implied upon a persons emotions, that you have no understanding of, nor an understanding of their mental stability. Choose your words.
To the man that created this video, I have to let you know. I’ve been cutting my own hair for over 15 years, and you taught me a couple things in this video. Thank you so much! Your hair looks great. My hair cuts will definitely get better because of this video. 🎉❤
I'm happy 😀
@@JEK hell yeah! I just couldn’t handle the dumb bitch with the attitude lmao. Some people have no consideration. And I just had to point my finger at her. Thanks for the haircut tips my guy! I still think of this video specifically when im cutting my hair.
Man just saved my life 😂
Thanks for the tutorial! You kind of look like Harry Hamlin (compliment).
Came across your video a day late, RIP my hair
GREAT JOB I HAVE THE SAME WAHL CLIPPER I LOVE IT ‼️
I bought the color pro plus, I hear a luod click when it is switched on exactly like in this video clip, is that normal?
loud
YES I HEAR A LOUD 🔊 CLICK TOO IT'S NORMAL,
Not bad. I prefer shorter hair for myself, but you did a nice job.
Finally a simple haircut video. Most of these self cut videos are for people trying to do these fucking complex fades or a portrait of Michael Jordan dunking from the free throw line.
100%
I spent $60 and there is a line behind my head! I rather do it myself. But this is too short for me. Anyway, good job! 👏
The 8 guard is perfect short hair length without looking like a buzz.
Great job, looks good!
Not bad. And saved $25 bucks.
$30 already for me 😊
Thank you for the video I can now cut my son's hair
thanks!
Thank you🎉
You get such good results. I always watch this one your shorter video where use the taper guards. I never can get the good taper that you get though. Any advise to get a smoother taper? Thank you for your videos.
Super video 👍
Nice video, thanks
Great video, thanks for thr tips on how to use it 👌
Nice came out nice . ima get em for $30 i've been using my beard trimmer with no lever just the guards. its time for something more appropriate to get the fade & get the blend in good now.
good luck
Looks good 👍🏻.
İ use powertec hairclipper. After this video i will choose wahl

Struggling to remove the guards. What Is the easy technique?
This doesn't look too hard. I'm trying to figure out how to give my son a fade. I usually just use a 3 all over his head but he wants something different
OK I just got done cutting his hair and it looks amazing! Thanks so much for the instructions ❤️
that's so cool!
Could you take one of these taper attachments to go straight across the back of the head..like a line..to give a nice start to a fade
No, the taper attachments really aren’t good, they’re like training wheels. Look up “Andrew cuts” here on TH-cam, he gives good tutorials on how to fade.
John - Thanks for the helpful video. Question if you will - your hair is standing up which probably makes for a better cut because it holds your hair where the clippers can reach it with the 1" guard. Did you do that intentionally do that for the hair cut and did you use a product to hold it up?
2:38
So did you just use the L and R taper on the back too, just starting in the middle and going left or right with each attachment?
I have that same question
He's keeping the shorter fins on the edge of the hairline and going across the neck line like that
I see from your after pic you also took a little off your nose lol Great video
Man, I WISH I had a head of hair as THICK as this guy's! Sheesh, you can do anything you want to that healthy crop of follicles! Bravo, sir, BRAVO! (Ya fcker!) I have very thin, or as my son calls it - "SILKY", slightly wavy, graying, weirdly-balding hair. Please read my big-ass article, below for my regimen for some tips on how I got it to grow better, as well as for styling that type of hair - common for a lot of guys my age - to look and be its best and healthiest.
you used the taper left and right… did you use the taper for the neck line??
Yes.
Thanks for the vid. Was very informative and helpful in letting me see how tapered ear guards actually work. What made you ditch your FlowBee? I am thinking of trying my hand at cutting my own hair and was trying to decide between a Flowbee or just a much cheaper home clipper kit. What do you recommend?
I still use the Flowbee, I just wanted to try a shorter summer cut with the new Wahl clippers I bought.
Thanks this video is exactly what I needed to see, everyone had tutorials on how to fade and use scissors on top but this is the first video I found where the clippers are used on top as well (which I want to do, I dont feel comfortable messing with scissors for my first time).
Just wondering do you know where I could get a number 12 (1.5 inch) guard? I would like to leave a bit more hair on top if possible and online I saw that number 12s exist but I couldnt find where to buy them exactly. Im in the US.
may take a little practice but it's easier after the first time
The same for me, tried scissors, but didn't like result, this is the best and easiest method I found
Clip gang or don’t bang
Nice
Howed you get the back the way you did?
What about your neck from the back, it looks very clean, how did you manage to do that? Razor or clippers and if so what number?
I just used the clippers without a guard.
Thank you!
@@JEK also the purple guard, what number was that?
I have it
Maybe you could give me a haircut sometime. A nice recon style haircut with the back and sides shaved up high and close to the skin.
I see your comments everywhere. Do you have a haircut fetish? 🤣
strange thing.. if i take number 8, i looks like bald, its very short! But in video man like a lion hair after that.....?
He moves the clipper in the opposite direction, so from back to front rather than front to back. It cuts less hair this way.
Yeah that's definitely not a number 8 cut
is the machine really that quite ?
It's pretty quite, hums at a low frequency.
The purple guard.. what number was that?
8

thanks brother. well done
Ratke Summit
Looks good a more easy to do .😊
Hi sir 🙏🙏🇱🇰🇱🇰
Need a comb over dat shit bad
No it's not. It's just messy spikes. Each to their own though.
To me the 8 is a waste of time. As i wind up with a 2 or 1 i start out with a 3 or 4. If your going to cut your hair do something.
looks so good, thanks! :)
What was the fade guard size?
Taper fade 😀?
You did an awesome job and better than a lot of barbers these days. Your video was simple and straight to the point! You just earned your self s subscriber brother !
I bought the same Wahl Clippers, and I did my very first hair cut, yesterday. I did ok for my first time. Thank you for your video!. :)
Hey! Question, when you first did the number 8 all around, did you have lever all the way up or down? And was the lever all the way up or down with the fade taper attachments?
I don't remember exactly but I probably left the lever longer on the top and shorter on the sides.
This is very helpful for giving my buddy a basic taper. I never used those L/R guards but I will use them today! Thanks John!
Thank you. Best video I have seen on own haircuts and my hair looks the great
So for the ear guards you’re able to use these for the back of your head too? Just bought the same kit and watching that part confused me. GREAT video though!!
Yes you can!
After 7 years of using my Philips clippers I've been searching for new ones to buy since a month. I think this video sold me on these wahl color pro. The only confusion i still got is to get cord or cordless.
I did step by step and cut my 4 year old son's hair i was so happy with the results and so was he ❤ i didnt know what the L and R clips were until i saw your video.. thank you!
That is awesome!
The hairdresser can't do better, it was perfect👍
Ben niye böyle kesemiyorum 😢
Look snazzy as heck !! Good use of the L and R guards for the back 🤔 gotta try that
Dach Underpass
Good and simply!
Great stuff , I have had those clippers for like 7 years 0:02 and they are work nicely . I still get a home made fade with a zero !!
