I've been using clippers to cut my hair short since 2009. The hardest part for me is the back. I tried using those mirrors you hang on back of door, but I must have directional issues because when I'm supposed to go one way, my hand goes in opposite direction. It's laughable so I do it by feel and pray.
I've just done it. So quick and easy. I'm not a perfectionist and I did nearly scream when I put the clippers through the hair on the top cos it looked like loads was coming off but I persevered and it actually looks good so thank you for a quick and easy haircut 👍
Thank you for this video. I have a special needs child who have poor head and neck control. I have always been the one to cut her hair and it always gets tangled at the back because she always rests her head. This is very helpful! Can't wait to try it. 😊
I like the technique using only clippers but I wish you had explained more about where you had the side lever set, or what you used as a hair length guide when you moved from doing the back/sides to working on the top. Also wish there were more straight-on views of the sides as you were cutting them instead of watching from behind the head.
Lol saw this and I thought, yes, perfect, this is exactly what I wanted to do, then when I saw the back of the hair before you did the final blend I was like oh God, that's not very blended... then when you went through it at the end with it upside down I was like ohhh 😄
Good to no this can be done im teaching myself as im on a fixed income have to move march 31 so got brand new clippers and sissor cutting kit so i could watch alot of videos
Please make more of these clipper only tutorials, because I don‘t really have the budget to buy new scissors and the ones I have are dull. Only really good for taking of the excess length or my mothers thin hair. But they don‘t go through my thick hair anymore. Luckily I bought myself a semi good clipper set, that I maintain well when I need it every couple of months, so these clipper only tutorials are a dream come true. Really love the tutorial, especially since I don‘t have the money to go to a hairdresser regularly to maintain a short haircut. Amazing trick, I always struggled with the back and having heavy edges because of that "weight-line", and like this will let me get some hair off without making holes 😂
Thank You for this video! I’m a new cosmetologist and did not learn much for haircuts in school. But picked up clipper cuts quickly m. I will definitely use this in the salon.
New viewer here. I've worn the pixie for many years. For someone who has thick coarse hair it's the only style cut I feel looks good on me. I've thought about cutting it myself lol I just might now that I'm seeing this. Love this cut btw!
I have been shaveing my hair for a while now useing no4 but i am having trouble shaving my crown(which my hairdresser told me i have a double crown)could this be the problem or is it me 🙂
I love it what's the haircut called when it's like really short in the back and long in front I wanna learn away to do it myself I think it would be easier for me to do it instead of getting disappointed every time I go to a salon for some reason no one understands short back long front 🤷🏼🤦🏼 I'm a new sub btw love these vids and yes I'm def gonña try the thinning out technique looks easier then scissors
I missed how you cut the top section such that the hairs toward the front of the head and face are longer. You cut a lot of the top hair from the side of the head but our view was from the back of the head.
God no 😮it’s too severe like a bowl cut /skinhead lol 😅I use clippers undercut in a triangle shape downwards to a point to the centre of the nape only - and the top is with razor trimmer and scissors to create the layers and scissors proper for around the ears . That lifts the top more too for that feminine “ lift”.
Nice cut but not really feminine enough. I would’ve added some curls at the top and a sweep bob curl across the forehead with smaller ones in the neck area to give it a bit more of a softer look but this is still a very nice and simple pixie cut.
THANK YOU SO MUCH PAUL!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!❤ I do have another request of you don't mind. I have a client coming into my salon on August 14 wanting a Mohawk. I was there the day this kid was born, Mom is one of my closest friend of 30 + years. I have never done a Mohawk and really, really, really don't want to mess it up. I've got a couple of mannequins lined up to work with prior to that. I like to see several different stylists techniques. THANK YOU!!!😁~APRIL LIPKE
Not bad I like the bangs at the end, but I like mine shorter. I can't stand my hair in my face. The back is a little too short. I don't like seeing a scalp. I can see why you usually use scissors because the clippers make it choppy looking.
I believe it means, that you take a strand of hair and stretch it away from the direction you want it to fall. So if, for example, you cut curtain bangs you take the left strand and stretch it to the right side, across your face, so if you then cut it parallel/straight, it will fall in layers. It‘s hard to explain in text, but thats what I learned from a curtain bang tutorial. Should look these up for reference since they normally always use „over-direction“ for the main cut. PS.: with „stretching“ the strands, I mean taking the strands between your fingers and pulling them to cut, like you do when cutting hair. Don‘t know what words to use otherwise😂
Becareful.. I have fine thin hair and went for a new haircut and she suggested a Pixie. Biggest mistake of my life! Worst haircut ever. Now I need a wig.
I have to disagree this is one of the best haircuts I’ve seen. No one seems to know how to stack a pixie without chopping it all to heck. He did an awesome job.

This is exactly how I self cut my pixies ❤
Going to try this tonight to get some texture added to my hair. I’m a little nervous but it’s just hair.
Thank you for the tip to move bulk around the hair. I cut my own hair and didn’t know what to do, now my hair looks smoother in the back.
Thank you for this video. I have a special needs child who have poor head and neck control. I have always been the one to cut her hair and it always gets tangled at the back because she always rests her head. This is very helpful! Can't wait to try it. 😊
I feel you. I'm also here with the same reason as yours. ❤
Best pixie I've ever seen!
I’m coming from Life of hair and both of you are amazing.
Hi Amal, thank you so much. It's a pleasure to have you here.

I really love it and try to cit that technique ❤❤
I have clippers I'll try this thanks again Paul love it
Great stuff, I can't wait to see the result
@@PaulWattsHair but busy at the moment but will try this when I have time
How exactly do the clippers work what # do I use, is it the lower the # the shorter thing cut or what
Yes the lower the guard number the shorter it will cut
Lol saw this and I thought, yes, perfect, this is exactly what I wanted to do, then when I saw the back of the hair before you did the final blend I was like oh God, that's not very blended... then when you went through it at the end with it upside down I was like ohhh 😄
Omg wow I can't wait to try that out!!!
Any pointers on doing it myself?
Good to no this can be done im teaching myself as im on a fixed income have to move march 31 so got brand new clippers and sissor cutting kit so i could watch alot of videos

Do you have a video for wolf haircut using trimmer
Love it!!! I’m gonna try it for myself and my son.
Very pretty I’m trying this on my next Caucasian hair cut
I want that haircut for me.
I'm digging the pointy bangs.
I want those bangs, except shorter and I want it to end in between the top of my eyebrows.
I just fancied doing done thing a bit different. But yes the bangs are nice. I liked the wearability of it.
That’s a really nice cut!
Thank You for this video! I’m a new cosmetologist and did not learn much for haircuts in school. But picked up clipper cuts quickly m. I will definitely use this in the salon.
Awesome cut!
I see different ways to hold clipper. Can u explain why some go up skull and some go down
Looks really nice Paul. Xx

Way retired hairstylist but had to say, I so wish I had these tutorials 40 years ago. That is so freakin cool....cheers Paul (from Canada)
Great video!!! I am dying to do this.
Can you show a diy transition going from a medium shag to a short bob/pixie. More on the feminine side. Please.
I have been shaveing my hair for a while now useing no4 but i am having trouble shaving my crown(which my hairdresser told me i have a double crown)could this be the problem or is it me 🙂
Love it
Is that #3guide or #2
Its best to cut the long hairr from long to short hairstyles instead of go straight to short hair!
Then we can view different hairstyles!
Great video. I'm gonna give it a go literally in 5 minutes. If it goes wrong.... it goes wrong.😂
Badass! ❤
Next tim ill try just clippers pixie
Hi,can you do the haircut of juatina xie?
I love it what's the haircut called when it's like really short in the back and long in front I wanna learn away to do it myself I think it would be easier for me to do it instead of getting disappointed every time I go to a salon for some reason no one understands short back long front 🤷🏼🤦🏼 I'm a new sub btw love these vids and yes I'm def gonña try the thinning out technique looks easier then scissors

But how do i do this on my own head?
God no 😮it’s too severe like a bowl cut /skinhead lol 😅I use clippers undercut in a triangle shape downwards to a point to the centre of the nape only - and the top is with razor trimmer and scissors to create the layers and scissors proper for around the ears . That lifts the top more too for that feminine “ lift”.
Eeeeeee!
New video from the Sexy Beast.
😂😂😂 Thanks St Mark. Hope you're well

Perfect but getting someone near me to do this cut is impossible. No one in this town knows what the hell they're doing. It's like I live in Bedrock.
Thats why you need to learn to do it yourself :-)
I've heard the term "over-direct" a hundred times. Still no clue what it means. 🤷🏼
I believe it means, that you take a strand of hair and stretch it away from the direction you want it to fall.
So if, for example, you cut curtain bangs you take the left strand and stretch it to the right side, across your face, so if you then cut it parallel/straight, it will fall in layers.

Hi Paul how's your back
Hi Toni, some progress is being made, but still sore
Cut pixie bangs
👍
🖐🏼🙂
Oh gosh nooo
Becareful.. I have fine thin hair and went for a new haircut and she suggested a Pixie. Biggest mistake of my life! Worst haircut ever. Now I need a wig.
Fine hair is def not ideal for pixie. Layers bob or A line bobs are very pretty on fine hair
There is no name for this haircut. Sucks
That is one of the worse haircuts that I have ever seen Yes I am a licensed hairdresser
License to judge 😂😂😂
I have to disagree this is one of the best haircuts I’ve seen. No one seems to know how to stack a pixie without chopping it all to heck. He did an awesome job.
Not good at all.
You can see through the hair to the "skin" at the back of this cut.
I wouldn't use you 👎
