Hahaha that "Subscribe" brush, very smooth
It may make future cameo appearances 😂
It’s gonna be the break out character of this channel.
The brush was genius!
I've stopped scalping myself since watching your tutorials. Thanks for the clear instructions
Michael, I wish your hair grew faster for more awesome tutorials. Keep it up!
Thank you Michael for the tips! I will try the down method to thin out the sides. Looking forward to your next CUT YOUR OWN HAIR tutorial video!
I used the clippers in the link & your method taught here…worked great! Thanks so much! Cheers!
You're welcome! I am glad to hear it helped
Thanks Michael! you saved me from a lifelong problem of mushroom bulge on the sides! P.S. I tried the vertical cut (up and down) with scissors instead of a clipper, scissors worked too!
Got to say again brilliant video mate you really do make things completely clear and straight forward
Love this guy! It's like Ewen Mcgregor's older Brother teaching you how to trim your bonce:)
Older and more handsome brother!_
I watched your video before cutting my hair last time. The method you showed really worked for me I liked the video last time and found it again to say thanks and sub.
Thanks so much 😁
@@theoneminutebarber No problem, thank you.
Looks good, I've only done the up on myself but with no guard, it's not perfect but I've gotten plenty of compliments.
I haven't had the balls to try it on someone else.
Ive been watching all your videos and went for a Thomas Shelby cut. At first i almost gave up and just thought that i wont mess it up any more. Then I just went for it and it came out pretty ok, not a disaster. Im having trouble leaving too big of a Gap between the back of my hair and the top so it kinda looks like a bowl cut
You'll get better every time Luukas
The brush got me😂
uffff hermanAZOOOO, uffff uffffffffffffffffffffff el dinero que me va ahorrar esto en la vida. Bro ya lo aplique como dijiste y se ve muy bien!!! me falta comprar la maquina pequeña para los detalles.
No te imaginas lo que he sufrido con los barberos inmigrantes, no es por ofender, pero uy no... le hacen a uno unos cortes muy feos, y los barberos locales subieron sus precios por las nubes para un corte y como ofrecen cerveza mientras te arreglan lo llaman experiencia... me da una rabia jajajaja
My wife watched his video and quickly had the confidence to cut my hair for the first time his morning. We’re both very pleased
Thanks
Great job!
Awesome Michael you are the best!
You're the best!
Great video! Thanks!
nice work !
Thank you! Cheers!
nice play with that brush! lol.
😁👀I should really get it tattooed on my hand.
Thanks bruhhh ☺️
Any time thank you
I tried but it's quite hard doing it in the mirror with 2 mirrors. There was to obvious of a seperation and i need to practice on keeping things straight. Went to the barber eventually to fix it up, but will try again in a month or 2!
Even I struggle using two mirrors. At least you tried and are willing to try again.
Love the videos man, I’ve recently got into doing self cuts to save some money, I bought a really cheap clipper but it has no lever!! Could you make a video explaining different haircuts you can do with no lever involvement.
The lever is only useful for fades and tapers. Otherwise you don't need it.
Thank you , for the tips...
thanks michael, once im back from europe im gonna try this.
would u say this is a sustainable method to keep ur hair good looking and never need a haircut?
(my hair is fine even when its big, its just the sides that make it look bad so if i can learn to cut the sides myself ill hopefully never need to go to a barber)
It’s the method I use on myself pretty much all the time. So yeah you could use it permanently. The barber will make the best job though.
He's scrummy!!
Hey Michael. If I would do the same method with a shorter guard how would I proceed? For example a 0.5 guard? Go up with the 0.5 and then also down with the same guard?
You can go up with the half, but always use the #2 coming down
You kinda started with a past faded cut, things blended well. I now have shaggy thick hair all over will this work on the sides too?
It should work but you can always take the length down first with a longer number
Had to laugh when I saw the hair brush. Clever ploy.
Michael you lovely man, I have watched many of your vids finding them informative, instructive, edifying and entertaining aided by them and assisted by mirrors I have perfected my technique greatly improving my method of self-hair cutting which I started in the first COVID lockdown. All I need now are instructions on how to trim my pubic hairs into the shape of a ❤ Thanks for being there. 😀
Thanks Leslie. Although I can't help you with the love heart 💗😂 Id lose all my subscribers immediately if I put that video out 😂😂😂 there is some things that can't be unseen once they've been seen.
@@theoneminutebarber You are so right about things once seen and oh the things my eyes have seen that haunt. So improvision will be key in creating my ❤
Will you show us how to do a self fade? Cheers
Hey Tony, I've got just the video. th-cam.com/video/SOLwyx_uJ_c/w-d-xo.html
your the best
Thank you Evelyn 😊
nice❤❤
I love your videos man ❤️😎,
Usually i used guard no 2 sometimes no 1 as well on the side, and for the top i used no 3 guard. And without guard to clean the rest / bottom of the hair.
Thanks for the videos Michael. Can you do the same technique with a grade 3 rather than a 2? 🏴💪🏻👍😁
Yes you can
@@theoneminutebarber nice one, thanks 👍😁
Hello, at 4:21 when doing the down method, is there a point where its possible to start higher than we should?
You only want to catch the heavy stuff at the side
@@theoneminutebarber Thank you very much! a bit intimidated to cut it for the first time
@@theoneminutebarber altough your tutoirials are the only ones on youtube that made me want to do it
I've got somewhat longer hair, probably about 8 inches or so, not quite shoulder length but getting there. Does your clipper technique for the top of the head still work for hair at this length? Or should I first trim it in order to use this technique?
This technique will take most of the hair away if it's that length. Unless you want it as short as mine is you'd be best to go to the barber.
For the down method are we cutting the back of our hair with it or leaving it?
Avoid the crown 👑 the rest of the hair is fair game.
Awesome video.
If you don’t mind ,can you tell me why is the corners of the blade of the clippers about 1/6 thick on both sides?
Do you mean the Guard? Often they are larger than the blade and cutting depth so they can encase the moving parts. This is particularly useful when you are home haircutting as it keeps the soft skin on the back of the ear protected.
@@theoneminutebarber thanks for for the fast response but to clarify my question a bit better…I meant the actual metal blade that comes attached to the clippers , if you notice that on ether sides of the end of the face blade of the clipper ,on the right end and the left end it has both ends with a wider tooth on both sides , so it has me curious as to why those end tooth are wider then the rest of all the rest of the teeth.
I hope I explain myself better this time. Let me know when you get a chance if you understood me.
Take care.
Cool I understand the question now. The top blade is the moving one and will cut through skin if it goes beyond the boundaries of the bottom blade. The hair feeds into the bottom blade but only when it is in far enough does the top blade cut it. The wider metal at the sides is where you reach the maximum width of the top blades cutting action. So because it must stay within the boundary of the bottom blade there is no point in having collector teeth all the way to the edge of the bottom blade.
@@theoneminutebarber ahhh kool, thanks a lot bro, for a minute had me thinking it had a purpose as to the cutting affects of the haircut but yeah, now that you explained, it does make lots of sense.
Thanks again.
I have a problem with my mind ! i ve subscribed i like to cut my thoughts.
Where do you buy them subscribed brushes
This is a jack and dean boar bristle brush. But I added a subscribe sticker to it
When do you say that you use the trimmer Number 2 which length of cut is it? 5 mm?
6mm
@@theoneminutebarber Thank you!
please i hope this helps i ll be cutting my sides and back tomorrow btw can i use any other number like #!
and can you say how should i blend starting from which position from sides and back?
1 more thing how can i find the curve thing on the head when going up and make it equal?
And finally for the back i shouldn't go too much up right? And is the blending method needed for back?
The best thing to do is look for the bit where the head sticks out the most. This is where you should try and glide off the head. Also you can use any number. I like to start at the bottom and work my way up
@@theoneminutebarber so should the sides and the back be the same size like when going up when cutting
And should the back should be blended as well using the down method?
Exactly that
@@theoneminutebarber Thanks man today I am going to cut my own hair, first time though I'll try wish me luck
And 1 more question for the down method we should only use #2 right?
And it'll blend with any number which is used by the up method?
@@theoneminutebarberhey i cut my hair like 2 times but i think it came out decent enough
I want to ask you something when cutting the back is the down method needed? Or
👍.
I like Ur job but i saw it before in urs movies ;) mby new haircut ? (I use close technic to cut and u arę my motiwation )
Thank you Gregory 😁
@@theoneminutebarber what about Ur balding i git Hashimoto and i wilk fallow It after u but still have
I'm so sorry to hear about the hashimoto. Balding is something I'm kind of struggling with as I'm in between hair and no hair, so it doesn't style very easily now.
@@theoneminutebarber knew this pain but i will know more
2:47 is that the direction your fringe naturally grows in or does it grow the other direction?
My fringe has a natural drift from left to right.
@@theoneminutebarber your left or my left?
😁 my left to right.
Where do you buy the handheld mirror that you use?
Hey Charlie you can get them on Amazon
@@theoneminutebarber I looked but couldn't see one like the one you use.
amzn.to/3aqBDcY
👍🤩🔥🔥🔥
Can you do this with scissors ?
It would be extremely difficult. Probably not. I definitely couldn’t
I tried it and i failed it's just me and the mirror I am not used to being an inverted like when you move your clippers up it's actually going down in the mirror it's just confusing the hell out of my brain so I guess I'm stuck paying $50 for a haircut every week
At least you tried. I also struggle with the mirror
Im challenge you
What's the challenge?
you have a lot of beard
