DIY Haircut for Men: How to cut your own hair at home. This is my FIRST time cutting my own hair. If I can do it, so can you! Subscribe Here: / @doctormikediatte #theninjamd #doctormike #drmike
This is like entering the world of the unknown... The one place you would never have dreamt of venturing into had it not been for the pandemic! The things we have had to do...and you were very brave attempting a haircut on yourself!
It is not perfect, but for a first timer I'll give you a solid 8. I watch your video because I plan to buy my own hair clipper and cut my hair myself. I enjoy your video.
Solid 9, I did the same on my DIY except my wahl clippers came with instructions to go the other way. Start at the bottom with lower attachments and work up. I have cut my hair 3 times now and have to say I think the 1st cut was the best lol great video, stay safe out there.
It looks good! I've been doing my own for a few weeks now started with a four built my confidence. Went down to a 1.5 this week think its the sweet spot without being too risky.
Gotta love the confidence! Lol the barber terms... “natural part”, “baseline trim”.... very detailed step by step. Rating: 7/8, due to patchiness at the nape & sides. Otherwise, good job!!!
I had a friend who is not a barber, and I ask him to cut my hair, last sunday. Next time, it should be better. May be I should try myself and see I successful I could be! Excellent video!
I've been cutting my own hair now since the COVID started, some cuts are better than others, though my hair trimmers are not the best, and I've ordered some better one. Just waiting now for my hair to need another cut so I can try them out. I hope I won't need to pay for a haircut again.
I thought you did a great job ... with much more confidence than I'd have. I just got clippers and you'd think I was handling TNT lol I've watched a ton of haircutting videos but I really like the way you did this. I outgrew my fear of making a mistake with scissors... clipper fear is a whole new ballgame lol but I plan to conquer it. Loved it :o)
You inspired me this afternoon! I will start for the second time ,because the first time my head looked more like a battlefield :)) !, pray for me! Thank you for posting your video, it inspires the courage to get started! better late than never!
My two 20 year old daughters cut hair today with are dog grooming klippers & couldn't believe the outcome, neither have any hairdressing skills but if very tempted to by a cordless klipper set. 8/10 by the way on your effort👍
Cool. Looks good enough to me. I'd give you a 5. Gonna give it a shot myself I think. Locked down anyway coz of health issues so got nothing to lose... I suppose 😰! Thanks for the demo 👍
Great job Doc..the GFI outlet is for your protection while around the sink using an electric appliance. ... when you wet your hair the clippers may have tripped the breaker due to moisture seeping in the motor area...WHAL does not recommend wetting your hair using their clippers....thanks for the video.
This fading is the most hardest part and most prone to messing up. I cut all the sides and back with 4. This way we can simply fade near top of the head
Thanks Mike. I have been watching haircut videos. Your haircut is easy enough to do. I shouldn't have shaved my head. Oh well it grows fast. Keep up the videos. I know another dr mike.
Yes you should have stopped at No 2. Beginners are best to stick with classic No 2 taper. This is my second self haircut. Yesterday i went slightly too high but it looks reasonable. I had much worse disasters from barbers. Practice, take your time and follow careful planned out steps.
You did great! I had to do my 73 yr old brother's hair, I was so nervous and guess what it came out looking quite dapper. I am looking for some Wahl clippers, what would you recommend, I used some old Conaire and it was ok. Thanks Dear and stay safe
I just finished doing mine with a 6 my son left with his Wahl. I can't stop laugh/crying. Hilarious. I am 70 and am recovering from diabetic alopecia and a lot of pink is showing but I feel so free. I really hate product on mine because it flattens it. A hat is going to be needed (to match my mask?) for a few days.
Good job...it looks pretty damn good -- sort of like going to HairCuttery. I bought my own clippers todays and will try to learn from your video. Thanks.
Snap..we have the same clippers, they are very good and the colour coated guards really help. I would recommend buying a thinning scissors to complete your set up. I'm 2 self haircuts into it and have learned from my mistakes and looking forward to number 3 in a week or 2. Barber shop fades are beyond me. I'm going to study the top scissors cut on RU-vid somemore as that and the transition to the sides and back based on your head shape and type of hair is where the difficulty lies. Respect to all professional barbers out there🙏🤧😷😎
@@DoctorMikeDiatte Well, it takes a couple of days to adjust to the new look, but after that I've come to like it a lot. It's very convenient and I actually love the way it looks now. I think it will be my new normal haircut.
It is not bad. I would have stopped at 2 also. You can always wear a hat! I just ordered my wahl clippers from amazon and looking forward to my first time cutting my own hair. Probably try cutting my kids hair first hahaha!
Excellent. Brave man. And, yes you probably should have stopped at 3 or 2. So, now that you've done quite a few cuts, do you have an update? And did you like the Wahl Color coded system?
BTW good job. Well done for first time. 8 for the extra spotty ness when you tried to go close. It'll grow out and look fine in a week. Live and learn. Question: Are the scissors barber shop sharp? Or just regular scissors?
First of all...thank you so much for being on the front lines right now. Second, you didn't do as badly as my first time. If you would have played with the corners of your clippers and been a little more patient with the fade, you would have gotten it.
Hey I appreciate it! It’s an honor to be taking care of patients. Haha that’s what some people have been saying! Playing with the corners is a good suggestion! I’ll try that out
This is literally what I did soon as I went from 2 to 1 it went wrong stick to 2 that's what I'm gonna do I'm cutting mine again in this lockdown next week
On your first try, stick to the larger guards. Take baby steps. After you wash it and come back tomorrow you can make adjustments. I'd give you a good 8.
Haircut looked great! Just curious, when the power went out was it that one specific outlet? I ask since the overhead light appeared to stay on and I'm weird that way 😉
thedoneeye haha thanks! Man it was all the outlets in the bathroom, but the lights still worked. I have no idea how everything is wired lol thankfully they are all working since I reset the outlet
