How to Cut the Sides of Your Own Hair | The Up and Down Method 

It may make future cameo appearances 😂

It’s gonna be the break out character of this channel.

You're welcome! I am glad to hear it helped

You're the best!

Thanks so much 😁

@@theoneminutebarber No problem, thank you.

You'll get better every time Luukas

Older and more handsome brother!_

Thank you! Cheers!

The lever is only useful for fades and tapers. Otherwise you don't need it.

Any time thank you

Thank you Evelyn 😊

You can go up with the half, but always use the #2 coming down

It should work but you can always take the length down first with a longer number

Great job!

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.

Yes you can

@@theoneminutebarber nice one, thanks 👍😁

😁👀I should really get it tattooed on my hand.

Hey Tony, I've got just the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SOLwyx_uJ_c.html

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.

This is a jack and dean boar bristle brush. But I added a subscribe sticker to it

Avoid the crown 👑 the rest of the hair is fair game.

Even I struggle using two mirrors. At least you tried and are willing to try again.

My fringe has a natural drift from left to right.

@@theoneminutebarber your left or my left?

😁 my left to right.

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

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

At least you tried. I also struggle with the mirror

It would be extremely difficult. Probably not. I definitely couldn’t

What's the challenge?

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 ❤
