I've been cutting my own hair for a few years now with mixed results, watching tutorials and trying to improve from time to time. But this is the first video that really clicked it for me and the results has gotten much better since. This technique is really easy and foolproof. Thanks for a brilliant tutorial, you've made a lot of people happier!

@thatguy3213 Месяц назад

I just use a number 12 guard i got from amazon works fine, number 12 leaves enough hair to comb hair back compared to a number 10 which leaves my hair spikey 😂😂😂

@JR-vr6ri Месяц назад

@@thatguy3213can I ask what mm is your 12 guard you normally use?

@thatguy3213 Месяц назад

@@JR-vr6ri yes, the 12 guard is 38 mm I first bought the number 10 guard to test which is 32 mm but it left my hair spikey after I took a shower since hair was still short, but with the 12 guard it left just enough length where I could comb it back without it sticking up 😂👍

@Melkor3001 3 года назад

Dude, I've been cutting my own hair during lockdown with increasingly distasterous results AND whilst following RU-vid tutorials! I've just used your method to blend the top with the sides and some sort of magic happened and it now looks like a half decent haircut 5 mins later. Genius dude! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'll venture out tomorrow without wearing my cap😂

@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад

That's brilliant Melkor. I love a success story 😁😁😁🙌

@Takoon 7 дней назад

Super helpful. I've gotten confident about cutting the sides and back, but couldn't figure out how to cut the top or upper sides without a lot of stress and time. Thanks for saving me time, money, and stress!

@TLA256 3 года назад

Absolutely what I was looking for! So many videos on RU-vid are overly complicated. I truly appreciate you showing us your methods. Thanks a million!! 👍🏻👍🏻

@pmiller9203 3 года назад

I graduated from honest to God barber college & cut hair for several years and never knew about this! As soon as I finished watching your video, I used my old Oster clippers and attachment and gave myself a hair cut. this IS the easiest way to cut your own hair and foolproof (unless you are a HUGE fool and had way to much to drink!) Fantastic video!!

@danielwright9003 3 года назад

Wow. Works very well indeed. I've tried a few times to cut my own hair over the last year with limited success. Despite being a bit apprehensive about using the clipper this way, this method is by far the easiest with the best results. Got my wife to finish the back edges, and around the ears. Thank you very much - appreciated!

@leroyybrown Год назад

I’ve learnt such a lot with this video, more than any other self cut on RU-vid. Firstly to keep the blades in the closed position as they cut better, the video is must watch based solely on this piece of advice. Next your blending technique using the different guards in different directions while respecting the skull shape. Thanks for this.

That's great to hear. I'm glad this has been a big help to you. It can be done. All I'd say is and I'm sure you know this anyway. Even if you are getting good at cutting your barber will produce the highest standards for you as they can cut without mirrors and generally have all the tools.

I bought myself a hair clipper set for Christmas and gave myself first haircut today using your clear, concise, informative and entertaining instructional video. I learned a lot and felt confident. My first haircut, I'd rate myself an 8.5/10...with practice it'll get better! Thanks mate couldn't have done it without you ✌️ PS. as a woman with a longer hairstyle, I used an 8 on top, 7 on the side, 6 on neck taper. Fantastic results with your "cut with the natural direction" method.

My hair was a Covid mess. Long and uneven as hell and bushy. Following your instruction I combed it down all over an then just whacked it with the 9mm on top and all around, just working downward. It looked great in 5 minutes after some work with the 6mm as you suggested. Very pleased, very easy and I'm confident to try it again. It looks a lot better than I'd dared to hope. Thank you.

@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад

That's great to hear Dustin. Thank you 😁

@dustinperryman149 3 года назад

@@theoneminutebarber I wanted to ask a potentially dumb question...so I’m wanting the top of my hair to grow out more. Would it be best to just do the sides and top side blend and skip the top or continue doing as shown so it refrains from being too bulky? If that makes sense

@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад

Just leave the top Dustin. When it comes to hair there isn't really any rules as to what is correct. By all means keep the sides neat and let the top get some length. My most recent video was the first time I'd cut the top in three haircuts.

@isaacclarke4176 2 года назад

I've started doing 2 months ago self haircuts. Always wondered how to cut the top, and the sides, and blend the side fade. This is insane technique really! So easy , and simple , and it just works! The only thing I need to practice is behind. Even with mirrors I can't make it good. I mean I did, but I need time really, while side fades and top I do fast, especially after this tutorial! Thanks a lot man!

Great video Michael! After I saw this video, I cleaned up my haircut I did a couple of weeks ago, the sides and top look great now. I used a #4 on the top and a #3 on the sides. I have a question on tying together this video and the last video from July 6th on cutting the sides. If I begin by cutting the sides using the bottom up from the last video and finish with the top down method from this video, are there any pitfalls or tips you have? Thanks!!

@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад

Thanks Bob, I wouldn't say there are any pitfalls. Using the two methods together will give you a more polished result.

@johnsparkman2007 3 года назад

Hi Michael..love love love your videos. Would like to see a video on finishing off the back of your head..ie: for those of us who wear our hair a bit longer? How to get that nice straight line across the back of the head, and around the ears etc. I'm having small problems in this area and need advice from a pro like yourself! You rock Michael! 👍

@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад

John I'm making a video on this subject. Generally I'd avoid a neck line and go for a tapered finish. A taper gives a cleaner regrowth. The neckline looks great too but as the neck hair regrows the clean finish is messy qicker.
