In this video I show you how to cut the top of your own hair by picking it up with your fingers and cutting with the clippers. This is a safer technique for self haircutting than using scissors. A correctly aligned clipper blade will not cut skin. I also show another technique and a blending in technique.

Finally! Someone who knows and shows how to cut a guy's top and crown with only clippers! I was terrified of running the clippers through my top. Thought I'd end up bald. 🥴 Dry cut, back to front, starting with the longest guard then blending the sides down from the top in the direction of the hair growth (not against)...Who knew it was that easy? Awesome tutorial!

This was really helpfull as I was trying to grow the length on top and keeping the sides trimmed. The top was going thick in places but less so in others. Did the number 3 down on top with the number 2 down on the sides with a 2 and a 1 upwards on the sides and looked perfect. Made that untidy grow-out stage a thing of the past

Hey Michael, when you cut the side sections of the top, do you cut those at a bit of an angle, or even with the top?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад
Either way is acceptable. Cutting at an angle should give you a more rounded eventual shape while cutting square across the top gives a more box shape, obviously not a box but squarer on the sides.

You mention a number 3 guard but in your other video you mentioned mm so I think it would be useful to show that no 3 is 10mm; No 4 is 13mm; no.5 is 16mm; No 6 is 19mm; No 7 is 22mm and lastly no 8 is 25mm. These leave the hair longer the larger the size. Clippers seem to arrive some with the guards quoted as numbers and others as milimeters. I hope that solves the confusion. Another great video thank you.

Thanks for all your videos during the Covid times. Quick question... if I was to use a number 3 guard on sides and the back, what number would be best for blending with the top in the inverted position around the parietal ridge? Sometimes using a 3 I feel is a little more forgiving for any mistakes of blending the top so I sometimes shave my sides with a 2 or 3 depending on how I feel I guess. Thanks again!
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
You could probably flip the three over and just use the three again. I think that's what I would do. If your not confident I'd use a 4 to start with. Thanks for watching Adam and good luck. 👍
@TheRedKobra
@TheRedKobra 3 года назад

@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
Linda I would use the first method where you pinch the hair between the fingers, the cowlicks or double crown needs to be cut longer. Extra length will provide weight which will cause it to collapse if it's long enough. The double crown is a bit of a technical challenge. Good luck with it. And happy new year to you too Linda, I hope 2021 is good to you. ❤️🆕🌍

Does it matter where you pick up your initial hair (for reference)? Like how about start with the front instead?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
You can start at the front if you want but because most hair grows forward you can end up picking up hair from the section behind it. My recommendation would be to comb all the hair to one side first which makes it easier to pick up starting at the front.

Yes Christopher it's a zero. I should have said why I was cutting that way as apose to scissors in the video. I've tried cutting the top with scissors myself and pretty much concluded it's a great way to chop into your fingers. It's so dangerous trying to cut with scissors in reverse using mirrors. the clipper is a lot safer.

Sorry maybe I worded my question wrong. I mean't a scissor hair cut on top versus a clipper cut...not safety related more of a barbering question. Some people use a machine all over and some like "Scissors on top ". What is your opinion ? I was always lead to believe a machine cut looks cheap while a scissor cut is more bespoke ...elegant looking ???
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
Yes I agree. A scissor cut is far more versatile. Normally I wouldn't use a clipper guard any longer than a #5. Even then I'm not a huge fan of a #5. It leaves a very uniform finish. If you want hair that flows and styles, scissor cut or razor cut is a better choice. If someone comes in and asks me for a crew cut I always try to overcompensate for the uniform look. So will make neat tapers and if there is straight lines anywhere they will be the cleanest lines I can achieve.

I appreciate you showing the 2 methods. I'm surprised you were using a #3 on the top vs #4: personal preference? I'll have to give the comb method another try. I noticed that your hand wasn't parallel/square to the head when you did the sides but slightly curved, was that correct? I was under the impression you wanted to keep the square going across the top?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
Quite a common method is creating a square shape. However the simplest cut of all time is the uniform layer where you lift at 90° to the scalp at every point of the scalp and cut to the exact same length. Similar to how a clipper gaurd cuts to the same length all over but just using the fingers to extend the length. That said 🙈 I wasn't intentionally doing that. Maybe subconsciously.
@brucewayne2091
@brucewayne2091 3 года назад
@@theoneminutebarber It's funny as most 'cutting the top' videos say "keep the square" but when you watch the position of the fingers, there the same as yours. So level across the top on a line with the nose/crown & then slight curve doing the sides. I'll give it a shot

1. How do we decide which of the 2 methods explained in the video to use to cut the top? What factors should we consider? 2. I was thinking about cutting the top with a number 16 guard (2 inch guard) instead of using the 2 methods you explained. I think that way it would not be too long nor too short, I can cut the hair evenly and it is easy to do. Do you think that would be a good idea instead of using the 2 methods explained in the video? Thank you very much for your help.

@yaguarete79 2 года назад
Hi, I watched your tutorial which I found quite useful, but wanted to ask you something: personally when I cut the top of my head's hair, I comb it sideways, not forward, because when I do it I have 2 problems: if I try to cut backwards then my hair will be very short. If I cut forward almost no hair is removed. So instead I cut it sideways (from left to right for example). Am I doing something wrong or is it that some people's hair grain is different? I mean it could grow on different directions on different people? Another thing to address is something called hair whorl. I have a couple of them and when I use the clipper over that area sometimes hair gets too short which makes the haircut look askew and awful. Do you have any tips for that too?
@yaguarete79
@yaguarete79 2 года назад
Sorry, I also see that hair whorls are also called kallys or cowlicks. I hope I made myself clear as English is not my mother tongue actually so I had to google the term.
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад
I think you are doing the right thing combing your hair to the side first. By doing that you are probably raising it enough to touch the blade and remove some bulk. Whorls and cows licks are very difficult to deal with. I feel I'd need to do two or three videos just to cover each one. Not much help I know, but it's almost impossible to explain when those types of hair patterns are so unique to the individual

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'll use a 1" guard but it's like a close buzz. Maybe it's because I go against my hair?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 8 месяцев назад
That is exactly the reason. I would go with the grain using a #3 if you are using a method like that

@@theoneminutebarber I don't know how I spent my entire life cutting my hair wrong lol. I did the top a #3 and the sides a #2. It just looks a little weird on the blending because my side is a lot shorter on one side, I think went a little sideways instead of with the grain

I've basically got curtains. would the clipper going with the grain method work for hair that length or would it be too long for it and so result very drastic?

I wouldn't use the clipper with the grain method on curtains. It will definitely be too short.

@@theoneminutebarber do you have any tips for curtains or only go to barbers?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 2 года назад
I think for curtains I would go to a barber, the front is cut using compound overdirection. It's hard to imagine how you could do that yourself. You really need someone to pick up the sections for you, overdirecting them back and sideway behind the ear. It takes a lot of skill.

Why does your hair have to be parted to the side to cut the top as such ? Couldn't you just comb it all forward then start trimming it from the back forward ? The reason I ask is when I try to pick up hair from a side part it happens at a 90 degree angle . Maybe my hair isn't long enough to do what yours does ? And are you choosing that side for a reason versus the other one ? Thanks !
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
I do that because I want to pick up straight sections as I work forward. So if it's all combed to the side it's easy for me to pick up. You don't need to do that it's just a barber shop habbit for speed.

another way to cut it is to use a large flat topper comb and pick it up and run the clipper across it.

Hey Francisco. I'm not sure of it will work for you but in this video there is a method for blending in hair. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5JpAy_RTjos.html

@@theoneminutebarber ( i seen the video thank you.....when you use the clipper to take the bulk off the top, as your going forward towards your face does it just thin the hair, and keeps the length?
@theoneminutebarber
@theoneminutebarber 3 года назад
Yes that is the best way to describe it. It's a thinning technique. Imagine the height/density from the scalp when the hair is lying flat. This technique reduces the density.

Looks easier than cutting my knuckles with sharp scissors! Wouldn't it be good if there were some device that could hold all the hair you want to cut to the same length. Then you could just clipper it all at once. I think robots will be able to cut a man's hair in 30 seconds. Then I get it done weekly (rather than weakly like I do now :-) )

Using a fake greenscreen effect for a video where _hair_ is the focus was kind of really dumb dude... Greenscreens are known for being bad with hair or uneven edges with fine detail, now these new "background changer" effects you get in stuff like zoom are even worse. Like you comb your hair and you're like "so you can see my hair" it's like... well I can see a blurry mess... Even your comb is just one big graphical artifact, the background remove has no idea what to do with it so it's just a big blur
