11 | I answered a lot of specific questions on the last video, so just click on the uploader's responses to see what I've already explained. | |
12 | ||
13 | So I recorded this right after I got back from rugby practice, and therefore my hair is completely dry and unstyled. That's what it looks like. | |
14 | ||
15 | I use CONAIR brand clippers. The cheapest ones I found at Target. They clippers don't matter too much as long as you oil them every once in a while. | |
16 | ||
17 | That was a number #1 guard. | |
18 | ||
19 | What I'm doing is clicking the blades forward. I'll use this to fade. You'll that I'll gradually click the blades back away from the guard as I progress. | |
20 | ||
21 | Here I am cutting my shortest. | |
22 | ||
23 | Now I am going 2nd shortest. | |
24 | ||
25 | Now I'm 3 clicks back from where I began with the blades. | |
26 | ||
27 | I switch to a #2 guard, but I advance the blades as closest to the guard as possible, to fade the sides better. | |
28 | ||
29 | I come back over the entire sides with a #2 guard, to cut any stray hair. | |
30 | ||
31 | You can sort of see how it's been cut here. Nowhere close to finished though. | |
32 | ||
33 | Now I'll be cutting the back with a #2 guard. | |
34 | ||
35 | To clean up the hair growing past my hairline, I'll use no guard. | |
36 | ||
37 | As you can see the hair falls everywhere. That's why I am shirtless. | |
38 | ||
39 | Now I am going to fade the back by going back over the area with a #1 guard with partially extended blades. | |
40 | ||
41 | I am using this 3# guard to reduce some of the thicker and fluffier hair towards the top back of my head. | |
42 | ||
43 | I'm planning on using scissors for the top, so I'm getting my head wet. | |
44 | ||
45 | Here you can see just how my hair grows, the divide is where the hair is growing straight upwards, as opposed to my heavy bangs which lay down when wet. | |
46 | ||
47 | And you can see I've cut my bangs a lot since the last video. | |
48 | ||
49 | Now I'm just using scissors to shorten the top, guys with thinner and flatter hair won't need to do this. | |
50 | ||
51 | Scissoring the back is pretty dangerous. Be careful. | |
52 | ||
53 | Here I am showing you how the sides of the top have more hair to allow the top to blend with the sides. Many novices make a mistake by cutting this away, and ending up with a high and tight. | |
54 | ||
55 | Now I'm evening out the blend with the sides. | |
56 | ||
57 | I've kind of got some hair on my face. This happens. | |
58 | ||
59 | I'm just touching up the back now. | |
60 | ||
61 | I am thinning out the temple apex at this point. It gives you a cleaner look. | |
62 | ||
63 | I dislike when my sides touch my ears, and many of you military guys will too. Here I make sure it's clean. | |
64 | ||
65 | Here is what it looks like with just a fingertip full of matte paste. | |
66 | ||
67 | ||
68 | Alright, I hope this helps some of you guys. | |
