QuoteReplyTopic: Cuttin Hair Posted: February 19 2006 at 11:31am
Anyone got any tips on cuttin your own hair? I know someone asked this question but no one really answered it, but when your cuttin your hair with the guards, is it possible to go lower in some areas? And what guard should you use if you wanna leave your hair dark? A number two, but what size is that?

Aight anotha question is what do you do wit all that hair afta the cut(cuz i already gots enough loose hairs jus from brushin)?Do you put newspapers on the floor b4 you cut, or do you just vaccumm/sweep?

YES u can use the taper thing on certain clippers to make ur own settings like 2.5,2.8, n what not, or u use more pressure to go closer n less pressure to cut less off, thats how u can fade in ur own neckline and sideburns. Just start, holding real hard tight to skin, then slowly reduce pressure.

Is this a good way to cut your own hair: WTG top-fordard, then bac-down, then sides-slanted, then do it again so you make sure you got evrythin all even?

yes, if you want to do a taper, you just set the taper control with the guard on. lemme explain, lets say u want to do a fade, you'd cut your sides and bak, etc., with the taper control to how much you want it to fade, then cut the cut the rest of the hair with the next highest taper setting. depending on the typee of fade you want, the amount of settings used from the bottom up will vary, remember, the hair should go, from the bottom up:short to tall
BAC THEN, THEY DIDN'T WANT ME, NOW I'M HOT, THEY ALL ON ME...
