I still make small mistakes on my line sometimes and Ive been at it for a while its just one of those things that takes time to master. For me a lil alchohol works for the bumps.

put diff stuff in my hair I probably never put the same thing everyday but here's a list of stuff I might use:I *oil sheen in a jar *royal crown *jam *when hair is long I use murrays *carrot/olive cream Its usually wutever I get to first the only thing I put in my hair everyday is bb super gro. When I cut my hair I might have a very small amount of super gro or small amount of carrot, or olive cream.

*When I cut my crown it doesnt matter which direction I just cut it because I cut My hair ATG any way #3 to be exact. Sometimes a #2. * When you oil your clippers You put the oil on it and wipe the extra off then run the clippers for aboout 10seconds, but the oil really wont be getting in your hair.

aiyo money i got you...i cut my own hair...the guard you use if you have just the clip on guard is a 1/8 with the grain that leaves it dark...and also it doesnt go lighter unless your not following the grain of the hair....so you must be careful to follow the grain of you hair all the way....when you get to the crown which should be the last thing you do cause thats the hardest part of the hair to cut....just brush it first to see how it feels if you are brushing the right way it wont feel as though you are lifting your hair up....and then once you find the pattern cut it how you brushed it yo....cause thats what i do find out how my crown grows and i cut it how i brush it....dont get mad if you mess up it happens...cause you know you have to find the pattern...but usually when you cut with the gaurd you wont get as low as a 1 1/2..any questions on that just pm me...

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...

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 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.
