cutting your own hair

TRU DAT!

Yep. I have went through so many clippers of the years. I found that adjustables are the best to me. You can cut a better fade. But I have use the regular clipper. I had to loosen the screws to adjust the blade.

And also make sure you have a set of clippers for edge ups and lines.

The clippers have levels on it.  I would put it on the level bald it a little.  go more levels and fade a little.  then when the lever is all the way down I fade it.  It can work if you do it right but that is my way.   

maybe if i was like 13 i would learn this but its college time so i aint going even try this

^I DO THAT WHEN MY HAIR GETS A LIL LONG, BUT IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE TO GET IT CORRECT, ITS KIND OF HARD TO PUT IN WORDS WITH OUT SHOWING EXAMPLES, MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOU GO TO THE BARBER YOU CAN ASK TO WATCH

Does anyone know how to fade the back of the  head real good? I'm thinkin about startin to cut my own hair and i wanna keep it even all around, but have it temped out in the back. Somebody holla back please...

i purchase this one   on this website-->here and cost about $90. they're the best clippers i ever used.

even though its kind of high in price its a great investment. try to stay away from those $20-$30 clipper sets you might see in stores:
1. there motors are usually weak
2. because of ^ you have to keep going over spot over and over to get it even
3. the have cheap plastic guards  that makes it more difficult to get everything even
4. they don't last long

also ANDIS TRIMMER'S ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST TRIMMER and they look cool too

thanks every1 for helping a bro out. yea 360spinna is rite. its easy to cut your hair yourself but the shape up is hard as $hit. i still need to get my shape ups better though. im going 2 stick to a size 1 on my clippers and make sure i cut to da grain . i hate using plastic guards because they dont come out that even, but if your good at cutting u can do it with a plastic guard. i use a professional clipper which was like $120. im getting my andis trimmer though in a couple of days so my shape will start to be on point.

im prolly juss wanna cut my own hair den hit up the barber for a line

cutting is very easy, especially if your cutting everything even. the line-up is the hard part but it doesn't take long to learn.
