i was scared too i was finna jump up and punch my barber but when he was done, i liked it and like wave connection said against the grain cuts stay fresh longer cuz when i get wtg cuts da fresh cut look last for about 3 days but when i got an atg cut it lasted about a week and a half. but dont get it if yo hair isnt trained

When you go ATG, the clippers and guard are actually lifting your hair before it is cut.  If you go ATG, you should use a higher number guard than the one you would use for the same cut WTG.  This compensate for the difference in the way your hair's cut.  On the other hand, WTG haircuts cut your hair from the backside and will make your hair look darker.

Lol I like the way ATG feels the barber normally cuts me WTG though to me it doesnt matter because my cuts come out nasty every time.

Wouldnt say that for your first cut, cuz after my first one mine disappeared. My advice like said b4 is to wait until yo pattern in real good then start goin ATG.

wtg is when the barber cuts your hair following the way you brush and atg is going to opposite way with the clippers
