Expert Barber Advice - How To Cut Your Own Hair | The Buzzcut
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- A trend we’re seeing through the COVID-19 lockdown has inevitably been the buzzcut, you know it’s going to be a ‘thing’ when David Beckham decides to do it. However, you should proceed with caution with the buzzcut - once you’re committed, there is no going back!
In this video, we show how you can achieve it at home, but bear in mind, we’re professional barbers and we’re using professional tools. It’s not as easy if you don’t have the correct tools, like the Wahl clipper we use with the correct guards and variable cutting-teeth settings. If you’re clippering it off as one length all over, you’ll find it will grow out very uniform, little like a tennis ball!
The positives are that is it low maintenance and is a fresh start for the Summer heat, and there is no better time to see if it works with the shape of your skull and if you have any rogue moles or scars under all that hair!
It looks great on some people and just doesn’t work on others, so if you want to find out if it’s for you it is as good a time as any to give it a try, whilst in lockdown!
Imagine if he didn’t press record
This made me laugh thanks
lol just come back in 2 weeks
Then we going bald
He would have to regrow his hair again

Huh, okay I'm feeling a bit more brave about this now. Thank you.
I would love to have you buzz mine across the top and I would really enjoy cutting your hair like that TO!!!!!
Man just do it a few times and u get used to it
It's actually gets easier with each cut, just takes time and practice
@@obama8452 obama what are u doing here?
Used this for the first time, first time cutting my own hair, and I can’t believe it turned out so well. I took it slow, but this video was so reassuring as I went for it. Never had a buzz cut but why not? Also played the video back multiples times as I was cutting to make sure I got it! Thanks for your time and this video!
I did it! Thank you brave sir. I buzzed my hair for the first time on my own. No longer a self-buzzcut virgin!
I need a shower.
Ima be buzzing my head for the second time. Chemo making it fall out like crazy. Just gotta remember it doesn’t look too bad 🙂👍
Good luck bro
hows the chemo going man? god bless you
Prayers for you brother
Hey, I’ve been through chemo treatment. I did a buzz cut for the first time ever in my life because of the treatment. And if I can get through chemo, you can too. God bless.
Buzzcuts look badass. Look good and feel good.
My husband has been buzzing his hair for 13 years and it always looks super sexy. I always wondered how the heck he does that. Super fast too. Good luck everyone!
Great HowTo! I was just a few sweeps away from perfection then the guard came off and I laid a track straight up the middle that made me look like a skunk. 🤘🤪🤘
😫 it happened to me
😂😂😂😂😂
😅lol… probably helped maintain “social distance”
Hope i got all right:
Start with 2 guard (it's 6mm), from front to back, keep the clipper nice and flat to the skull while cutting. Clean the hair between the blades throughout the cut, otherwise you'll have different heights forming shades on the head.
After making all even, move to 1 guard (the 3mm) and pull the lever back, it will make the clipper rise a little bit and you'll get a 1.5 guard or 4.5mm. Start from the back and work only until the curvature of the head, don't go all to the top. Then push the lever back to place to have a hard 3mm cut, by leaning the head you can get to the side and back easily without going for the curvature, it'll blend the 4.5mm and 3mm pretty nicely. Make sure you go in different directions to cut all the hair and not leave shades on. To finish, use the 0.5 guard (1.5mm) or use the clipper without a guard tool with the lever pulled to form a 1.5mm distance between the blades. With this you are able to do the edges by scooping big spoons of ice cream out of it, this way your cut will not be sharp as commonly seen in homecut hairs.
Thank you!
Really debating buzzing this weekend now hahahahaha, can’t look like a caveman anymore
howd it go? lol
Did you do it?
@@Clean82 Nope, he died.
Used this tutorial first time round three months ago, had another go today - much better. Excellent tutorial, thanks.
Thanks for the video. Just buzzed mine after about 12 years of growing it out and I love it.
12 years 💀how long was it?
Thanks for the guide! I have shoulder length hair and am trying this at the weekend.. wish me luck!
bless this mans voice
This is great, man. Thanks. Won’t be trying the fade part anytime soon, I’ll just do the one-size all over to start off. The blending part is what I’m most nervous about.
That is called the 'burr cut'.
Really not necessary with a no 1 cut just trim ears and neckline and your done. With my hair you can mess around fading but two days of growth and not even aware of it.
"That hairline isn't as strong as it used to be."
That's why I want to shave my own head down. At this point I should be getting a 50% discount at the barber's because they have to put in half the work lmao.
Hey thank you. I just did mine and it was about 90 per cent of what my barber does. And for a first time doing it..I am fine with that!
Ok, made the first cut! I hadn't had a haircut in over 12 months, due to outrageous prices for terrible cuts in the remote Australian city I live in. Yep, no going back now. I don't have the short guards as in the video. But used a 3mm guide. Followed basic steps in this how to video. Although I couldn't get a proper blend/fade (neither can local barbers) gave myself a bloody good haircut. Thank you for an excellent video on how to use clippers! One tip, I went to a local giant hardware chain store and bought a really cheap plastic drop sheet in their painting section. Spread that out first then sat a stool in the middle before cutting my hair. Wrapped up the lot in one go afterwards. Two mirrors essential!
horrible barbers are an unspoken plague
Good advice thanks
I do the same thing. A stool and two mirrors. Need to buy a drop sheet as well.
I've had medium - long length in hair for over 15 years... this is a new experiment - wish me luck!
Well, I've done it now… 👱♂️😂 Thank you. It was really helpful.
I would like to know if your head looks like a toothbrush after one month as they say?
@@amude-kr2iw No, it doesn't.
@@amude-kr2iw it depends on your hair type
@@amude-kr2iw I have never heard of someone's head looking like a toothbrush...Lol
Third time following these directions. Thanks mate! You have so far saved me over $100 in hair cutting costs!
This was an absolute pleasure to watch in a way that I hadn't expected coming in. You have a lovely disposition for video, Dennis, and I could listen to your voice all day.
Super directions mate. 👌 After looking like a 70s footballer for the last month... 😬 I borrowed a proper pair of WAHL barber clippers, watched this and just went for it.
For a guy with shaky hands and a bit of an odd-shaped, balding skull it actually looks half decent. Will be sticking with the number 2 buzz cut all over from here on it.
Cheers pal. 👍
During the coronavirus shut down this is the alternative to getting a haircut
When you put one leg in front of the other over and over again your walking

Captain obvious has entered the chat..
it's way past COVID-19 but this video helped a lot. Thank you!
It's actually not. They lied, rather successfully. My friend was buzzcutting my hair but she's not around much these days.
That’s really useful thank you! Will be recommending this to any friends who are thinking about giving it a bash
Thank you! I looked at a bunch of tutorials and found yours to make the most sense and be the most relaxed ^^ Gonna give it a try.
@T.J. I'm still waiting on my haircutting machine haha. 2 failed deliveries ^^
@T.J. So I finally got around trying it and it didn't turn out awful! It took me wayyy longer tho cause I started with longer hair. Plus probably gonna ask my flatmate later for help with cleaning up the neck hair
TinyWorlds nice I hope it looks good
My skull shape is perfect for a buzz cut haircut. I've been cutting my own hair for 6 yrs now
I really should've worn my contacts when doing this lmao
I did it today and I am so scared of my mom 😭 I’ve decided to hide it until i can but I’m so happy with the end result. I used my dad’s 12mm clipper guard
This gave me enough courage to use the clippers I bought six weeks ago with how easy you made it look. Thanks for uploading.
About 7 yrs ago, I started buzzing my own hair. The lady that cut my hair wouldn't cut it the way I wanted, so I decided to cut my own hair.
i just used my pube mower and I've never stopped. Once or twice a year I shave it all off. First time looking up a guide. Helped a lot lol wish I saw this sooner
I buzzed my hair short for the first time this week. Your video gave me a lot of courage. Thanks. Sadly, I realized that my bald spot at the top is bigger than I thought so the next step is to shave it off. I haven't worked up the courage to do that yet.
Just got myself a pair of Classic 76s, looking forward to giving this a shot myself! Been years since I wore a buzzcut, always liked it, and now have an excuse to go back to it!
Wow man thank you a lot. I've seen many tutorials for a buzz cut but you explain it so clear and make it so easy. My haircut is so neat now.
This a great video on how to do a buzzcut. I have been cutting my own hair due to the lockdown. I found that due to having fine hair a number 3 top and 2 on the sides works better for me. I have friend that is a hairdresser and she said shaving the neckline is very important. You said the same. Great video. 👍👍👍
Thanks for this tip! I have fine hair as well, and I'm planning on shaving in a few days >.
Nice to see Simon Pegg keeping his side gig!
thanks for the video! loved it! going to attempt the quarantine buzzcut myself!
James Kieffer how it go
Yea how did it go?
Dunno about him but the 6mm to 3mm guides on this vid helps for me. I don't have the 1.5 guard (as expected), and I only used a cheapo Chinese hair clipper, but aside from the minor imperfections like no shading on the back of the ears and on the neck... It's pretty good. Took me 1.5 hours for my first self-cut though.
Thankyou for posting this easy to follow tutorial. I have been attempting lockdown buzz cuts with varying degrees of success! After watching this video and purchasing .5 and 1.5 guards i have just completed a 5 star buzz( well i think so anyway) 👍
I just love his English accent!!!!!!!
Got to say a huge thank you for this video. I was starting to look like Chewbacca, so took the plunge after watching this video and I'm very pleased with the results!
Tried to do it, went very well until I forgot to put the guard on after cleaning the clippers after doing the top. Had to go bald. But I really like the result, thank you for your help
This is the easiest learning video!!!!
I’ve been buzzing my hair for years with no tutorial, I was looking up how to do a fade though and this showed up. I just put my clippers on 2 and buzz away. Super easy and you can’t mess it up if you tried, that’s what the guards for.
Absolutely
Same, its the easiest thing to do.
Wow it really suits u.....what a handsome man!!!
my very first self-buzzcut went great, thanks a bunch for the pointers :) stay safe
Thank you for this!! Made growing older with grace much easier!!
Thank you. Great guide, just finished cutting my hair for the first time and couldn't be more happier with how it turned out.
I’ve got the tools, and I appreciate the instruction. It’s time! I’m planning on getting myself Buzzed a little later today. 😉👍😬
I'm getting bald. I don't complain at all coz I'm 45 now and this has been happening really slowly since I was 27. I'm actually considering doing that to my hair. It looks fresh and clean.
i think it's the best haircut for balding people or short buzz with fades on sides
Just followed your video and managed to get a decent buzzcut as a result! Not perfect mind you, but not bad for my second lockdown haircut :)
It's past COVID lockdowns... but I'm watching this to be able to cut my own hair due to all this dang inflation.
2:19 “us” must mean you’re a hairdresser/barber glad I’m hearing this from someone experienced
Thanks Walter White, appreciate it xx
Thanks for the video. This really helped.
Thank you! Best instructional video on a buzz cut. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the help. Cheers!
i buzzed my hair today with this tutorial turned out better than i expected
Brilliant!Worked really well ,did not think it would look as good
My 3rd video and first one to talk about the sweeping motions. I can see that to be able to change to lower, closer settings. We are totally shut down again as of yesterday. Only 2 barbers in the town we retired to, so I’m going to try it on my BF. He is mostly bald anyway. We have a Wahl personal groomer. Was thinking to use that for cleaning up. Will see. I use power tools. Ha yeah, could get the chain saw out! Good instructions. Just rounds off the other videos I watched to be more confident. Thanks!
POV: ur here because of quarantine
@SpeedbirdConcorde me 2night lmao
Me today
Yup....tmr lol
Yes
back at it again boyos
Very interesting! I am still learning to buzzcut my own hair and after doing it three times I realized that I wasn’t holding the clippers the right way! So I was missing some areas which resulted in longer hair. After making this slight adjustment I am sure I will do better.
Have no adjuster on my clipper it's a beard trimmer. One size for me short blending waste if time will blend itself in couple days of normal growing hair grows fast
Working up the nerve to do this for myself. I happen to have fairly nice clippers, but I'm a a little short in the courage to try! Thanks, this is a great clip! (pun? what pun?)
Love your piercing!
After you made that first cut, I said SHIT out loud. Not that it was bad or anything, but I thought that looks scary. Not wrong when you said not going to back out now! Going to finish this video before trying it myself.
Imagine how convenient it was back when the pandemic hit, if it was time for a haircut…and you happened to be a barber!🤣
I did this never looked back saved me a fortune 🥠
Its that time again, to watch this video several times over the next couple of days.
This was a big help, definitely easier with cordless clippers too 😂
Thank you very much for your tips, try this evening and my head looks better😁❤️❤️🙏🏻
Great advice. Ive just started shaving my head. Cheers for the guidance 👍
Excellent video, Friend! The inspiration struck me, and to gave me the confidence to go for it!
Gonna keep it simple, but this is very helpful indeed!
Very well explained! I went for it and I am so happy with the results. Thank you!
37 years?! That's my lifetime!
Well lads I'm going in. A couple shots of liquid courage at 4:30am and it's time to get buzzy with it
Put it on your resume you got a lad whos never even held clippers with a fine looking buzz. I'd have paid 15 quid for that
really though thanks man couldn't have done it without this
Chapters:
0:00 - 0:13 Introduction
0:14 - 3:52 Go against the grain around all angles and sides at the larger size you want to cut with ie. 6mm, making sure to press firmly on the curvature of the head and the sides, including the crown to make sure it's all cut.
3:53 - 5:53 Start around the back of your head (occipital bone) with a size smaller than the first, reducing the size of your guard by about half or so. Work your way around to the curvature of the head, making sure not to go over and onto the top of the head.
5:54 - 6:25 Go slightly larger than the second guard and rub out any shadows on the curve.
6:26 - 8:51 go about .5mm larger than the last guard and get in as close as you can all around the head on the sides and curves. Going right against the head over the occipital bone and sides but not onto the top.
8:52 - 9:57 use a .5mm guard or the clipper with handle extended and carefully trim up and lose hairs around the neck and sideburns.
9:58 - 10:43 Cheers
I've come back to this video at least *_7_* times now
Buzzed my head for the first time ever thanks for posting ! I straight up massacred the back of my head 😂
Thanks for the video. I’m going to give it a try.
I'd love to be there and have you cut the hair across the top with a #2 guard and cut the back and sides up high with the clippers and no guard, cutting the back and sides as close to the skin as possible, and I would be enjoying every minute of it.
Cheers pal, just the tonic..thick curly hair was doing my swede in...
I do this every friday, good vid!
Hmm 🧐 can you give tips for first timer? I watched the video twice but want some confirmation for someone who does it every friday
Watching this for the second time (for the second DIY haircut) & it's amazingly helpful! Thanks a lot :)
So useful! Many thanks!
You're a legend, mate. Thanks
Very nice cut. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for this, mate. Going to have to bite the bullet and buzz it this week. Probably going to look like a cancer patient, but will save on product
Exactly what I needed. Many thanks.
Awesome , did not think it would look so good!
You seem such a good lad. Grettings from Mexico. Have a great life!
I always mess it up because i press too hard on some parts. So i just decide to shave it as short as possible which is suboptimal
I somehow made a mistake and cut it wayyy to short 😂 looks like a razor shaved it. But Its all good, I'll own it and it will grow in a week or two, hopefully. Apart from that, nice video!
I mean literally any Wahl clippers that have the same guards as he's using in this one will be more than fine. So long as it's professional and has a very powerful motor, for my hair is thick and rather coarse.
Bring on the suggestions.
Top tip: Use the number 1 for your eyebrows to go for the egg look.
Awesome video thanks for sharing👊🏽
Thanks so much this was a very useful tutorial
Our covid-19 haircut anthem. Good times.
Great video it really helped me a lot, thank you.
Fantastic Video! Thank you
I always use a 1 guard. Like how clean it feels.
Same here. I enjoy buzzing my own hair😄
The guessing the curvature by feel without seeing it is what's holding me back.
That's just for the fade. Do all 2
Just tried this maybe cut your hair if it's long before or it's hard to trim🤣 you can still do it just takes longer, also make sure your trimmer thingy is charged mine died halfway through 🤣 if your unsure do a bigger size as once it's gone it's gone👌
This is very helpful because you have the same shape head as me.and. I thought it'd not suit me but it would probably look fine
thank you so much sir for making this video 🙏
