  • This is the break down of what those numbers mean on your guard. Here's a little recap
    0 Guard - 1/16th of an inch
    1 Guard - 1/8th of an inch
    1 1/2 Guard - 3/16th of an inch
    2 Guard - 2/8th of an inch
    3 Guard - 3/8 of an inch
    and so on...
    Clipper closed is bald or a zero. Clipper open is 1/16th of an inch or a "half"

To get more views make sure to ask people to like the video and subscribe if they got any value from it. Also, asking a question in your video for people to respond/comment down below helps your engagement with your audience and it helps the RUclips algorithm.

  • @fahadpereira5951
    @fahadpereira5951 4 года назад +3

    Thanks, these videos are very useful and easy to follow, much needed! Question, what’s the point of having a specific guard for 1.5 when this can be achieved simply by opening the lever on #1? Or have I missed something?

    • @thephoenixbarber4435
      @thephoenixbarber4435  4 года назад +2

      It helps with making the blend transition between the #1 and #2 very smooth. You dont "need" it if you have your technique down but it does help alot. and everyones hair fades differently. opening the #1 lever doesn't open directly into the #2 with the Wahl clippers. It opens up to a 3/16 instead of 4/16 which is the #2 guard or 2/8th. remember opening the lever only adds 1/16th

    when you're doing it yourself. The sides shouldn't be too hard. it's the back and then the top will be the challenge for many. But then again with most currently out of work. Any mistakes can be covered with wearing a hat when going out.

    • @thephoenixbarber4435
      @thephoenixbarber4435  4 года назад

      I completely agree with you. It's always that blend going into the top of the hair that makes it really challenging depending on the haircut you want. Although, like you said if you mess up just go out with a hat lol

    Thank you so much for the help. I would like to ask a question that crossed my mind whilst watching the video. If we say for example that a 1 guard closed is 1 and 1 open is 1 and a half, why would we need another guard to our set when we can just open the lever. The same goes for the half guard.

    • @thephoenixbarber4435
      @thephoenixbarber4435  2 года назад

      because you still have a gap from the #1 guard open and the #2 guard close. Same goes for no blade open and #1 guard closed. The detail in-between those guards are crucial when creating a blurry fade

    Great video brother! May I know what should I do to get a similar effect of .5 if the clipper I bought doesn't have this "open close" lever feature? It's a budget model called Xiaomi Enchen.

      Thank you for watching and supporting! I am not too sure on the clipper you have. It is probably not a fading clipper on which my video is directed towards since it does not have a lever to adjust the blade.

    I was told since the 1 guard open is 1 1/2 to only use the 3/16 guard in the halfway position with the lever. And the same with the 0 guard. I see a lot of barbers just open close. Those guards were designed to fill the gap by using the lever in the halfway position ?

    What about when you have the 0 or 1/16 guard on with it being closed what do you call that?
