I tried this a few times as well as another video. I'm glad I decided on this one. It took me a few times but now it's a breeze. I don't understand when people post their videos they have to go off track and tell their life stories; especially when it's a tutorial. Who has time for that? Thanks for getting straight to the point!
I've watched at least 6 videos on cutting men's hair and this is by far the best !
Stuck at home with my wifey and decided to purchase clippers (Andis Pivot Pro) which comes with a trimmer. Looked at about 12 videos over the previous week and viewed your video about 6 times. (Your video was the best - good explanation, great demo and the end product looked great.)Told my wifey yesterday that we are going for it today. (I have never cut my own hair.) Reviewed your video with my wifey one more time, did a dry run (nothing plugged in) and then went for it. My wifey gave my cut a 9 out of 10 and I gave it a 9 as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to put out this video back in 2017 which I used today. Stay Safe.
I dunno man, the guys hair in the video is pretty thin in a few spots. Not sure if it's his natural thin hair or if he buzzed it too much in certain areas.
Very true but you must remember no one is ever going to replace our barber, in my case 10 years with Mr. Tran, so do the best you can. Just take your time try a higher setting (better to cut less then more) so you can get the hang of it. I cut my hair for the 2nd time this past weekend and plan to cut my hair every two weeks to practice. My wifey was around at my request as my safety blanket and second set of eyes. She also finishes the cut using the trimmer around the ears and in the back. Plenty of other tutorials available but this one was a good "fit" for me. Stay Safe!!
With everyone stuck at home, I'm guessing this video is about to trend.
You can say that again lol, as I said on another video I bought a babyliss 7498cu, cordless does the job well
Indeed... I ordered this tool and will soon try it ;-))
You are correct! The few stores open in my area are sold out of trimmers also....what to do?
@@marklennox2151 where are you ?
@@digitalmediafan ..I'm on Long Island, NY.....but it's OK...I had a little pair of scissors and just gave myself a crew cut...I watched a video and it came out so well I may not need the barber anymore..
This is the best DIY hair cutting video on RUclips. I bought a a $20 Wahl hair clipper and got good results following these directions- Thanks!
Thanks man. Got my clipper today. With the lockdown and everything, had to do it. It was easy. I’ve just followed yours steps. You just made my day. Take care.
Omg... great tutorial. I was able to cut my own hair with great results! I just might start cutting my own hair going forward.
Just bought my first set of clippers and this video taught me all I need to know thank you
35+ Years Ago I bought a Professional grade Hair Clippers and began doing My own Hair. At the time $110 seemed excessive for Clippers, but those Clippers are still cutting My Hair today, I really am glad I went for Quality.
Did this for the first time today! It worked pretty well! I only went down as low as a number 4 on the sides. The hand on your head idea is brilliant to stop you going too far.
I watched about 10 DIY haircut videos. This one was the most helpful by far. In quarantine about a month now, my first haircut turned out so good, I thought I should say thanks. It was nine weeks since I last had my hair cut, so having a vacuum cleaner handy helped.
Check this tool. It might help you get a perfect self haircut!

Just done it, great result, thank you for imparting your knowledge.
This is the fastest and no drama self hair cutting method, thank you sir!
I was paying barbers to screw it up, so I figured I'd save my money and screw it up myself
Same
😂😂😂👍
I feel you T_T
Atleast you get self satisfaction and you get good at it each time you do it
Worth trying this I think
If it works you could save yourself 2 or 4 cuts out of 6-8 you do.
Practice practice practice !!
Tip1: place rubber band around your head at each level you want to stop cutting. Then your hand has a guide at what level to trim too...ensuring things go to plan and aren't unbalanced.
Tip2 : Adjust rubber each time....using mirror ....SLOWLY check and recheck to ensure you look fine from all 360 degrees. Reminds me of quote "always check twice before you trim once"...it wasn't about hair but it fits the need exactly !
Tip3: to correct a crooked cut...you could also use rubber band....adjust rubber band to allow you to cut what needs cutting and no more ?
Win win solution.
Tip4: you could put a big hankerchief on your head and then rubber band over hankerchief, lift the material and trim up to the line of cloth. Cloth then protects all hair above the line even if your being careful a rogue stroke can not do any damage at all as hair above band will be under the cloth.
Tip4 has a risk - it might create a definite line (if it works great, if not revert to just Tip3 if not Tip2 if not use your hand like video says.
Tip5: If you have a partner to cut your hair the video plus rubber band may be enough to allow an untrained untrusted partner to give you a decent trim from neck up to ears upon eyebrow level around head.
Oooo....I'm excited I wanna try it now !!
Wish me luck!
UPDATE : I did it got a decent trim sides abd back.
Lessons learnt :
- rubber band has to be very loose around head is large band so it doesn't slide off head !! But it does work to some degree as a guide
- my hair style is like the video guy rather than strokes up cutting hair, I found it more effective to cut in the line of hair follows or is combed. In my case my sides flick more backwards so I stroke backwards as if I'm combing with the trimmer
- final lesson don't let hair stay flat against the skull lift it up between fingers to get trimmer to cut (obvious realky if your trimming with the grain, as opposed to against the grain like the video man)
Overall...took me a few attempts to get into it so don't give up and BE BRAVE...yes being less does you no favours.
Thanks for the tutorial. My clippers arrived yesterday and I was a bit leery about attempting this alone (I live by myself.) You made it seem some what easy and after following your directions things turned out pretty good. Practice makes perfect and I'm looking forward to the next time I attempt this! Thanks, again!
I just ordered mine and it'll be here next week. Took me an hour searching for them as most all clippers were sold out during this virus. I'm going to follow what this guy did cause I have short hair and if I mess up, off it all comes!! 😂😂 I'll just wear my winter hat for the next 3 months! Lol! I'm glad it worked for you!!
Thank you for the video. I’ve been cutting my own hair for the last 6 months as I have been boondocking. I’m glad you showed me your technique as I don’t do a great job on the back. I’m back in Canada and it is snowing so I thought I’ll maybe wait a little hoping it may warm up. I take it down to 1/8” and quite like it. Thank you again.
Hi! Thanks for your video, this gave me the courage to cut my hair for myself. And it turned out to be quite nice. Thanks!
Hair clippers are in higher demand than the toilet rolls now. Did my first self haircut today after watching quite a few number of clips on RUclips. Much easier than I thought. Those clipper guards worked wonders.
Just got my CONAIR clippers from Amazon - two weeks early! This video make it look doable and I'll give it a shot in a couple of days.
Using your hand to stop is the great tip you gave. It helps a lot. Thanks.
You are a lifesaver! I was worried as my wife was going to cut my hair and she has never cut anyone's hair before.
Thank you, Dear Michael Madsen. You kill it!
For the longest time I didn’t know my barber was legally blind
Thank you for making and posting this awesome video. Yours is the best after watching so many similar one.
Great tutorial, thanks for explaining very clearly. I now never sit in an actual Barber's chair, before checking the price of a basic cut... once bitten, twice shy! Too many rip off salon owners for comfort...
Thanks for posting your video! We have similar hair styles so your step by step instructions were perfect. 👍
At 1:17 you misspoke: if your hair is 1.5 inches, and you use a 1 inch guard, your hair will be 1 inch long, NOT 1/2 inch as you stated.
I caught that too.
THANK YOU! I'm a razor newbie (a woman who had hair halfway down my back until two months ago), so I rewatched that section about 5 times trying to understand the math!
@@karenmcginty9614 Glad I could help.
@@karenmcginty9614 Hope you didn't go for the Mohawk. Long hair looks good on a woman.
But, yeah, I was befuddled by the new math in this video too.
Finally a goof proof way for me to cut my hair, thank you, I watched so many of these videos
Great video!!! Did it on my hair, and looks perfect!
Thanks ! I gave myself an haircut lat night turn out .... well not that bad for a first time. Your trick and tips were great help.
I like your spirit. And thanks for the tutorial. You gave me the courage to try it on myself as it won't be safe to visit a barber-shop for a while.
Good demo. Thanks! A lot of kits also include left taper and right taper guards. Those make it a lot easier to do above the ears and even the taper at the back.
The video is amazing as well as inspirational! Thanks. I am going to try cutting my hair today itself.
You are really the best ! Clear guidance on each steps all by self ! Tks
The back must be where everyone struggles. Using your hand as a stop in this area is a great idea 👍
Sure. The back will look like the shape of a hand.
My wife has been cutting the family's hair for over forty years as well as her own. She's self taught and does a very good job. She has saved the family a lot of money and she says that before she started cutting her own hair, she had only four hair cuts herself from professional hairdressers that she liked. She says that, if she messes up, at least she only has herself to blame and it cost her nothing.
Haircut looks great. Good presentation. Thank you!
Excellent video. Did mine a few days ago. A lot easier than people think...might stop going to the barbers so often.
Well I tried this myself. It worked. Thank u very much
Thank you so much for your tips. I have already tried your style :)
Hey! In consideration of the PANDEMIC, this is a very helpful post. Cutting my own hair. The new trimmers showed up this week and in about 5 minutes, I will try not to destroy my haircut. Getting the courage to actually run those clippers into my hair is the first step . . .
C19+shutdown = My own Wahl clippers and self cutting independence ! Thank You for the tutorial , I learned stuff.
I broke down and bought myself some clippers. Barbers are closed for at least another month. I figure, if I don't cut my hair, it will look terrible and I'll feel itchy. If I try to cut my own hair, it will look terrible, but at least I'll feel better. Either way, nobody will see it but me, my wife and the cats.
If it doesn't work out good for me my wife will keep telling me how bad it is :-)
That's the way I feel. After 5-6 weeks my the hair on my neck starts to get really long and itchy. At this point I don't really care that much. I may just shave the whole thing off without any kind of fading. It'll grow back in a 2 weeks anyways.
Bought the clippers. This video gave me the courage to go for it.
Inspired me, bought the clippers at WalMart $39 bucks, did the job and my wife asked what barber I went to! But she didn't see the back, luckily she can clean it up. Thanks
this dude is a wildman!!! thanks for the vid
Thank you After watching this you gave me the confidence I needed and ordered an Oster 76 with all the Oster Combs and will give it a try. All barber shops are closed down at this time and I'm looking like Grizzly Adams! Hell if I mess up High and tights were very fashionable when I was living at Fort Benning, Georgia:)
Thanks. Very well explained. Your method worked for me and my son.
Well explained!! I love the hand hard method. Thank you for posting it.
I'll still go to my stylist, she's amazing, but this helps during NYC Covid-19 lockdown. Thanks!
You make it look easy so I will give it a try Thanks Ken
I did it!! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thanks, best self hair cutting video I have seen so far.
Lol are u joking? Hes sides are so uneven
Thank you so much! My 17 year old daughter and I watched this and she was able to give me a really good COVID19 haircut using your technique! GREAT Video!
It’s great that your daughter had the guts to try it good for her!
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I’m giving my first clippers it’s maiden voyage tomorrow. We have similar hair so thanks for the tips.
the best tut on the net!!!!
Many thanks for the tips. I just did it for the first time in my life!
Kinzang Dukpa lame to post that with No mention of your results
I've been clipping my hair for nearly 2 years. A simple 8 all over, with a 2 at the sides, going into the 8. I leave a bit at the front longer than the 8 to give some shape.
Just what I was looking for...thnx. Will try tonight
Agree. Best video I have seen.
You started as Sean Connery & finished like George Clooney . Great effort Im sold
Because of lock-down, I did my own last week using my beard-trimmer. I used the 3/4" comb to take about 4" off all over, then took pics with my phone from all angles to find any missed areas. Off with the 3/4", on with the 1/2" for an all-over tidy-up. With my thick hair, I had to remove the off-cuts every stroke, or it clogged.
Saving money by cutting my own hair and also getting my sideburns right. Thanks!
Great job bro respect from Macedonian in Australia
I cut my own hair too! I don’t have any videos but I feature some of the haircuts of my friends and siblings on my channel.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Just tried it! Works great lol
Very nice demo! I bought the same Wahl clippers and trying to get up the nerve to use them, lol. Thanks for sharing.
It saves money every month going to the barbers, he done a good job cutting his hair.
I learned hair cutting from this gentleman.
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial.
This was awesome man, thank you! After watching this I think I have the courage to now give it a go...I got the same exact pair of clippers as you all oiled up and ready to go, I think...😬 I've cut my hair in the past and nearly every time I screwed it up and had to buzz it off. If that happens today my Wife when she gets home is absolutely gonna kill me lol...Love how you sped up the video but not enough for us not to be able to see what you were doing...Also the narrating during it was a nice touch! The hand trick not letting the clippers go up too high is the absolute key to success in cutting it right after seeing you use that technique...Thanks again 👍
Thank´s brother! Excellent lesson.
Hey man, Thank you so much for your inspiration!
Using a hand as a borderline is actually a great idea. I will use it in the next cut.
All the barber shops in my area of London are now closed, due to the C19 crisis. Not the sort of person to let my hair grow too long, this video is a great way to get informed on how to remedy this problem. Thank you W H N.
Thanks for your video, It's so useful
I started out cutting my dad's hair I did just a good job as the shop at the VA. FYI they charge for a haircut at the VA at least here in Dallas. So I cut my own did pretty good for my fist time. But cutting the back is task.
Thank you Weird Health News for the post
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips 😂👍
I clipped my hair for the first time in my life. I was unrecognizable. When I showed up to my wife she called 9-1-1.
lol
Reno 911?
Great video man! Cut my hair using your method yesterday and I'm very happy with the result. How do you cut the front?
Loved it! and thanks for no background music!
No barber can cut my hair like i do, I go to a barber or two or three and every time i come home I need to fix their cut, and I pay for it, so I've had enough, I cut my hair myself and I'm happy.
I tried to trim but it became tedious and I wasn't very happy with the results. So I used the 1/4" attachment and gave myself a full head buzz-cut. I kinda like it. It may become my permanent hairstyle.
nice, looks so easy, thanks!
Thanks, concise and useful.
I just used scissors then finished off with a UK £0.10p disposable razor. Don't think i will ever bother going to barbers again.
I tried the razor because years ago you could buy a comb with a blade attached and comb cut your hair. It works.
The barbershops are all closed and my husband badly needed a haircut. I simply followed your directions and it looks a lot better! Great instructions!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the heads up on that!
I always just run the #8 flat over my head, then tip it up so it trims the front a bit longer. I finish it with the ear trimming attachment going back to front, then front to back so the hair around my ears is tapered. I've been cutting my own hair for about 5 years now with only one "oops" moment. lol
I'm hair stylist and I can say not bad for doing it yourself!
Brilliant video, thanks!
Never done this before. I'm going for it. If the farmer next door laughs before I talk I'll know why.
The farmer next door will probably have the same hair cut, or even bald. Chance for bald is rather high because everyone on the internet is thinking they are pro just now after watching a video.
Great straightforward!
Wow! The new Marcel Marceau!
Awesome. Super teacher!
Quarantine cut. Thanks!!!
A iesit foarte bine tunsoarea. Succes
Good job. Looks good.
