David Escamilla that’s a damn good fade bro.. I’ve been cutting my own hair since high school, I got a similar technique to yours, but yours is cleaner!
@@hchoutx4111 I feel the same way. Others out there just weren't able to give the same explanation and techniques as David has. Glad I'm not the only one
I’ve watch multiple videos on self haircuts and I’ve gave myself 5 cuts, all fades or attempts at fades. This is very understanding and I greatly appreciate that you’ve taken the time to do this. It’s a massive help. Your an absolute hero. Thank you man👍🏻
I’ve been starting to cut my own hair at home because of Covid. I’ve learned to cut my own hair and line up my beard because of you. Thanks bro I appreciate you sharing your craft 🙏🏽
Bro!! That’s so fucken dope man! I’m glad I can help you. Make sure to send me some pics if you have any to my Instagram so i can do a review on your cut for my self cut subscriber review video 🙌
I've watched so so sooo many videos of how to fade and towards the end I had a generally idea of the step by step process. Many people steps are different in their own unique way, but yours made sense to me the most. Some other people had the same steps as you, but they added some other steps using different tools which I didn't have, since I'm just starting out... so.. thank you for this awesome tutorial!
I watched countless of self haircut videos in the past month but this was by far the most informative one! I actually learned so much in 5 mins. Thanks so much man
Yo this video was the first to pop up for self cut tutorial and I gotta say your step by step was so clutch! My first attempt at it today and it was pretty good. High key proud of the way it came out. Appreciate the time and effort you put into this.
Bro!! I’m so glad this video helps. I remember when I first started cutting my own hair. It just feels nice to get a cut done and not have your hair fucked up 😂 keep grinding man ! 📈
I’ve been doing a high skin fade on myself since the start of lockdown last year, watched loads of videos and got better over time still a far way from it being perfect but I’m not fused about my hair anymore and saved a lot of money 👌
@@DavidEscamilla153 I do yes, just bought me the right tools so I'll be cutting it tomorrow! I've watched many videos, but it wasn't since I watched yours that I was able to get it to where I actually liked it. Your explanations and techniques also work for my hair. So thank you and good looking out! Putting out good work 🙏💯
@@DavidEscamilla153 you know what it actually was better then I thought but it didn’t look like yours 🤣 I think for a first self hair cut it was decent
I been cutting my own hair because of the pandemic and this tutorial is one of the must well explained. I appreciate the enthusiasm and the step by step process. I have a question... I have the top a little longer than a 8 guard, how can I do the transition to avoid that line between the top and bottom? Thanks in advance!
Love this video man. I like the use of anatomy to outline what you're looking for. What would you recommend for a beginner set of clippers and trimmer. I'm currently using a Wahl classic edition that I got as a present but I'm not sure their up to scratch
@@DavidEscamilla153 Thanks for the reply man, and thanks for the recommendations. I really want to commit to self cuts, slightly concerned by connecting a cut and cutting the top, so lots of practice needed I suppose!
David Escamilla I actually did try it but like you said we’re not gonna get it on the first try 💯 but your video helps out a lot I appreciate you for your content
Honestly if this is your first time cutting your own hair I probably wouldn’t recommend this cut. I fucked myself up, the back part is so hard to do, definitely is gunna take practice. If you are willing to mess yourself up like I was I’d try it out but if you wanna get it exactly like him I’d probably try something easier. Anyone who gets it down the first time is a 🐐
awesome video man!! you explained this very good! please do more videos on how you explain.. question tho why didnt you use the number 3 guard at all??
Tbh bro I flicked out and I know my hair pretty well... I know that w the 2 guard I can cover the 3 guard (only bc my hair is curly) and I can do that. By the way! Thanks for constantly supporting the channel man! What other videos can I put out for you guys ! Give me some ideas
I usually skip forward myself but you put in those time stamps and showed where the fade starts which means you value my time... I appreciate that man. I ended up watch the beginning anyways just cuz you did that lol.
Wow finally ! This video is solid !!! It’s so fucken good and easy compared to all these other vids !! Thanks for this bro ! I still get kinda of confused from using the 1 then using 1/2 to remove the line Okay So do you use the 1/2 guard to go over the 1 steps ooooor do you only use the 1/2 up untill the line disappears?!!!! I need your help on this brother !
Bro check out one of my videos on my channel where I cut a mid low fade! I explain that step very clearly bro. Ima drop another self cut tutorial next week man! Appreciate you for watching this
Hey! I'm trying to fade my bf's hair in a test tomorrow at school. I've watched a ton of fading videos for weeks now and thank god yr video came up because i think it's the best one tbh. The other ones seemed so complicated to watch and learn. I wanted to know one thing at 2:28 when you're using the 4 one is the lever open or closed? Btw greetings from Finland ✌🏼
I did not think of that .5 Guard method after being Done fading with the 1 guard. That explains why i havent been able to get rid of that line from my clients
@@DavidEscamilla153 Yes its a good thing to have, So basically after doing the 1 guard and doing the fading technique, you just do the same technique but with the .5 guard?
Had to watch this video, as my low fade turned to mid... 😂...anyways, that .5 step is vicious, and I'm always scared to keep going higher resulting in the guidelines still showing.
Tbh brotha I would say buy the 1.5 and .5 it goes a long way. If Youre a beginner it’s gons be reslly hard to do clipper over comb in the area to blend out or to use scissor over comb on yourself
Just tried this right now and it looks like trash haha. Practice makes perfect though. Should I make my guidelines bigger? I felt like I was confusing my guidelines since they were small
Just take your time bro and make sure your canvas is clean. I used to rush through my haircuts and get frustrated. It’ll make it a smoother process if your work is clean and guidelines are consistent !
@@DavidEscamilla153 Just got done attempting my second try. Haha it looks way worse than my first try. Gonna have to wear a hat 24/7 or go with the #1 all the way 😂
Did you modify your clippers?? Make sure they’re sharp enough and have a lever so you can tell the difference. Also pass the machines multiple times when setting guidelines
@@DavidEscamilla153 I didn't modify my clippers im just a noob bro. i do own .5 and 1.5 guard tho. It's just once i have to use guards 1 and 2 to create guidelines, it becomes hard for me because it doesnt look like it cuts the hair as clean as the zero guard, and I can't really see the guideline of 2 and barely see the guideline of 1. Maybe im not going over the areas enough to cut the hair. I thought 2 - 3 swipes would be enough to shave down the hair
David Escamilla any tips man. I kinda zero gapped, not completely but it’s a bit close, I make a bald line with it and then use my shaver to bald out under it, I find it hard to knock out the bottom line with the clippers, also before the cut, do I need to use like a 3 or 2 all over the sides to get ready for the fade?
Great video, so helpful to see all the steps. Staying organized is a great tip, helps to be consistent. Drop a link to the IG so we can support there too.
Trust me self fading is not as easy as it looks but over time and patience will improve. Practice makes perfect. Nice cut
Thank you brotha 👍🏻 this was a 8 year process I have not let anyone cut my hair in that long! It takes a long time to get good at self fading
David Escamilla that’s a damn good fade bro.. I’ve been cutting my own hair since high school, I got a similar technique to yours, but yours is cleaner!
You’re right! I just started cutting my hair bcs of the pandemic but after watching this video, I have been able to improve my fading
@@hchoutx4111 I feel the same way. Others out there just weren't able to give the same explanation and techniques as David has. Glad I'm not the only one

Nice one
Ty man!!
The 2 guard you said was open but when you were cutting it was closed.
Might of been a slight error on the voice over my apologies man ...
David Escamilla Not everyone’s going to notice that man so I suggest you edit the video. That’s a big error.
So i cut it with guard closed or open
Yeah I noticed that too, super confusing.
Can you use this tutorial on straight hair aswell????
Of course man! It works w all hair textures, just that how you set up your foundation for your hair would be different
Thank you brother I appreciate you’re video a lot
Glad I can help bro !!
Hey nice tutorial brother. @ 9:36 Can I use #1 guard instead of 1.5 to blend?
You need to use both bro! &thanks for watching 🙏💪🏼
@@DavidEscamilla153 damn I only have 1 guard haha no 1.5
@@DavidEscamilla153 subscribed btw. Keep it up.
Buy some bro ! They’re like 5$ hahah
Trae Young teaching us how to cut I see you bro!
Lmao bro !!! Idk if to take that as a compliment or insult 🤣
i think its safer if you open the lever and slowly close it
I agree!! Sometimes I like doing both bc it gets boring doing the same method over and over again
You helped so much what a goat
what if you don't got a .5 guard?
It’ll make it 10x harder if you don’t
I usually skip forward myself but you put in those time stamps and showed where the fade starts which means you value my time... I appreciate that man. I ended up watch the beginning anyways just cuz you did that lol.

Hi David,
Is that the self cut system with the 12.5 inch mirrors or are they the 14 inch mirrors?
Tbh idk 🤦♀️
About to try this on my fiancé 😬
He's starting off with kind of long hair
Goodluck 🤣 Lmk how it goes !!
Where can i get that mirror??
Self cut system . Com
Use my code DRE10 bro!
Just subscribed cos man the information is great. Any chance, it's possible to do a fade without the lever?
It would be one of the hardest things to do ever lol !!
Very nicely done! How long did the cut take you from start to finish? @David Escamilla
1hr! Only bc Im experienced. This shit used to take me 2-3 hrs of frustration 🤣
@@DavidEscamilla153 Wow! 1 hr is tough, any tips? It takes me 3 hours of frustration now 😂 but I'm slowly getting better lol
These steps, can they be applied to a normal haircut and not just a “self cut”?
Of course man!! All these steps are universal
Still hard !!!

you have a link of hair air brush at 10:44
Sinan_34 go to my description I think I have it there bro, if not go to amazon and search “hair fiber pump” it should pop up 👍🏻

I cut it free hand bro I don’t use scissors for the top of my hair
What’s the mirror he’s using called
Self cut system !
Is the 1.5 guard necessary? Or can i do it with a 1 guard open? Thanks 🤙
Super necessary bro... you will be leaving one guideline behind without the 1.5
@@DavidEscamilla153 can you substitute the 1.5 guard closed with a 1 guard open? and a 1.5 guard open with a 2 guard closed? or is that not possible
@@dolx2861 think of the 1 guard open as a 1.4, then 1.5 guard closed is a true 1.5. theyre close but 1 open is shorter
Ft me and teach me while I’m cuting it 😭💯🙏🏽

It’s called a fiber pump on Amazon bro
