There's obviously a lot of ways to skin a cat. But your way is the fastest I've seen. Bravo.

What a magnificent video
Love the way you break everything down, and make it a little easier for us to comprehend the techniques. Keep doing your thing G.
Will do 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This was everything I wanted in a block graduation tutorial and more, thank you Sean
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hey Sean, just came by to say that since I watched this video of yours and tried it.. It became a technique that I cannot live without anymore.. been using it so much lately! Such a game changer. Thank you so much 🙏
Great to hear! Keep at it 👊🏼
@Seancutshair Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling with connecting long hair to the fade. I’ve never had some explain things so easily that it just made sense. Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!
Good to hear!!!
This tutorial has been a lifesaver! 7 months into cutting professionally and I’d been struggling with doing short sides and a long top. I did some of my best cuts today, thanks man 👊🏻
That’s great!
Hey man I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of your content. Right now I’m trying to learn a bit about cutting hair and your chanel has really helped me learn a lot.
Love to hear it!
A great tutorial. Such a good work on breaking it down to make it a little easier to understand for people that want to learn. 🙌💯
Appreciate it! Definitely what I’m trying to do!
Hey Sean love your content. I’m a barber student would love to see more scissor cuts. You’re a great inspiration.
I’m recording all that I can! 👌🏻
Another 🔥🔥🔥 cut, Sean.always appreciate the work.
Thanks homie 🙏🏼
Dude this definitely helped a lot. It’s harder being left handed but the explanation was exactly what I needed.
Do it the same way just flipped!

Good job a man
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bro u so skill nice work love your channel bro educational great vides🔥👊🏽💯💥
I appreciate it 🙏🏼
This helped a lot
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
One piece of advice I’d offer is to start your block grad on the widest part of the head which is above the ear. This ensures a square shape as you cut towards the front of the head. Also, using cross graduation through the back of the head connects the two sides much better. Use cross grad in the direction the crown is flowing
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
With the way Sean is cutting the block graduation with the middle finger against the head, it doesn't really matter where he starts. Because the finger is against the head it is going to naturally follow the shape of the head. So, it really depends on the shape you are trying to create. If trying to maintain that square shape, from a top down view, he would actually need to pull his fingers off the side of the head slightly to maintain that straight line.
Hello, Im a cosmologist working hard to nail down men’s cuts. I understand graduation as building weight in the form . What is cross graduation? Does it refer to the clipper work at the back of head?
@Holly Bigwood cross graduation also known as round graduation is when you cut on a diagonal line. It maintains more length and flow towards the Partial Ridge while blending into shorter hair below. It's normally done by keeping knuckles on scalp and angeling fingers slightly away from the head. Hope that helps
@@S0N0FJACK thanks for the explanation! That helped! Cheers!
Thanks for tips 💯
Welcome!
I said before & I'll say it again, you make doing the top easy! Still waiting for that up close video on seeing the guide when doing clipper & scissor/comb 😉
I’ve been trying to show a little more of the guides!
@@Seancutshair Appreciate it!
Great vid. I started using block graduation on a few of my clients now. And it does pay off. It’s nice finishing on the fade and shape up and styling to be honest.
Have you got any vids on using thinning shears and how to use them properly?
Yeah it’s a solid technique, most people that think it’s unnecessary don’t understand what it is doing that’s different than what they do. Was hoping this video would explain that. No thinning shear videos I hardly use them but I will see about making one
Super helpful man fr
Appreciate it 🙏🏼 Glad it helped!
Love yo shit bro bro keep this shit goin 🔥🔥
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great video!
Thanks!
cool bro thank you
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
What's up brother Sean? hey man, I love ALL Ur vids. Ur style of cutting really sticks in my head, like, I really get it, but one thing I noticed, not only with you but pretty much every barber I follow. It's when u guys place the comb on to the head to locate the ridge. I understand that is done to locate where the head starts to curve. Now, I'm not a pro barber and maybe I'm wrong but what I do to locate the ridge is just use light. I just spot the area right underneath the glare created by the light, which is reflected right at the highest peak of the client's ridge. So, the bottom edge of the glare is right where the head starts to turn. just wanted to see if I'm the only one that does this.
Never heard of that but if it works have at it!
Exelente y los numeros al lado fue de ayuda 👍
Great video, thank you.
Just not sure why you do the final scissor work part where you went down the middle of the head and had short hair either side of the section you picked up?
Thank you
That’s how this process works, when you tie in zones 3 and 4 to each side it leaves a small section (zone 5) down the middle to do last
Υο Sean nice work again👉✊👈
Thank you 🙏🏼
@@Seancutshair and me thank you for all your job you share here at youtube and i learn better because i start barberschool academy and i love so much to see profesionals like you and learn better always
Genius
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice cute you no your stuff witch is good.👍👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Im gonna cut my son's hair this way , thanks!
Welcome!
Dope video Sean!! Live voiceovers 👌🏽! Did you use the canon m50 with the 24-70 lens for this video?
I have a canon eos r now
Oh ok. I just ordered the m50 with the “big dawg lens”.
I appreciate you dropping fire content. Keep up the great work! 🙏🏽 💈 🔥
@@leelongoria692 that’s a solid set up 👌🏻
Dope tutorial! Made everything easy to follow. Something that would be helpful in any of your scissor work tutorials would be to maybe take the gloves off so we can better see the sections of the hair you’re cutting
Yeah I need to start doing that I always cut them anyway lol
Looking good but, black hair dark hair, dark comb, and black gloves. Making me have to put on my reading glasses. 😂
Yeah I’ve since switched to no gloves and a white smock and stand behind the head lol
Hi brother great video and technique. Can I ask you what kind of scissors are those?
FreshShears. I have a few videos on them
@@Seancutshair can you tell me the exact model you're using in this video. I really like them
I’m definitely trying this top first technique: How would you apply this technique if they give you a predetermined length that they want off the top? Example: 2” ?
You could still set up the sides in a similar way. Then cut the top down to their desired length
Hey Sean your videos are incredible would you use block graduation all the time? Or only in certain caes? Surely you can just use it all the time obviously depending what the clients wants?
Yeah it just depends on what the client wants. Most of the time it’s a style with more length I start with block graduation. Sometimes on the shorter cuts I may just clipper over comb or start with a guard
@@Seancutshair ok cool thanks Sean x
This thumbnail had me thinking your were about to cut a black lady short style 😮💨 I’m like damn Sean really cuts hair 😅
😂😂😂
Mens cuts are my biggest insecurity and you make it look so effortless.
Thanks! Just keep at it!!
Loved the video...
Side note how did you make the Amazon list?
Just go to your account and can make a list of all your favorites!
Thanx and again I love the video
What kind of cam you using to record your vidz. Also what kind of hair dryer you using?
I film with a Canon Eos R. The blowdryer is a Dyson
Nice bro! So u set the line at the parietal ridge?
On this cut we did. You can place it wherever you want depending on the style
I have a hard time using block graduation on Asian texture, BUT contrary to popular belief the FADING part is much easier …
Thanks for the help Sean!
It is definitely tough on this springy hair!
Hi Sean, I really appreciate your "turtorials"! very helpful. coming from a Cosmotology Field , transitioning into Barbering is very exciting. however, I need to learn so much.
The Parietal Ridge is never really finished well for me. Ive tried scissor over comb, clippers etc. Fading? either high, med, low, I need advice on the first line and second line process!
Do the gloves help with grip? Also, product, there's a spray you use?
I would consider one on one class with you, if that's something available? Or if your in the North Carolina area for a training course sometime. Thank you, Bill
I have a couple step by step fade and taper videos, some of my most viewed which really break down those first fade steps. Gloves are really just to prevent hair splinters, no difference in grip or anything
@@Seancutshair Thank you!
Nice G
Thanks 🙏🏼
What do you do, if you set in your block graduation and cut the top to the length that matches the sides, and then the client tells you he wants more length off? Do you have to re-set in your block graduation shorter on the ridge? Thanks Sean!
You can take just the top shorter, the initial weight you set will still be needed to fill in the sides
@seancutshair would you suggest doing block graduation on the edgar cuts?
You could set your weight with it yeah sure
Im the beginning do you keep ur fingers on his head tight when creating box graduation or u lift of a bit?
You can do whatever you want. On this cut they’re against the head
Would it still be ok if you started with the back and sides then do the square layer after
You can do it however is comfortable for you
I call this the Yu yu hakasho cut spirit gun
Well alright 👌🏻
4:20 you can always do this? No matter the hairstyle? You can just get it to your guideline en cut the length on top to it no matter if you have a slickback?
Also, you remove lenght. Can you also not remove lengte, but still connect the top with the sides? Woth the middle natural parting en cut the sides without cutting the top. Or will it be uneven?
You can decide if you want it to connect or be longer and disconnected, connected in the back and over directed in the front, you have freedom to create what you want
What spray are you using before blow drying?
Statement grooming spray
How far back do you cut with scissors on top? Like past the upper half of the hair swirl?
From the crown forward
Everything was helpful , but in my opinion like a barber I think the right side of tapper need little bit to go more smoothly. But still looks good 👍🏼.
Appreciate the feedback
Quick question are ceramic blades worth it? To mod on clippers? Would you put one on the style craft rebel you have?
I bought into it for a minute but I don’t think it’s necessary. Haven’t used them in a while
Thanks bro great channel you have here
Hey man I think it would be cool if you wear white gloves just for us to see the dark color hair a little bit more and see what exactly your doing! Thank you!
I don’t have white gloves but I’ve started taking gloves off for scissor work
do you know how to do a proper graduation on the sides with the weight line left on the sides ?
You can do it this way or clipper over comb. I tend to always take it out more than I want to. Just so trained to have things smooth and clean.
So using block graduation what if customer wanted another length on top?
You can customize it to the lengths they want
Hey sean where do you get your barber gloves from ?
Level3 gloves
I still find myself using a comb as a guide and running the clipper up. Fast and I get the same shape. Its frustrating because I want to use this technique but it feels redundant.
You’re not understanding the difference of controlling the hair using this technique. Just running a clipper up seems to be the same but I’m some scenarios you’ll ruin all the length you were trying to leave
@@Seancutshair one hundred percent, and at times I've had cut crowns too short using block graduation 🤷♂️ #getgoodkid
I agree with you 100%
