[Samita1029]

[jjonesjr17]

is it possible to do a good bald fade with wahl clippers

[jesussanchezcano]

Todo ese rato para ese corte de pelo y cuantas maquinillas usas??? Y Lo mejor cuanto le has cobrao??? No me gusta

[sheritacloud]

@larry37m its easier to get thos hair cut if you go to a black barber

[Larry37M]

I want to get a haircut like this but I am afraid they will screw it up, I usually just go to Great Clips or that type of place, is it better to go to a real barber or is this something anyone who cuts hair can do?

[lilsk8er813]

@Larry37M great clips is horrible for that kind of stuff

[PARRALTX]

orgasmic!!

[vaded818]

Thumbs Up if u wanted to fade your friends after watching this video!!

[eddysevenfold]

[Nathan2345678]

Would any barber i go to be able to do this?, because i want to make sure i get it done properly

[rosalinda8062]

nice video im learning how to cut hair but the girl that is teaching me doesnt cut as good as you but im truying my best to learn i have 1 month and i can do the normal fades nice tutorial video

[murfreesborobarber]

Al, love the video man. I go to school with some guys who attended your instructional class in Chattanooga, TN and heard nothing but good stuff man! I'm gonna watch your videos and I thank you for sharing what you do with us future barbers on youtube. Much love.

[drellydrell1]

Different clippers leave different cuts and what if one breaks, and its good to learn to cut with all clippers

[palmbeachvato]

Is it necessary to have different clippers?

[barcode477]

can anybody tells me if i can be a barber only for men not both men and women plzzzz

[alsmillions]

@barcode477 When you learn how to cut, you can decide whom you prefer to cut. The more you learn, the more you'll want to do all types of hair.

[keytone62]

@barcode477 Yeah, you just simply say, you cut men hair only! Simple!

[cristy603]

i loved this modelo please giveme the telefone.....numero...my name is y olanda...muahhhhkkkk

[spanishfly66]

nice fade for real , its looking good , i was shown to do fades from the largest number all the way down to 0 , saves moer time and i find you keep a better control of what your doing , im just saying !

[texmex375]

you need to be one with the machine to be a good barber, well thats what i think.

[JMCruz29]

No offense but I wouldve had that lineout in 5 min it took too long and there were heavy dark lines uptop by crown area....u shouldve jus the masters the fade thru...I like the 76rs but not for fading

[kissem456]

im bomb at bald fades:)

[drksyde72]

Passed my written exam a couple of months ago, going for my practical next month...my question is... do you think its possible to complete a bald fade with only the 76's or should you always incorperate your Andis Masters?(nice job by the way)

[alsmillions]

@drksyde72 If you have the right blades you can do a skin fade with the 76.

[missmexicoo]

I had such a hard time with the blending, the guy i was fading just went bald. and im a girl in cosmetology school and i felt so bad!

[alsmillions]

@missmexicoo Be sure to join my training sites. See my home page.

[IlIJAYIlI]

@missmexicoo HAHA that cracked me up glad i dont come to you:)

[rowin09]

i tried this and i failed

[weirdeyez]

I was just reading the comments and seen where you happened to get into a dialogue with Epic the barber. I seen your comments and I was just wondering what Epic the barber said to you that caused you to say what you said sir.. If you removed it then I understand.

[greenman709]

That's a high and tight.

[larryallen1]

[rawfood777]

YOU HELP ME ALOT BROTHER KEEP PUSHING PEACE

[alsmillions]

@rawfood777 I'm glad I could help.

[Ernestine49A]

Thanks for the help. I am currently in Barber School in Flint, MI. They've given us the Andis Styliners and the Andis Masters. When doing a bald fade I cut the bottom half instead of the way most barbers do it. I'm having problems getting the line out though. Using the Styliners won't mess it up?

[DomBarber]

very smart "sir"

[charlsyboy]

I always knew how to do a bald fade but after watching your videos, it only helped further educate and guide me through and build on what I already kind of new... I enjoy the atomosphere at the barger shop and how I feel when I leave it but when times are tough and you wanna look clean and still get the pro results, man, you gotta do what you gotta do and I am sporting a bad ass fade, thanks for the tips!

[alsmillions]

@EpicTheBarber Again, I help more people than anyone else. Don't tell me what I should be doing when you aren't doing anything.

[alsmillions]

@EpicTheBarber Lazy? I've given away more than any other barber out here. I'm not about to take him step by step over the internet (That wasn't his only question). Why don't you contact him and show him the ropes since you're so energic and know so much.

[bmitchell309]

would you perform this same technique on more curly or coarse hair?

[bibb72]

cool

[dopeboyfre5h]

nice work man. i tip my hat off. is that 1/32 guard on the masters an andis guard? whats the best guard for the 1/32 because the red ones always break. and where can i get them online? let me know. thanx in advance.

[danrod2010]

what fraction is the #1 considered, like is it a 1/32 or 1/16 something like that, and what is a #2 considered and what does 0A or something like that

[alsmillions]

@danrod2010 Man you're going to need to get some class instruction and I can't do that here.

[VOLXOM1]

VERY NICE BROTHER ; )

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, NOW I'M GONNA TRY TO CUT MY HAIR

[breal0297]

how do you keep Andis Masters from running hot???



[alsmillions]

@breal0297 Use your spray coolant and speed up your cuts.

[niveaskin1]

It's in the wrist action most of all and practice

[niveaskin1]

The wrist action is important as long as u have a good blade ..it's all in the wrist

[mattix771]

i can do the same fade in less time with one setting ... and it looks pretty close to that guy

[alsmillions]

@mattix771 Good for you.

[raidhanna1234]

whats this 1 , 2 stuff? the combs alll say 1/16 ,1/8, 1/4 etc. someone xlplain plz!

[AfroNigerianMan]

@raidhanna1234 its a numerator designation with the denomintor is 8. So a "1" is a 1/8, "2" is a 1/4(2/8) and so on bro

[ChetoDaTruth]

Is it possible to do a bald fade like this with just the classic 76??... What blade size should u use to get the line out instead of the T-liner?

[ZaquiNirvana]

I love fade haircuts but as I grow older I'm thinning out on my forehead so this haircut isn't going to help me cover it. Plus my hair is wavy so, what I do is get a fade and on top cut with scissors.

[esmallz305]

u got ur shit on lock thanks for taking the time to show all steps.

[stanleyhutchison]

is the 1A low then the 1?

[alsmillions]

@stanleyhutchison A 1A is higher than a 1 and lower than a 1.5

[SWAGMATIC718]

@alsmillions how do you get a 1a with the andis fade master

[alsmillions]

@SWAGMATIC718 Use a 1/16 guard in the closed position.

[SWAGMATIC718]

@alsmillions thanks Al

[spartan4lyfe98]

It's the 2-- 1 1/2-- 1A-- 1--0A--000

[stanleyhutchison]

thxs soo much! for run it down to the T

[elgoose2003]

what kind of mchines do i need to do a complete fade can you tell me the names so i can buy 2 diferent ones

[alsmillions]

Andis Master, Andis "T" Outliner and The Oster 76 with #2, 1.5 and 1A blades. Or the cheaper way. Just buy Speed-O guards (The whole set) for the Andis Master and don't worry about the Oster 76 now,

[stanleyhutchison]

thxs! what lower then a 1? 000? if so whats lower then a 000? 0000?

[alsmillions]

0A,0,00,000,0000

[TraumaER]

i wish we had a barber like this in my area; all we got are those SuperCuts white barbers that can't fade for shit; trust me i tried many of them LOL!

[82tommylew]

[TANKone1]

I Throw On A (1/2") Guard In Closed Position To Blend With Wahl Senior Pro

[Bythenose305]

I must say that I've seen a lot of barbers and everyone is different. The way you make the two line's is just a good way in order to work in a minimal amount of space, not going over or to high when blending. It seems just by watching whenever you reach that top line, its much easier to blend in. Thanks Al, best wishes and happy holidays!

[icecreamangel1]

Hey Its ur girl! How much do you charge for a fade? i wanna see if im under charging ;)

[alsmillions]

I start at $15.00, razor lines and face is extra

[EastBaydestrian510]

wat size did u use on the sides ? a 0?

[obesejim]

My nigga. I have got to hand it to you. Your bald fade videos are excellent and they have taught me a whole lot. Now I'm able to complete a perfect bald fade on myself and the bitches love my new style.

Thanks Al! =)

[EastBaydestrian510]

hahaha

[obesejim]

I'm actually serious. Don't be fooled by my nick name :-)

[bobfather8]

Is it just the blade that matters? From what I found, the trimmers that are favored for line ups have a 1/150 blade on them ( like the M3 and Outliners). The ones for everything else have a 1/125 blade.

[bobfather8]

you said that you need two different trimmers....one for outlining and one for kids/necks. Do you just buy 2 Andis T-Outliners and put different blades on them or do you buy 2 different trimmers. If you buy two different trimmers, what do you like? Whats the best for outlining to get super close and have crisp lines?

[alsmillions]

The Andis M3 or Styliner ll are both good trimmers for sharp line ups. The wahls Detailer is also a good work horse and can be used on adults and kids.

[AllstarboyzTV]

what the best clippers for fading????

[alsmillions]

I like the Andis Master

[peplife09]

whats the best way to get that line out?

[verbalassasin303]

this is different than what i see and do but still a clean fade!!! nice work!

[sunnydizzle79]

so nice!

[schan3]

Waddup fam...using the andis masters what does the 2nd position mean?  Is it the second notch from the closed position or the middle notch?

Thanks!

[alsmillions]

Correct! The second notch from the closed position.

[Lismetdetu]

Thank You!!

[rodriguez900]

nice relaxing music

[THECUTTINGLOUNGE1]

GREAT FADE

[TheCfamily09]

Hey Al this fade is on point.I have the Oster Fast Feed but I can never get the line out of the fade like you did in this vid..Is it the clipper or is it something im not doing?

[alsmillions]

You might need to adjust your clipper to cut closer. Unscrew the 2 screws and adjust your blades so that inner blade is a little lower than the outer blade. Or half the thickness of your fingernail. Tighten the screws and you should be able to remove your lines. Also you can use your liner to help you remove the line by brushing lightly over it.

[mreverywhere01]

whats a blended fade ? and can you get it not so close ?

[noxzx7r]

What type of 1/32 gaurd did you use. Im trying to find one and the only one i can find is the speed o guard one. Ive gone through 2 of those in the last 3 months. Your videos are and cuts are tight!

[alsmillions]

It comes in the Andis clipper guard kit. Sometimes you can find them by themselves. They are thin and black, almost flat and they only fit the Andis Master. Sometimes you have to adjust by hand or plyers so they stay on better. I always hold the back of mine to make sure it doesn't pop off.

[alsmillions]

Oh yea, blade has a #1 on it also.

[richhustle]

i just ordered the fade master, waitin for it to come in the mail, how do you like it

[alsmillions]

I love it. You've made a good investment and you'll see how much time you'll cut off of your skin fades. You"ll also get a guard for regular cutting. Enjoy
