 Was popping YouTube how y'all doing today? We are back. What another video so this client of mine man this kid He hasn't got cut in like five months or something like that. He was growing us out in the back So that's why it's longer in the back But he what he had a mohawk or a mullet before now. We're just trying to bless him You see as you can see I did wet his hair Just so I could be able to comb it out because his hair was kind of you know all messy and everything So what the hair we're combing it out to see how it hangs and everything like that. So I Didn't really know how to attack that hair I had asked somebody for help because he wanted like a crop top type thing. So I got some help. So what I am doing is I am Parting the hair at the pride or ridge if you don't know what the pride or ridges is at the top of the head Kind of unlike where your temple is at just parting it out right there So that way I can just take out all the bulk that's on the side and then later on come in with my Shears and it's blend everything to the side. So make sure that's your parting is straight as it can be mine's not too great But you know I got it straight as I can get it and you want to do it on both sides And then we're gonna eventually come in with the clipper over comb and just take off all the bulk on the side So as you see the hair is clipped up and parted So now we have our clipper comb and we're just gonna take off all the bulk we can possibly do I'm not going too high Because I want to leave bulk on the top top just so when I do have my Shears I can blend into that pretty easily So I'm not using the guard right here because his hair really is long. It's really really long So I feel like if I would just had a guard my clipper would just got jammed and you know How that be I don't know if you guys ever cut long hair before but it It gets jammed so I'm just taking my clipper clipper comb and I'm just having at it Just taking as much bulk as I can without taking the top bulk off and you can continue this throughout the entire head Now that you got the bulk cut down on the side. I'm gonna come in with my shears I'm gonna take off quite a lot. I'm gonna take off about like maybe two inches. Maybe yet Maybe three. I'm not too sure. I'm just cutting off a lot of the hair on top Just make sure you start off With the guide and then follow that guy throughout the entire hair. I'm not the best at sheer work. So Please bear with me when it comes to sheer work because I'm not the greatest at it I'm a student of the game just like y'all. So, you know, my cuts aren't always perfect I'm far from perfect when it comes to cutting hair. So again, I'm a student of the game just like y'all So I'm learning as I go just make sure you follow your guide throughout the entire hair As you can see that when I do comb the hair back there is shorter on one part follow that guy throughout the entire head so now for the blending part we have our Balders our trimmer's here. We have the wall hive is I was lucky enough for wall to send me these clippers and let me tell you that these these hip These are one of my favorite liners. I have not stopped using them ever since but Yeah, man. Thank you guys. Thanks wall for so much for sending me these liners, man I'm telling y'all man. Yeah, I get to get a pair of these man for real So we're doing like a mid drop fade maybe like a low fade without the hook. So I'm just making my ball line kind of low Starting out the temple and then dropping it down Underneath the occipital bone because I don't want it to be too high in the back So you want to make sure that the ball line is straight and it goes around the entire head So you can follow this process on the other side of the head is make sure it's all connected evenly We are gonna set our first guideline with our wall magic clips I'm having the lever all the way open. I'm setting my guy line about an half an inch possibly an inch I'm not too sure when it comes to those sizes. I'm gonna say probably about like half an inch maybe almost an inch make sure that the Guideline is straight and when you do eventually come in when you do bald out You just want to have that set guideline and you don't want to go past That open lever when you do close open and halfway when you play with the lever So just make sure when you get to the top part of where you set your Guideline you want to flick out because you do not want to set a hard line. I I've learned this plenty years of me cutting hair when you set a hard line. It's hard to take out. So and That's a major major thing when it comes to new barbers They try to make the the guideline really really straight and they just make a hard line So try not to do that you guys So now that we have our open lever Guideline we're gonna have a closed lever and take out that ball line And you do not want to go past that open lever guideline. You want to keep it right then and there That's the point of these guidelines so that way you don't go higher and higher and higher So we have closed lever to take out the ball line use the corners to take out any dark spots It's necessary. You want to play with your lever a lot depending on the hair you want to You just want to play with the lever Luckily he has really light hair on the side So it doesn't really take that much to take out the line, but some hairs do but for this hair use a lever Close halfway open and then also use the corner of the blade to take out any dark spots necessary So now we're gonna set our other guideline with the one open and you see I'm Setting it in and I'm flicking out right where I want to stop the guideline at so that way I don't make a hard line again try not to make a hard line. So I'm making it about an inch to an half an inch and when I get to the top flick flick flick It might take some time to get used to this type of technique when you flick out like that because some barbers might be scared to like Oh, man, I don't want to go too high and patch them So just make sure you have a good touch with it feather it out and just just flick it out We have our zero guard here And when you use that zero guard to blend into that number one guard that we just made that guideline with So we have the lever all the way open use the corners to pick out any dark spots As you can see if it doesn't take it out then close it up Just a little bit to halfway and if that doesn't do it then close it up all the way use the corners of your blade This doesn't have to be perfect You're just taking out all the dark spots you can see and when you get to the detail work at the end of the haircut You'll be able to see what it is and you can just play with your levers and just fix it up as you can go So now that we have that all blended out I'm using my clipper comb just to create a shape I'm not digging into the hair. I'm kind of when I get to the top I'm kind of angling out my comb just so that way I'm not digging in and I mess up the shape the shape is the most important part for these you know texture tops or crop tops whatever you want to call it it is the most important thing because Everybody wants to shape right when it comes to this because if not, then it doesn't look fluent. It doesn't look even so by creating a good shape creates the entire haircut So I have my one and a half guard here and I did see some dark spots So I'm just using the one and a half just to lighten up that dark area that I didn't get with the clipper comb So I have my one and a half using the corners and I'm just flicking up up up And I'm kind of blending into that top portion of the bulk right there I'm not digging in so I'm just flickering out using the corners of my blade just for the detail work So now I'm gonna come in with my blow dryer and just dry out the hair kind of textures a little bit or style it I have a diffuser if you guys don't know what a diffuser is you go into a salon I don't know if you guys ever been in one But you know how you sit in that chair and you see underneath that little dryer thing with a little No circle thing over your head. That's a diffuser. So now it's just in there with a hair dryer I'm trying to texture as much as I can. I'm not too great when it comes to these cuts So you guys have to pair with me when it comes to it. Like I said, I'm a student of the game I'm learning just like y'all I learn as I go But I feel like this would have been good for a YouTube video and some content So I did it and I hope you guys like this video.
