 What's going on YouTube? I know it's been a while since I posted a video I wasn't cutting hair that much because you know we got shut down again in the quarantine this whole covert thing You ding ding ding ding. I didn't really get to record. So now that we're back at the shop. I'm recording a lot more So I also got a new lens. I'm using it right now. Let me know like so clear This video This Katie came in he hasn't got cut in like a few months. I used to do a mohawk on him He's got like a curly top mid fade and it came out very nice. I liked it a lot He liked it a lot. So that's all that matters, right customers always right Let me know what you guys think in the comment section below and yeah What is good YouTube? I am back with another video I know it's been too long and I'm sorry for the wait guys But we back and let's get started my client he has a lot of hair he hasn't got cut since the whole Quarantine about like two months, maybe a month and a half So what I'm doing I'm just picking out the hair to make sure that I get it even cut because when you pick out the hair or you comb the hair it Makes everything easier especially with the guard that you want to use to you know Make it more smoother so it doesn't get caught on the hair So I am using a one-and-a-half guard here to take off the bulk on the side because I am gonna be eventually doing a fade So I'm just doing this to take off the bulk so I can see what I am cutting You don't have to do this I just do it because I want to see every guideline That I am doing because it makes the haircut way more smoother and the transition looks so much better when you can See what you're actually cutting. So just make sure I you don't have to use a one-and-a-half I do because you can clipper of a comb it so much easier You can use a two or three whatever is best and comfortable for you guys. I suggest that So to start off the bald line. I am to be using my baby's liners So I'm doing like a mid drop kind of ish fade So I am gonna be taking off the hooks I suggest you guys use clippers that aren't that sharp to make your bald lines because you don't want to cut them Or you don't want to you know irritate their skin I'm using these ones. I have two of these ones are my hitters and ones are the ones I make just from my ball line So I suggest you don't make your ball lines with sharp clippers and also Make sure that the the lines or the guidelines bar lines, whatever you want to do your guideline Especially make sure that they're straight you guys makes it so much easier So for the guideline, I'm gonna be using all the way open on my clipper with my magic clips wall magic clips I'm making the guideline about half an inch up to an inch It depends on how you guys want to do it. I kind of want to keep like a tight Ish blend so I'm not making it too big because I kind of want room to to make the fade and want to make it just kind of Kind of not really stretch that much, but you'll see at the end of the video how I how I did it So make sure that the guideline is straight So this part is gonna be a little bit trickier for the new barbers out there I am gonna be closing my lever all the way Clothes and I'm gonna be shaping up the hair. I'm only doing this just to see Just to clear up some space So what you want to do is that you see the hair that is hanging over you just want to go straight up You don't want to do nothing else. You don't want to just go straight up and shape the hair because You don't want to dig in too much because you could patch somebody or you can just make their shape not very you know Nice so I suggest you just you look at the head from a front angle And then you just go straight up from there just like straight up straight up That's all you got to do So on this part of the haircut right here I'm gonna be taking out that open lever that we did with for the first guideline So I am closing the lever all the way close and I'm basically doing the flick out method The flick out method is that you just use the corners and you just flick flick flick You don't want to make hard lines, especially in fades and tapers because they are hard to take out So I suggest that you do Closed halfway then open you want to play with your lovers a lot because that helps It out so much more you guys have your own Technique of blending. I have mine you guys have yours. So find your little niche and Yeah, do that So for this step, we have our number one guard on our magic clips You want to make your guideline about half an inch As soon as I get to the top of where I want my guideline to stop I flick out because I don't want to make a hard line because it can be really hard to take out So I am flicking out and as you see it's not really like a hard line up there because I did a one and a half You remember that right to take off the book on the side in the beginning of the cut So now all I got to do from there is blend up from that So I'm just making my guideline right now. Make sure that it is straight half an inch. You guys are ready Now to take off that weight up top, I'm gonna be using my one and a half The corners just to you know Take out that dark spot so it could be so much more smooth and the transition will be nice So again, I am doing the flick out method I'm flicking up into the hair because I don't want to make a hard line and also want to keep the shape So one and a half corner to take out the dark spots and we smooth y'all So for this part right here I'm using my zero guard on my magic clips to take out that last dark spot As you can see I had the lever all the open and it kind of took it out So I'm gonna be using halfway then close I am using my corners a lot, but I do it all the time especially in tapers and phase It is important to use corners. I know I say it a lot you guys It could be annoying for me saying it because you guys hear it all the time, but Just think about it when you use the corner of it You have more control of the clippers instead of using the full blade so you have more control of what you want to cut by using the edges of the blade, so Just keep that in mind you guys because This is it comes in handy especially when you're cutting hair and it saves a lot of more time Just watch you guys will know when you got me when you've been cutting hair as long as I have You start to figure out tricks to make it go faster and look nice at the same time So I know you guys are thinking why is his hair already lined up So I thought I had my camera on on this part, but I didn't so let me just backtrack and say that How to do the lineup? I'm sure most you guys would like know how to do a lineup So I don't really have to explain it, but I'm gonna do it anyways I like starting from the middle and then working my way from the left to the right or right to the left So that way it all come meet up in the middle and it just all come out straight It started instead of starting from one side if one side could be higher than the other and then it won't meet up in The middle then you're gonna have to push somebody back and that's something you don't want to do So I start from the middle then make my way from side to side So yeah, you guys and I'm sorry if my if my camera or not my camera My mic sounds a little inconsistent. I just got a new mic and I'm trying to figure out how the settings and everything how it works So bear with me you guys. Thank you So for the enhancements part, I know he doesn't need it. His hairline is already crispy But I'm doing it anyways to give that little So I am putting the enhancements the way I do line up my hair I start from the middle and then work my way from left to right I don't know what the pain is called. I think something kiss. I'm not too sure So the technique how I use my spray. I kind of pull it a little bit further back and I kind of just you know Tap it. I don't want to Make it way way too dark right here. You guys would say oh, it's a little too dark I mean, yeah, I mean, but what's the point of using enhancements if it's not gonna be dark You feel me, right? So Yeah, just make sure that the enhancement is straight and there you go The video is almost over. I thank you guys so much for watching.
