 Yo, let me focus. What's going on YouTube? I'm sorry. I haven't posted a video in a While it's been a little crazy. So I'll let you guys know I end up getting COVID and Yeah, it kind of sucked, but thank God. I'm okay. I'm healthy I'm back and I'm here to make more videos for you guys if you guys are new to the channel Please feel free to like comment and subscribe Just put that post notifications on and also You guys have any questions or if you guys want me to do a certain hairstyle, let me know so that way I can do it But uh, yes, so in this video, I'm uh, I cut the dude's hair off Another one I cut it down to like wavelength game low ball taper with the hooks crispy line up Used enhancements. I don't think I showed the enhancements in this Yeah, my camera must have died. I'm not too sure but To stay tuned y'all What's up YouTube? I know it's been a long time since I posted a video in my intro below I explained why I didn't so if you guys didn't watch my intro go back and Watch it. So so what I'm doing is on this dude as you guys can't see he does have a kind of a fro So I'm cutting it down to a I think I'm doing a number three on top. I'm doing a number three on top Make sure that I'm brushing his pattern the way it's supposed to be so I don't want a patch or anything So make sure you guys are doing with the grain also always have a comb in your hand when you're doing it And it's make sure that it is all nice and smooth So on this next part of the haircut, I'm gonna be taking a number two guard and I'm gonna be just taking the bulk Just around the ears. I'm doing that. So that way when I do line up around the ears there's not a lot of hair poking out and also It looks more cleaner when you do we take off bulk on the side because you don't want this hair And like I said poking out on the side So you kind of want everything to be laid down Nicely and accordingly especially when you do a taper so that way it looks more fresh and clean so for that Little dark spot right there. I'm to be taking my number three guard now, and I'm just gonna be blending that out We did do a number two on the side or on top with with the grain So that number three guard is just going to take out, you know the darker spots It's gonna lighten it up a lot I am using my corners and I'm also brushing down as soon as I'm swiping because When you're especially with coarse hair in this type of hair The hair is gonna be poking out as soon as you the guard gets in the hair So you want to keep brushing and then do your your strokes with the With the clipper and then you brush down again You always want to keep brushing down so that way the hair When you because it's getting laid down and when you're cutting it with the guard It's gonna keep going back up. So you want to lay it back down So we'll be doing the ball line in the back back taper. I have my my dying And this is a cordless outliner. Yes, you guys can see it is dying because it is red But hey, whatever it's gonna cut the hair still so um make sure that the ball line is straight So I am kind of doing a low wish Ball taper so I'm not trying to make my ball line too high I'm just kind of bringing it low. It's kind of funky right now. It'll come together. Trust me. So Make sure that it is nice and straight. There you guys go. So we're gonna set that first guideline with the cordless wall magic clips my favorite clippers as of recently, okay Yes, the that that first guideline is a little bit too big I Mean but we can work with it you guys, right? We can do it. Of course we can because we're barbers. We can make anything happen We're our teasts So make sure that that guideline is straight Don't make it too hard up in there. I am flicking up as I get to the top. So here we go So I did close that thing up at the bottom I'm gonna eventually go halfway then open You know, don't you know not to go past that that dark spot because we made that with an open So close it and then halfway and that's how you play with it So that way it can blend into that open lever you guys so make sure you use the corners brush down the hair a lot And you guys said so the second guideline We are doing our number one guard and we're making it about a half an inch Somebody in my recent comments was saying oh dude, that's not a half an inch. That's like two inches, man Who cares man? Yes, the cut still coming out nicely, okay, okay Just don't do the guideline two inches, but it wasn't two inches in my defense. It was not so that guy can go But make the guideline by happiness is not really making it to I mean, it's not really making like a hard line right there because for some reason His hair is darker in the back. So it's not really like that much of a hard line is shit But make sure that the guideline is straight again brush down as accordingly and yeah So we got our zero guard here and we're doing the lever all the way open just to see what that Lever or the guard is going to do so it is enlightening it up some So we're gonna continue to have the lever open and then close that thing up just to lighten up even more And that's when the blending comes in and everything, you know, so So you go open halfway close you play with the lever just don't go past that dark spot up on top You guys know this already if you guys been cutting hair for a while if you got don't go past that top because you will make the The fade or the taper go higher and higher and we don't want that So don't go above that part that dark spot and you guys should be pretty good If you guys don't go above that dark spot So we're basically gonna be doing the same steps as the back taper So I'm just want to explain that I am doing a low taper right here Because we are doing a low taper I'm making the ball line. I'm gonna arch it a little bit kind of like a That kind of curve it just so I can I can give it kind of that burst look because I am doing a low taper So I'm gonna do a lineup on the sides the little hook So it make it easier that way and also it is the foundation You know the ball line so make sure that it is nice and straight Using our magic clips right here We're using the corners to make in that guideline because in a taper you want to be very precise and using the corners Makes the haircut more precise so we are arching the The guideline we're just basically following the guideline from what we did with the ball line because so that way it can Have that burst look so we arch it a little bit and then we're using the corners because we do not want to make Well, we kind of want to You know use the corner so it makes it more archy. So We're gonna eventually end up closing it right there. Yes, we're closing it and then halfway and open Just don't go past that dark spot and you guys should be good So we have our number one guard here and now we're gonna do another guideline about The same half an inch. It's not really gonna really make a Hard line so use the corners you guys same steps as before So we'll be blending in that bottom part right there. What I just pointed with with my finger We have a zero guard. We have it all the open so We're gonna be using the corners We're blending in to basically everything what we just we did and it's gonna all come together especially after the zero guard because that is the finishing touch and Like you guys are seeing I am using the the corners It's also it's also good to move the ear around so that way, you know cut the ear done it before it sucks So this is one of like kind of like one of the most Important parts of this haircut because you kind of want this part to be perfect and when I mean perfect I mean So you want to make sure that the arch fits the taper and you also want to make sure that it is crispy and What not so I am using my My ti liners to make that a crispy line so Just if you guys don't know how to make an arch all you got to do is just really put your Index or whatever finger and it's kind of curve it boom one motion curve it one motion So I'm doing the hairline here His hairline was a little tricky I am not gonna lie because it's kind of a patchy and it doesn't really want to lay down So his hairline was probably the hardest that I've probably had to do because of Just the way that it laid down. It was really hard. I'm not gonna lie But it did come out super crispy and everything I did put enhancements in it just to make that fun finishing touch But his hairline was a little hard So this is letting you guys know that you guys are gonna encounter some hard hairlines but that's okay as barbers we can adjust and be very versatile and What not so that's that's the beauty of the industry because we can basically adjust to whatever Comes at us. So I am starting from the middle and working my way from the left to right so that way everything meets in the middle and Make sure that you guys do take your time especially on hairlines because that's like really the most important part And also a lot of people look at hairlines. That's like the main thing that they look at when they look in the mirror So make sure that it's crispy And make sure that they like it So we're gonna be doing kind of like a freehand just so I can get all the hairs that are poking out But basically This video is about wrapped up.
