It looks good! I've been doing my own for a few weeks now started with a four built my confidence. Went down to a 1.5 this week think its the sweet spot without being too risky.

This is like entering the world of the unknown... The one place you would never have dreamt of venturing into had it not been for the pandemic! The things we have had to do...and you were very brave attempting a haircut on yourself!

i think it came out great, im just starting, thank you, for the hope

Great job, it keeps getting easier and better.

It is not perfect, but for a first timer I'll give you a solid 8. I watch your video because I plan to buy my own hair clipper and cut my hair myself. I enjoy your video.

Solid 9, I did the same on my DIY except my wahl clippers came with instructions to go the other way. Start at the bottom with lower attachments and work up. I have cut my hair 3 times now and have to say I think the 1st cut was the best lol great video, stay safe out there.

Gotta love the confidence! Lol the barber terms... “natural part”, “baseline trim”.... very detailed step by step. Rating: 7/8, due to patchiness at the nape & sides. Otherwise, good job!!!

It's dope for a first timer

Great job Doc..the GFI outlet is for your protection while around the sink using an electric appliance. ... when you wet your hair the clippers may have tripped the breaker due to moisture seeping in the motor area...WHAL does not recommend wetting your hair using their clippers....thanks for the video.

I've been cutting my own hair now since the COVID started, some cuts are better than others, though my hair trimmers are not the best, and I've ordered some better one. Just waiting now for my hair to need another cut so I can try them out. I hope I won't need to pay for a haircut again.

Watching this before I do my first haircut too. Has watched many videos. This is quite good - short, simple and to the point.

Thanks Mike. I have been watching haircut videos. Your haircut is easy enough to do. I shouldn't have shaved my head. Oh well it grows fast. Keep up the videos. I know another dr mike.

This fading is the most hardest part and most prone to messing up. I cut all the sides and back with 4. This way we can simply fade near top of the head

Snap..we have the same clippers, they are very good and the colour coated guards really help. I would recommend buying a thinning scissors to complete your set up. I'm 2 self haircuts into it and have learned from my mistakes and looking forward to number 3 in a week or 2. Barber shop fades are beyond me. I'm going to study the top scissors cut on KZread somemore as that and the transition to the sides and back based on your head shape and type of hair is where the difficulty lies.
