    I’ve been cutting my hair religiously ever since the pandemic started, and I’ve became pretty decent at it. But now after following this tutorial exactly, I swear today I gave myself the cleanest fade ever.

    When you go to school you pick up on haircutting habits. Being a garage barber already having a feel for blending I not only became a certified barber but I took my skills to a new level. Sometimes when you never cut hair and go straight to school bad habits are hard to break. You can tell when you only learned just in school and never cut hair before. Bad habits are like this barber and I seen alot of students at school doing the same thing. When you use your 0 to create a starting line you have to take out the bulk at the beginning when creating that starting guideline. You can tell when you only started cutting at school. These habits are bad habits.

    I want this same haircut but with a low skin fade I like the design to that’s dope.

    That's a sick.fade but interesting to see that you blend in reverse of other videos that I've seen. They start with the blade open and close it as they go. I'm gonna try this way next time.
