$2 for a fade in the head vs. $8 plus tip at the PX. It was worth it to me. I'd give him a $5 and it'd still be a better deal than leaving the barracks. Now my challenge is COVID-19.

I tried this out on my half dead grandad. Gave him a reverse fade down from his bald head. Looks great. He seems to like it too, his teeth have been smiling all night at me down the hall from the glass next his bed. Cheers mate.

Brain: lets go left /// Hand: Ok, to the right we go!

This is by far thee best & most easiest precise tutorial hands down on KZread. I fade my own hair & ive watched hundreds & I mean hundreds of these videos. This is by far the best by a country mile. God knows why people go to the barbers for a fade. Once you learn to be self sufficient it saves you sheds of money. I hold the mirror in one hand & hold clipper in the other

So I just attempted this and thought I'd give a report of the experience. Viewers should know, going into this, that It isn't easy. The vlogger has been doing this on a weekly basis for years, so don't expect things to go as smoothly as seen here on your first one or two tries. It will be particularly difficult if your hair is on the long side for the first cut: the hair will tend to overhang the borders you're creating and will make it harder to see what you're doing. Fortunately, hair grows back and if you didn't do a great job on your first attempt, chances are your skills will improve in the haircuts that follow.

I've been fading my own hair since I was in the military.If you learn how you will never have to wait in line at a barber shop again plus you save yourself a lot of money also.While everyone I know is either sporting a hat or having their hair woofing , I'm sporting a nice , clean fade 👍

You make putting in that 1st line look easy! As you demonstrate the key is to keep it low and give yourself plenty of room. The mistake newbies (and myself) make is putting the initial line too high then suddenly you're up on the dome. Great vid

This is probably THE best way to show someone new how to cut their own hair (in a fade). Sometimes I come back and watch just to admire the quality.

I was a military barber for 20 years. There are military barbers who are not the best at regs. Part of the reason a man comes to the barbershop is for the haircut but the other reasonnis to relax and chill out a little.

I've watched like 10 videos on how to do this and this one was the best fade with the easiest instructions. Great job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. This is the second I’ve used it to cut my husband’s hair. It is now saved for future references lol.

When I was in, I loved the barbers outside Lejeune. Speedy, nice fade, no small talk, and only $7 each Sunday. If I had a barber like that where I live, I'd no problem. But, the barbers here take way too long to cut, want to small talk, charge 13-15$ and still mess it up. Been cutting my own for years, but never skin tight. Followed this a few weeks ago and I think it would pass inspection.

This is the most clear instruction I’ve seen.

Excellent fade. Been cutting my own hair for about 25 years now and I have an adjustable hight mirror on a pole that makes things much easier.

Actually im very picky on how my barber does my fades,"he is not all that" most of the time i tell him one thing and he does another " as in does my fade way too high up" and i dont like when he constantly does that, my old barber for years did awesome fades but moved far with his family so i just ordered a wahl senior and wahl shaver and will be doing my own fades watching all these videos, this video is not too complicated and that fade came out spot on, i will come back to this video for my fades.

By far this is the easiest tutorial on how to do a fade haircut. Thanks for sharing, man. Well done!

Barbers: "we're going to make a fortune when the lockdown relaxes." Everybody else: "no more going to the barber for me, cutting hair is easier than we thought."

This was great, it will help a lot for my friend who cuts her hubby's hair!

I got a lot of compliments on my fade at work and I followed your video. Thanks devil dog!

I have been cutting my hair since early in quarantine and have played it somewhat safe (doing a 1 on the sides and 2 on top; 1.5 to blend). While I have been getting better I paid this video another visit and decided to do a bald fade. I followed these instructions exactly and it turned out pretty damn good. Thanks for the video! The best video for this kind of fade I've seen and that's been a lot. The others are either too technical or just plain garbage. Thanks again!!

What a great haircut man. Thanks for posting his video 😊💈

I've tried it one year ago because I wanted buzz cut and I'm doing myself a cut since then. I've saved so much money! Thanks man for easy tutorial! Greeting from Poland!:)

Thank you so much, I have been looking for years for a video like this

This is by far the very best video for a self hair cut that I have found on YT. It works for me, followed Tim's instructions to the letter and achieved success. Thank you Sir. Only thing I couldn't do was to secure a Wahl clipper, Amazon was out of stock ("unavailable"), so I bought a clipper/trimmer set on Amazon from Andis, model# PM-1/PM-4. $48.99 plus shipping and they work just fine. They too are now "unavailable" as was the Wahl. Guess I'm not the only one that can't live without my H & T every three weeks.

I gave myself a haircut yesterday. I tried doing the guideline but it came out crooked for me. I said "screw it" and took off the guard of the clipper and gave myself an induction haircut (for those who don't know, it's the haircut that's given to the plebes in the Naval Academy), which is the easiest military haircut of them all --no fades, no tapers, no nothing to worry about--just shave off all the hair and follow the contour of the scalp. I'll wait 3 weeks for my hair to grow back, and I'll try giving myself a haircut as in the video. I just wanna see if I can master the fade.

A good demonstration. For people who don’t have as much experience you can always start at the top with the biggest guards and work down. That way you won’t put in any lines that you need to get out.

Great job, man. Creating that temporary 'band' between the bottom section and the upper part of the head seems brilliant. It appears that you faded up into the band from the bottom shaved section using a guard shorter than the length of hair in the band but longer than the shaved part of the head, and faded the band into the upper part of the head using a guard longer than the length of hair in the band but shorter than the hair on the top part of the head. Please let me know in case I'm not understanding that correctly because fading the into both the bottom and top of the band is the biggest take home message of your haircut demonstration for me. Other videos show barbers doing haircuts and switching many guards back and forth but they don't explain much about what they are doing or why they are doing it. I think they forget what it's like to be a complete beginner. Unless I'm not understanding it correctly, you have made it very straightforward. Also, thank you for your service!

Man, you did better than most Barbers!!!

I just yolo'd this without the proper mirror set up for the back and it turned out pretty decent. Thanks for the video

Wanted to give 100 thumbs...but I've got only two😂😂😂 .... Thanks a lot

I remember doing this in the barracks. I always loved having three mirrors. Made it soo much easier to cut my own hair

I'm here because I had too many Corona 's 🍺, So just to be safe I cut my dogs hair first to test it out. And now my dog looks AWESOME !!! 🐶👍😜

Thanks. Simplest video I’ve found well explained. Gonna try this with beard clippers 👍🏻

Just tried this, I’m now bald and rocking a hat for the next 3-4 months

Semper Fi Brother. Good job. Retired Barber now, enjoying life.

Huge money saver. Great job!

At 1st I was like man that sucks. But by the time you got to the last step it was nice. I wish you could cut my hair. Great job. I'm still scared to try it myself. What the he'll it's only hair. It will grow back. Thanks

Jeez Mustafa, they're really beating you over the head. Do you go to a downtown area barber or a chain like great clips? Those prices are nearly hipster Manhattan boutique levels. I'd try going just outside of downtown to wherever the Spanish folks live and finding a Puerto Rican barber. Thanks to the dynamics of the customers and the islands ethnic makeup, your pretty much guaranteed they can cut your hair no matter the type.

You make it look so easy. You look like you have really good hair so that probably helps!

Great video , makes me laugh the way our friends from over the Pond say "off of " . lol

that visual guide with the hand how far the baseline you should cut was really helpful

Best self hair cut yet my friend 🏆

Hello I’m in cadets and we need short. I was looking and this hair cut was really interesting so I looked for a video and this is what I found. This video is awesome and so use full. This is so good I shared it with my army friends keep up the good work

Semper Fi! Great fade. After I got out of the Corps I went to Barber School on the GI Bill, had my own shop until I retired. Originally from NJ, but now living in Sunny Florida, I can't find a good Barber around here. So I cut my own hair, I give myself a Bald Fade, I love short hair. Just want to comment on the way you cut your own hair, you do an excellent job, and the steps you take are exactly what I do, really good for not going to Barber School. As we always say, "Adapt and Overcome", we can do anything if we put our minds to it. Haircuts are not cheap, even on Base. I was paying $20 here with the tip, so I'm saving a lot of bucks, and I don't have to come home and recut my hair to fix what they didn't do. Take care enjoy the Corps, I loved it. I'm taking it easy now, I'm a Vietnam Vet, 100% disabled and enjoying life. God Bless.

Best tutorial so far to do it at home the other that "teach you" have all this fancy machines you keep it simple

Just did this. Mom absolutely loves it! Haha

My clippers are on the way! We’re on lockdown for another month at least, so I figure there’s plenty of time for any disastrous mistakes to grow out. And I have plenty of hats.

Lol things we do in the military to save a dime, I still cut my own hair the same way since .....that fade is perfect .

I learnt this during lock down.....& one tip would give is to use an elastic band on your head for the first cut (guide line cut :-) .....helps alot.....from one Brit soldier to another......Cheers! this vid has saved me a few quid !

thanks for the advice bro cheers from England !
