Taking Tapers Too High? 😩 Try Stacking Guards and Fading Down
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'm gonna show you guys my technique for blending into length to safely come in and fade or taper underneath. A lot of us struggle when cutting into a lot of hair. We end up taking it too high and ruining the shape of the haircut. I'm going to show you guys how to stack guards and fade down to create a baseline, then come in and fade underneath. This technique should greatly help you guys keep your fades and tapers where you want them!

Fading down is a technique more barbers should get a custom with. One of the easiest ways to get that blurry look on your fades. It is a master technique.

@@shehateme9955 I'm a big believe in its not the clippers, it's the barber. You should find a clipper that you're comfortable with. I'm an "old school" barber so I still prefer the Adis masters and and the Walh's seniors. Both brands to me have a variety of clippers. Texture of hair is a point of consideration when choosing a clippers as well. The real strength is knowing what your clipper can do. And make sure you clipper has a good guard or comb system. A half guard up to at leatst to a 6 guard.
Love your honesty Bro! Some canvas can be difficult. It’s good to see even the pros have issues sometimes.

I hope barbers see this all over the country cause taking tapers too high is common. You explain this to them and they seem to understand and boom when they give you mirror, everytime it’s too high smh never fails. I only have one barber who understands what you are showing. Cut my hair for over 20 years but I moved 😟😫😩 I keep switching searching for the right barber and who understands..I want a low taper!!!!
Great tutorial...fading down method. Definitely learned alot. 90 percent of young guys coming up get the low temp fade...fade the neck our. If you can do this cut...you can pretty much master anything. Very popular cut...not an easy cut.

Hi Sean, I have a question that I hope you could shed some light on. If I am trying a technique, say a fade that’s less compacted and more stretched out…. Using predominantly 1.5 guard above/after the bald guideline… what are the guards+lever settings you’d recommend? (The reason being, is that after the bald or no guard.. the 1 guard is so hard to see when cutting my own hair… I do like the 1.5 as it’s more noticeable and easier to manage/use when doing self cuts) Thank you

I think that most barbers don't realize that a taper fade really is just that - a taper, mixed with a fade. The bottom is a fade and all of the bulk is a taper. I do something similar where I'll set in my initial (lowest) level and then my largest level - fade the bottom a little, use whatever guard is the "middle level" between the two points and taper from middle to top and then bottom (or, top of the fade) to middle.
