Hello, everyone and welcome to another video from Rum Barber. I know we were planning to step back from fade tutorials this year and focus more scissor work, but we still get a lot of questions about fading, which is your preferred method. What method are you using currently and more specific questions like? How do I get rid of that first guideline? So this week I filmed two customer haircuts. I thought I could use those tutorials. Both of these cuts were filmed during an actual working day, so forgive the sometimes awkward camera angles. Both customers are growing at the top of their hair, so only required minimal, scissor work and the majority of the work was on each fade. This is the first of the two cuts and I will hopefully have the second one up soon, as my client was growing, the top of his hair and had all even getting the sides cut. There was a bit of a disconnection happening between the sides of the top. I do want to maintain a weight line in this cut, so I'm going to work for the horizontal graduation to remove length for build weight. My first section runs diagonally forward from the end of the parting. The hair is combed out and slightly down, and a horizontal line is cut about a fingers depth from the head. A second diagonal forward section is taken again from the parting to about halfway between the previous section and the front. Hairline again, the hair is pulled out slightly down and a horizontal line is cut. A third section, starting from the parting, runs diagonally forward this time to the front, hairline and hair is cut the same way. The final section on this side runs directly parallel to the parting. The hair again is pulled slightly downwards and the line is cut horizontally at the crown area. Take a diagonal back section and cut a line from the previously cut hair towards the center back of the head. Take another diagonal back section, which runs across to the opposite side of the head and cut a similar line, now repeat this process on the other side, when complete comb, all the remaining hair across and remove any excess hair that is longer than the weight line. We have created to begin the fade. I level out the surface with a number two guard working up to the weight line. Next, I create my bald guideline going up about one fingers depth above the year to bald out cleanly, I'm using my foil. I clear the majority of the area and when I get near the first guideline, I start reducing the pressure and slightly flicking out here. You can see the amount of space I leave below the guideline. I work on the hair left by the foil with my trimmers. This starts to create a smooth blend from skin to the fade. My next guide line is created using my clipper, with the lever fully open. I take this up about 3/4 of an inch now. This is what I really want to explain what I do. I always blend this area first, as many people do, but in videos it's often hard to see what is exactly going on. So if we look at this diagram, these two lines represent the second guideline created by the clapper, with the lever fully open. I usually close the lever halfway and I go right up and flick out just under the top of the guideline roughly about here, then I close the lever fully and go up two-thirds of the way in flick out so about here. The reason I take the lever, half close so high in this guide is because later you will be extending the initial lever, fully open, higher up turbit here, so that you can stretch out the blend. So this is me, starting with the lever half-closed going right up under the top line. Now, with the lever fully closed, I work on the bottom two-thirds of this area. We asked a lot about removing that initial line, so this is the method that I use a lot. I used the trimmers in a downward motion from just a little above the line that you're trying to remove. I find this removes the hair in a controlled way, letting you keep going at the line until you're happy with the blend. I also use the corners of the trimmers to chip away areas that are harder to blend. Now, with my one guard fully open, I create my next guideline, starting with the half guard fully open. I work up flick out just below where I left off the one guard open. Next, I closed the lever, half way and continue blending down. Finally, I fully closed the lever and blend out the bottom of the guide. At this point, I refine the blend by opening and closing the lever as necessary to remove any imperfections. I only really use the corners of the blade as you have greater control and can refine narrower areas again using the downwards motion this time with the foils, I completely remove any trace of a line created when using the foils initially to connect the fade to the Top length, I use a clipper or in this case a trimmer over comb technique. Here, I'm adding a line in the parting area, just as a slight enhancement, you can see the shape of the new Babyliss GoldFX, really help when doing something like this to style. I re-wet the hair and apply some Daimon Barber texture clay. I combed the clay into the hair, so it is distributed evenly and dry into style and here's the finished result. We really hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it useful. If you did, please like this, video share it with someone who might find it useful and make sure you subscribe to see future tutorials. As always thanks very much for watching, see you next time.
Comments
Rum Barber: Thank you for watching our video if you liked this, check out our video ‘How To Completely Remove The Line Created By A Foil Shaver During A Skin Fade’ https://youtu.be/E7WhM2yguU4
Mike Paolello: The amount of detail in removing that bottom line actually got me excited to try it out .. most helpful channel on YouTube
Mike Marsters: This has to be one of my favorite videos from you! The break down of the line really helped & I’m going to try that this week following your steps! As someone who has watched nearly ALL of your videos your page has been the most helpful as a new barber in the industry. Much love from Connecticut! P.S. ever thought of doing a video about blow drying techniques & which is the best blow dryer?! All the best! ☠️
Riley: Amazing video! Very eduational, one thing i find when working the 0-0.5 line closing/opening it 3-4 times (75%,50%,25%) blends more smoothly and requires less corner work, just something to try keep up the amazing content
Content Lemur: Great work and really clean fade . I advice you to use 0.5 closed,as putting the first guideline,(the length is about the same as open lever,)it will help with the speed and precision(not flicking so much).Because it feed the hair better (close lever).
Juanito Sandoval: Hey Rum barber!! As always, GREAT VIDEO!! I have a question, how long should a haircut take? Whats a good time to finish a cut to make your client not feel rushed or not have him sit too long for a cut?
Paul Cuts: I love that technique with using the trimmers on a downward motion, that makes perfect sense. I'm a new barber and will definitely try that
Dreadnought: Hi there. Just a quick question - after balding out, you put in a .5 (no guard, open) which is generally what I would do. But I noticed in another tutorial you went straight in with a 1 closed. I liked the look of this method, so I was hoping to adopt it going forward to see if my fades are cleaner. Does it make much of a difference in either of those methodologies? Thanks.
Eevee: wow i’m thankful for this video my fades always come out clean but i struggle with the bottom line
Jon Cho: Hi Rum Barber, this may just be a personal taste thing, but do you think that the sides should be tighter? Is there a specific reason you chose to leave such length on the right side of the head? Thanks!
Barber Fidel: That’s the biggest flat top comb I’ve ever seen! I like the trimmer downward motion technique; I need to try that. I also love the visual drawing. Great video! ✂️

Sweetexorcist7: Looks amazing! You definitely need more followers!

Nazia Ali: If I do a zero at the bottom, should i use 1 for the first line and 2 for the second? If so how do I blend them?
Yonanda Tholib: what's the different between diagonal section from back to front and front to back section?
Cracklydogfart: Awesome video loved it and picked up some great tips ill try out soon! Thanks
Rhys Meyer: Do you take diagonal back sections at the crown too preserve weight ?
Juan Cordova: I actually like when people leave a weight line around the head and then take it out using shears over comb with the thinning shears. I've tried it and I cannot seem to master that technique
Rhys Meyer: Why instead of taking all the hair down to connect it do you sub divide it ?
etickete `: A true master⚠️ thank you
Adrian Mercer: Hi, have you zero gapped the magic clip? Is there any tutorials you know of about magic clip blade alignment best for skin fades please? Thanks
Renato Sierra: What is the difference of using the trimmer and the foil shaver. Why not use only the trimmer or just the foil shaver? Im triying to get a haircut but I dont have both machines.
Jordan Moore: Is their usually any size of the razor for a skin fade??
Dermot Campbell: For the first initial guide line, what number are you using? 0.5?
sonat2008: Why do you bring down diagonal sections instead of straight sections? I’m referring to the beginning
