Self Cut Curly Hair Taper Tutorial! (How To Cut Your Own Hair)

What'S up guys, Austin wants to be back here with another video and today, as you can see, I'm looking looking a little rough in this video we're going to go ahead and do a tape on the sides and the back and do a lineup and all that Without further ado, I'm gon na just get into the stuff you need so first off you're gon na need some type of flipper to fade with, and I would recommend this wall magic clip, because this is cordless so like when you're doing the back, you can have It cutting and you don't have to worry about the corrigan way you can just move it freely and all that in the battery lasts a long time and like it cuz to me it's powerful as a clipper with the court and then to line yourself up you're. Also gon na need a liner clipper, like the TL on it, which I'll recommend on both these are available on Atlanta bar supply. Calm. That'S where I get all my Clippers. From now on, I'm gon na leave a link down in the description to their site. They have some good prices and all that probably the best I've seen out of all the sites, including like Amazon, and all that, because they'll be having like sales and stuff also you'll need two mirrors: one: a wall mirror and also a hem here. So you can get the back of your head, be mixed up, you'll need a set of guards and also a comb or brush to brush out your hair, while you're doing the cut. Last but not least, is some alcohol or some astringent. So when you get through with the cut, you can just spray like that, all the way around your head so like it prevents bumps and like cleanses the entire areas like that you'll end up and cutting, and all that. So it's just like practicing good sanitation, and so you don't break out and bumps around like where you lined it up, since the skin gets irritated, sometimes, and all that also optional, as the couldn't Cape. So you don't get hair all over you down in the description. I'Ll leave the list to all the things I just mentioned without further ado. Let'S get into the clip alright, so right here we're gon na start. The saw taper lever close to watch out at the bottom and we're deliver open right above that and then we're gon na start that liver closed with the corner of the blade and slowly open it as we go up, so we can blend them two together and Then we're gon na pin up the hair and use the 1/8 card open and then close it below that to start our first guideline and then later on, I'm gon na go back in with the 1/16 below that to like being lever opening the 1/8. But right here we're taking the to guard and we're basically just trying to flick out into the top hair, but later on, we're gon na have to go back in with the 3 guard, because the two guard it wasn't long enough to blend it to the top. So yeah just take yours home with this. You don't have to be in a rush because there's like the more time you take on your hand like getting it right, the better it's gon na look and all that so yeah right here after you get through doing all the steps you want to go back In and repeat some of them to like make it smoother and stuff and then same thing for the other side, we're just gon na do lever closed. Then lever open, then blend them. Two together then do 1 8 open. One is closed. Then go with the two guards right about that: try to flick out until your top here and if your top hair is too long, go up to the 3 or 4. You know use that to blend out to the top then come in with the 1/16 card. At the bottom, to like finish it up and are there and that's basically all the steps like once you know how to do that. You know how to fade. You know every haircut like capers or boldface, all that they're all fading they're, just in different areas and different links, and all that so yeah and also remember to always like once. You put it in the guyline, then start using the corner of the blade to take out the guidelines, because, if you use to hold the whole entire blade, they'll just put in extra guidelines and stuff all right, so yeah dude the same detail. Work like you did on the other side, with this side, and also I cut down my front hairline. While I was doing this because, like my hairline in the front, gets bushy, and so if I cut it down that looks more sharp at the end, but yeah for the back is basically the same steps I just did the I just do them in a different Order, basically, to make it easier, since the back is really hard right here. It'S the number two guard and trying to flick into the top. I think later on I'll go back in with three, but yet the number two guards then right here we're doing lever closed. Then, above that, we're gon na do lever open and blend them two together, just like we did in the front in the back. You really got to take your time, because this is the hardest part like having told to music. Let'S try to see it and angling. The Clipper right, like all that into one it just takes a lot of time and practice, and all that just to get it right and then right here we did the 1/8 open just like we did it in front then right here you see how I in Goes the Clipper horizontally to the head that basically, like makes the guidelines come out easier, but just don't go too high, just go in the area like a guard above it, and this should be good and like help you take out the guideline when you get to That step so yeah, that's one that I learned from a barber or someone. A barber told me about someone in the shop who does that he's been cutting for like 40-something years so yeah. He uses that and I've learned that it really saves time and like helps you blend easier. So I try that when you first start blending and then you always want to wipe it off and like go back in and check any steps that could make a smoother or anything so yeah, basically the best way to get a clean cut. Out of all of this is to go back in detail like the beginning steps. They will not get you a clean cut. You always have to go back into detail. That'S how you get the cleanest cut possible. It'S by repeating your steps and like making sure everything and all the guidelines is out so yeah right here, we're using the three-guard again just a flicking to the top, as you can see how long it took on the back, I'm still working on it. So the back is probably gon na. Take you the longest out, if anything so yeah right here, we're just detailing again like going in with the 1/8 guard and like like doing the horizontal thing and also like using the corner of the blade to like try and get the blend more smooth and all There then right here we got the 1/16 card and also we're gon na do liver open. I believe this is liver, open and we're just trying to take out any of the bottom guidelines so yeah. Now that the blend is pretty much done, we're gon na go ahead and start lining out the back. Just don't push it too far end well, you can see my face in the mirror. I was too focused, but um yeah, just and sometimes like when you start learning it up, you'll, see or you're about to start lining up right here I saw some dark spots and stuff and I tried to soften it up some later on. I'M i'm not sure. If i was recording or not, but i took out like you see by the ear where it gets real dark, i went back in with the guard and made it lighter and more transitional right there, but yeah same thing for this side. Just don't push it too far back and also remember, to use the corner of the blade like when you go around the ear or else you'll get like not a round shape. You'Ll have to use the corner of the blade just to get that round shape around the ear. So now we're about to bring it around to the front just finish: the corners like behind the ear and stuff and then we're just gon na pin up the hair and then brush the hair down and about to start the front line up so yeah I'll recommend. Starting in the middle, but if you got a certain type of hairline like where it come like recedes in the corners, I will start at the corners because it was a barber dude. He told me like starting at the corners. If you have weird checked corners or like one side is lower than the other, you have to get the corners even first and then connect it. But I mean it's really up to you. Whatever works best for you, whatever gets it straighter and like it's more efficient to you, just find out what works for you and use that method. But for me, since my hairline is pretty like straight across, I can just start in the middle, but right here, here's something I didn't mention in the beginning. These are hair, fibers and they're, basically like filling light spots in your hairline and stuff. So I'll put some of them on there, since I'm going out that night I'll go ahead and leave a link down in the description for anyone who wants to pick up some like if you've got a special occasion coming up, you want an extra sharp lining, but Yeah to me, they don't last that long. I have an upcoming video on airbrush kiss Express dye on your hairline, and this lasts about a good, three or four or five days, so yeah that video coming soon turn on notification, so you're notified when I put that out so right here, we're just gon na Finish up the front lining and also use a paper towel or a cotton pad or whatever it's called to clean off the extra hair fibers on the head and then we're just gon na sprayed it with some holding spray. So the hair fibers stay on there longer and then we'll be done. Alright YouTube this the finish cut as you can see.
