In this video we're going to cut the top down with the number zero and we're going to give him a hot taper on the side in the back. Also, if you haven't already be sure to subscribe to our Channel we're doing a 50k subscribers giveaway so make sure you subscribe and without further ado, let's get into the video the haircut that I'm going to demonstrate for you guys in this video is a quick 15 Or 20 minute haircut tutorial, this is your bread-and-butter. Haircut is just a simple zero on top with a taper on the sides and in the back, we're gon na start out by creating a bald guideline all the way around the head - and this is gon na - be a hot taper by the way. So if you have a little cousin or a little brother or just somebody that will let you cut your hair, that will let you cut their hair your beginning. This is the perfect haircut to start out with. So this is the only guard that we're going to use throughout this entire video is a zero guard and the liver is fully closed. So all we're doing is just cutting the hair with the gray and we're cutting it to a nice, even Lynn notice how I'm letting the Clipper glide I'm not really just forcing it onto his head, I'm just letting it contour and, as always, be careful in the Crown area before you cut the crown area once it then I can give you guys is take a moment to comb the hair and look for any swirls, because if you see any colleagues or any swirls, you could potentially gap the area. If you don't know how to cut it, so when you're doing a haircut like this always take time to comb the hair first and take your time in this area, everyone has a swirl in the top of the in the crown of the head, but notice. I'M just taking my time and just combing the hair and them and then going with the Clipper alright. So here we're going to take the wall edges with the lever, fully open and make our guideline you're going up about an inch here. You see me knock down the lever fully close every beginning to blend out that guideline. You see me open the lever once again, you see me open it up one more time, so opening up the liver twice that should remove. That should burn out there and sorry your bottom guideline and of course you can go back and do some lever play. But for the most part, opening and opening deliver twice will get the line out, and while I have this clipper in my hand, I'm just gon na go ahead and repeat this step around the entire head. I'M not doing anything different than I just did from the left side. I'M just repeating the exact same steps as you can see. I open it twice. Just like I opened it twice on the left side, I'm going to repeat the same thing on the right side of the head. Okay, so here we take the zero guard again and the lever is fully open. So remember we did a zero closed on top. So a zero open should blend right into that. Zero closed he's even knock down the lever, and then I opened it about half way, so I did a zero close on top. I started out when I was beginning to blend. I started out with a zero open that should blend and serve the zero closed, and then I open the lever halfway to go in between the zero open and zero closed. And now all I'm doing is just taking the Clipper with no going on and just flicking at them line, and that should lend everything together. If I just confuse you guys just rewind it just a little bit and you'll get exactly what I'm saying all I'm doing now is just using the corner of the blade to get a certain dark spots and at the back of the head, I'm going to repeat The same as X tips, this is the zero open putting it into that zero closed. Okay. Now you see me close the lever all of the way. Okay, and now I'm going in between the zero open is zero closed. That'S all it is guys. This is the only guard necessary for this haircut and then, once again, I'm just taking the Clipper and with the lever, fully open, no guard and just flicking at that line, I'm just removing any dark spots that I see so you may see me open it up. Close the lever as needed and if you haven't figured it out by now, guess what we're doing the exact same steps on this side, the same thing that we did on the left and the right in the back side we're gon na doing this right side. So, that's that's really the simple rule, guys whatever you do some one side, you doing some sighs. I think that's where some people get, they get lost a haircut. Sometimes it's just once you have a method. Just follow those steps around the entire head. That'S all you have to do and remember practice makes progress. The more you practice these guys, the better you'll get the better you'll get you'll just you'll start to see the difference in your hair clips. I said this in other videos, but you can watch haircut tutorials. Every day, but until you get clippers and trimmers in your hand and actually do the work, you'll never actually be able to do the haircut at an elite level. So my advice to you guys it's practice as much as you can. But what I'm about to do right now? This is just some treasure. Man hold it spray, I'm just about to lay his hair down, and this is just some wave mousse now all I'm doing is just brushing it in to lay the hair down he's still using my blow-dryer to hold it in place. Now he has a naturally high arch over his ears, so I don't even have to really stretch it or you know, push it hot or anything like that. It just it's already hot, so just natural little edge it up notice. I keep they calling my hand to keep coming out any of the fly hair just so I won't stick over his hairline. Remember guys to keep everything natural try to find that balance point between natural and sharp. You want a straight line. Just you don't want to take off too much hair stuff. The garden rule that I have is take off at least hair as possible, get in the line as that straight as possible, and if you feel like you're getting bear. You other disguise.
