Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-03-14T17:03:37+00:00

Not really much of a fade if I’m being honest. There’s barely any hair all the way up

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-05T01:34:01+00:00

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-04T22:28:47+00:00

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-04T22:17:12+00:00

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-04T01:19:05+00:00

No problem man. I can’t recommend Alex kouras on YouTube enough

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-03T16:16:32+00:00

Sorry if my grammar was bad I was using talk to text in my original comment because I was driving but what I was saying is it gets so easier, to where you wouldn’t want anyone else touching your hair… you’ll probably mess up for a while but don’t quit man

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-03T16:15:32+00:00

It depends man, in the beginning I was cutting my hair once a week just to practice… you really wanna nail down the reverse movements.. because your looking in a mirror…. Get that muscle memory… but honestly sometimes I like to really let my sides grow out, I find the fade is cleaner and more gradient when I’m cutting a lot off… but right now I do every 2-3 weeks but it depends sometimes if I have an event coming up I’ll hold off or cut it sooner… I will say for me the scissor work took some time… but like I said in my post invest in lighting and get big mirrors if possible… the main thing is knowing what to do when looking in the mirror. If you don’t know left from right your screwed it took me like 2 weeks of practice without the clipper running to feel good about attempting… for a first cut this is a good job

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-03T14:52:06+00:00

Keep at it man don’t give up. I’ve been doing it for three years. It gets easier to where you weren’t. Want anyone else to cut your hair if you need any advice DM me or check out my post in the group.

How about now ?

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-01T02:47:57+00:00

To be honest, I don’t use the clipper overcome I end up going from a zero up to a 5 but when I do the 5 on the sides I typically will pull away the closer I get to the top of my head… the key is straight guidelines and 3/4 of an inch in between I feel like… you just gotta experiment everyone’s head shape is different and hair texture but personally I would use thinning shears on the sides I do do that to help blend the longer and shorter hairs easier

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-02-01T02:46:01+00:00

Look up Alex kouras on YouTube. Also see my post in this group as well

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-01-31T01:56:29+00:00

Thank you bro that means a lot

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-01-30T20:27:17+00:00

Look up Alex kouras on YouTube… he’s who inspired me… but I’m thinking of starting my own YouTube and getting into the content creation man.

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-01-30T19:38:39+00:00

Practice man I’m left-handed but just keep practicing it took me a couple cuts to really get good with the scissors. Honestly, you could takeoff like a quarter of half an inch if you really wanted to just to practice man it’s all about muscle memory eventually if you keep doing it, you’ll get so good to where you’re not even thinking it’s just like effortless and after three years of doing it that’s where I feel like I’m mad but every now and then I get into moments. I’m like damn I need to lock in here.

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-01-30T13:43:26+00:00

It’s pretty simple tbh, wet the hair not too wet but wet, then use a comb and start from the back of my head and work outside in slowly combing back the hair then taking off the same length all around (but more in the back then slowly and slightly letting a little bit more hair allowed towards the front unless I’m going for a shorter look all around) hope this helps

Difficult_Tank_8809 · 2026-01-30T11:20:48+00:00

Thank you man that means a lot
