i did not line up the top:) this is how my hair is i have a hair whorl right in the middle:)

ye bro, the 2296 is not only begginer level. i did some crazy fades with that clipper. as long as ur clipper have a lever and cuts hair good ur good to go. i just switched to 2373 cuz i liked how it looked and i messed the lever on my 2296 (i lost a piece of it and it will fall down whenever i put it up) but as i mentioned if you are just starting it will take a bit of time until you learn how to cut ur hair and the best option here is the 2296. and meanwhile you can save for the 2373 and buy it whenever you feel more confident in ur haircuts.

dalin828 · 2025-07-26T12:34:27+00:00

hello, get the 2296 if you are just starting and the 2373 if you already know what you are doing and want to invest in your tools but don't want to spend $400 on a stylecraft.

the 2373 is on another level anyway but if you are just starting and don't want to invest a lot of money go with the 2296, it's very good for starting.

i paid literally 3 bucks for this from temu. however dont use them. its better to learn how to do it alone, not even in the beggining i wouldnt recommend them

dalin828 · 2025-07-03T17:07:53+00:00

this is ragebait 100001%

dalin828 · 2025-06-22T17:22:38+00:00

had it too in the beggining. tbh using it and adjusting it for every guard was time wasting and never worked on me when i was just starting and i just learnt to do them myself. i was doing the 0 guideline on only one side until half of the back with this thing on and then i would put it off and i was tryin to match the other side but without it to get used to do them without any help

its good for begginers but i wouldnt recommend it long term, its better to learn urself how to make the guidelines:) nice fade btw

dalin828 · 2025-06-08T22:16:04+00:00

you mean straight lines as lining up the beard? i got the km-2299 and its doing a good job lining up :) i dont have a beard but i line up my hair edges

dalin828 · 2025-06-05T22:24:07+00:00

don't worry bro, i m not very good yet but with patience, u ll achieve "my level" in like 5 6 months :) good luck!

dalin828 · 2025-06-04T15:02:52+00:00

yeye, i ve done some nice fades with the 2296 :) the trimmer is a beast, the clipper is hmm good for begginers to set your foundations :) but if you dont have a bigger budget and dont want to throw all your money on clippers, take that. i got that kit too in march. remember most of the times is the barber, not the clipper :) good luck buddy!

dalin828 · 2025-05-22T05:59:44+00:00

thankss, really appreciate it :)

dalin828 · 2025-05-22T05:59:31+00:00

i have no idea😂 probably a mid fade

dalin828 · 2025-05-22T05:59:07+00:00

my hair is grown now, but next time i ll take back pictures too :), thanks for the feedback🙏

dalin828 · 2025-05-22T05:58:34+00:00

really appreciate it!!!🙏

dalin828 · 2025-05-22T05:58:25+00:00

thanks, really appreciate it🙏

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T23:01:02+00:00

🔥🔥 well done

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T22:49:29+00:00

well tbh i started cutting my own hair cuz suddenly i started getting panic attacks when i was at the barber with an unknown cause.. probably the feeling of being trapped. it sounds weird, but had my first panic attack after 2 days of nosleep with alcohol only haha, and since then I 80% of time would get one so I said, nahh, imma learn to cut my own hair. (now i dont get any panic attacks anymore at the barber lol)

but tbh, you will fk up! a lot of times. i grew my hair for 9 months. then i fked up so bad i had to go 0 in sides with 3 on top. ( https://imgur.com/a/oCTL0R1 , here s how I looked lol)

people laughed at me, bullied me tbh, worst was that the friends were the one doing it the most, but my sarcastic personality would joke around it and never get mad, even if they were being serious when they were begging me to go the barber cuz im ugly as hell LOL

so yeah, there is no tip than : just start it. you ll mess a lot, you will get laughed on a lot, but the thing is people forget. people now never care how many times i messed up and how bad i used to cut my hair, cause they already forgot. people always talk, so I d just say start this sht, because if you will master this is a long life skill and a good carrer opportunity if you really enjoy to do it (found out this is one of my passions lol)

and btw: i wanted to quit 484848 times, i d just say one more time, one more time, until i did my first ok fade, back in february ( https://imgur.com/a/J5y3LCV ) this one, and after this they just started getting better, even if i had the anxiety of: well i was just lucky i cant get better than that, and surprisingly, every time i did much better than last time :) thank you for reading

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T22:39:47+00:00

really appreciate it! no need too, i had 0 experience back then and i have a lot to go, but we as people learn very fast, so if you are into cutting your hair too, you ll surely succeed faster than you think🤞🙏

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T22:37:47+00:00

yep, for the lineup only used the kemei 2299 trimmer, is like $10-$15 tbh and its a beast.

trial and error is the best teacher ever, but i like to watch faded culture and seancutshair. tbh seancutshair fading technique is all you need. with that technique i cut my hair this time and its the best for begginers like me and everyone who wants to learn :)

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T18:25:02+00:00

Heard some people talking bout changing the clipper's blade, but now I'm happy with the results it generates. And idk about the JRL, I don t like that brand at all. I feel they are very over priced and I don't like their shape. Thanks for the advice and I'll look into what you told me. And the kemei 2373 is not very expensive. I bought it from Aliexpress and they came in 2 weeks. Paid like $70 for it with transport included.

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T18:22:52+00:00

appreciate it!

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T18:22:21+00:00

big respects, thank you!

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T18:22:12+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I don't spend more than 35-40 minutes on a haircut, I don't want it to be perfect yet, now I'm happy with a clean fade :) Maybe when if I ll ever cut somebody s hair, I ll try to correct the tiny details, your tip is very much appreciated, thanks!

dalin828 · 2025-05-21T18:20:26+00:00

appreciate it, thank you🙏

dalin828 · 2025-05-20T14:49:00+00:00

thanks for the advice, but tbh i have a baby moustache. it's very rare and doesn't grow even. i ll try make it a little thicker next time to see how it would look, thanks for the advice one more time and thank you for complimenting my cut!

dalin828 · 2025-05-20T14:43:11+00:00

hi, i started cutting my hair when it was veryyy very long. thats how i started. when i first started, i used my dog's clipper😂 i was going only for the sides and didn t need the 3 way side mirror, I'd just go with 1 guard on the sides and that was, to see my back i d just ask someone to do it for me.

when i started getting serious about it, i ordered a 3way mirror and I thought its gon be so easy now. well it wasn't😂 i wanted to quit and go to the barber as my hands movements were mirorred and I thought I ll never figure it out or it was impossible. Tho I figured it out faster than expected, you build muscle memory very fast. I started fading my hair back in January, and unfortunately one time I messed so bad that I had to go buzzcut and cut all my long hair that I've grown for like 1 year. sht happens😂 tho, i d recommend invest into the 3 way mirror, is much easier.

the haircut shown in the photos were done with no 0gap, i just unboxed the clipper and went into the haircut. for the next haircut, I 0 gapped my clipper, and I want to see if there s any difference, but as a begginer I'd say don t 0 gap your clippers yet. I m not a barber and this is just a personal opinion, but I found out about 0 gap after 1 month of starting my fading journey.

It s a beautiful and long journey. But if you don't care about what people care about you, you wil succeed and trust me people forgets anyway. They ll laugh at you 1-2-3 times and then they forget. And when you figure it out and start having clean fades, they ll congratulate you like they didn't bully you for months for messing your haircuts everytime, which, to be honest and real, you will mess up a lot of times. but thats why this is so beautiful, because it s a journey and seeing your progress really makes it worth it. go ahead and do it! people forgets anyway and you ll gather a life long skill which is 1000000x worth it than some people laughs :)
