The Easiest Beginner Self-Haircut Tutorial 2020 | How To Cut Your Own Hair Without A Lever

-------------------

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Alex Kouras. I started cutting my own hair when I was 13, back in 2008. This was during the Windows 99 era—dial-up internet, when YouTube was a dating site, and the global economy got slapped. Hard. Because of it, my mom lost her job for nearly three years, and during that time, my dad had to support her, me, and my two brothers all on his own.

I started cutting my hair as a way to help my family save money because I was tired of hearing my parents argue about finances and wanted to do something to make things easier for them. After getting a few bad haircuts at Supercuts, I knew this was the best way I could help.

With that being said, this channel does not do my past any justice. I wish I could have recorded my first handful of self-haircuts so you could see just how garbage they were. I got made fun of a lot because of it in middle school—even by some of the moms from the kids on my soccer team! Rightfully so... They were pretty bad.

Now, over 15 years later, I share content that teaches millions of people every month in more than 165 countries how to save time and money by mastering self-haircuts from the comfort of your own home. It’s not a hard skill to learn, but like anything in life, if you make it a priority and stay committed, you can succeed without letting the tough times make you quit.

I had every reason to quit when I got started. No money. No mentor. No YouTube. No clippers, only a $20 Remington beard trimmer. I was literally just a little kid who cared way more about my family's well-being than any bit of harsh criticism I could get as a result. Times have changed since 2008 and you now have an opportunity of a lifetime with my channel.

Please know, I’m here to help you on your self-haircut journey in any way I can. Self-haircuts are fun, an awesome skill to have, and the best way to avoid ever paying for a barber again!

[LatePen]

Thanks Alex! Me and my sister both agree that this is the best haircut I've ever had. Can't believe I like it more than what any barber has given me.

Mirrors and Lighting are the most important part. Plus, taking the time to section the hair properly in the beginning.

I think I'll keep doing this! Thanks again 👑

[bubbasplitz]

What if you have a potatoe shaped head ? These techniques don't work on my Alien head.

[funspeedcuber]

Hey man, i have a vid idea if u wanna use it! You can make a video specifically dedicated to just blending in hard lines. It can sometimes be a bit confusing, so in the vid u could explain all the techniques to use to blend in hard lines, and exactly how to do them.

[kaankarapnar]

Your doing a good job, have seen many of your vids and will be starting to cut my own hair with your help

[Tom]

Con you do the same video but with a longer hair cut, too short for me

[seancorrea]

5:18 did u accidentally drop your camera and then use it as a transition

[firo]

Hey alex how do you blend the hardline from 6mm lever closed to 16mm lever closed? By flicking with the 6mm guard or how you do it?

[ngohung]

It is hard to have a hair cut by self. But, the lesson is great 👍. You did a great job. I would practice to have my hair cut. Your lesson is especially helpful during pandemic due to travel restrictions, people can not go out to hair salon for service. Help ourselves is the best way and a wonderful experience. Nice And handsome

I cut my own hair with a comb and a straight razor. I should be out of the ICU after I get this last unit of blood transfused.

[CmdrTigerKing]

Idk why but I started cutting my hair around the time this video was released... and tried this method but I find it easier to start big and work down.... Basically way but reverse.. idk.. I can do it completely mirrorless now ... always looks well done.

[kenpachifaraj]

instead of the number 1 and 2 can i replace them using 0 and 1 to get a skin fade type of look?

[jasongonzalez]

Came here from Bossio this dude definitely improved from the video bossio watched I guess you could say it’s a “easier” haircut but this is a lot cleaner Respect.

@Alex Kouras Unfortunately, my Vanity in the place I live doesn't have a wall nor a big mirror like yours. I've tried different setups & didn't turn out well, plus it felt very uncomforablet trying to make those motions to cut the back of my head with the clipper being off. 0:07

[sergiogarza]

your blessed man
