Alpha's hair is driving him nuts as he's been growing it out. It's too the point where it's heavy. He likes his hair up with volume, but it's weighted-down. The bangs are good, but the back is not doing what Alpha likes it to do. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro demonstrates how he trims his own he's using scissors and a comb.
Wash, towel dry (leave damp), and comb into place. He wants to take the bulk out of the back section so he combs the bangs out of the way. He lifts a section of hair and pinches straight up. He simply snips about a 1/4 inch off the very ends and then goes right next to it. Follow the contour of your head. That strip is done. Go behind it and repeat. Once he gets back to the longer and heavier part, he takes a little more off.

The idea is that you go all the way back with tiny and systematic trimming. Perhaps you may have to trim a bit more after styling and checking; however, taking a little off will allow you to do what you want it to do. Alpha uses Pete and Pedro Putty for his styling: versitle, matte, works for short & long hair,and perfect pre-styler. Make sure to work the product all the way down to the root.

Use the hair dryer on the medium setting to blow into place then blow against the grain for volume. Alpha continues to demonstrate. His hair is now doing what he likes it to do. He locks the style into place with a bit more of the Pete and Pedro Putty. Emulsify to activate the hair product and run back into the hair to give it more pop. The trim gave his hair life!

Everytime i tell the barber "just a small trim"

I always end up being the last air bender

I just tested this on my brother. Good thing I didn’t test it on myself first because his hair looks like shit

I'm 69 and have been cutting my own hair for 50 years. There's no longer a problem with too much weight on top. It's my waistline that needs trimming.

When cutting my own hair, do I have to say "boom" every time? ;-)

[djole]

This video encourage me to try this myself. I failed really bad. Had to go to a barber to fix my hair. Can't wait for next Tips & Tricks video. 10/10

I was pretty nervous to touch my own hair but I did exactly as Aaron said and it worked! It looks quite nice, it’s unreal. Thank you so much for taking time from your day to help us, I appreciate this video and others a lot.

Bit of advice to anyone trying this; do little and often and never cut a huge noticeable bit of hair off to the point where people can see you've had a hair cut.


It's easier if you cut your hair shorter over a few weeks so that people at work etc. won't see an immediate change and it gives your hair chance to naturally blend itself in and gives you chance to assess how it looks on a daily basis and it it needs more cutting off or not.


Also if you have curly/wavy hair, remember that if you pull the hair straight and cut it, it will most likely look shorter than that because your hair will curl back up. So always add extra length for the waves when you snip it

I never thought of cutting my own hair. I saw this video and he made it look so easy! Then even I tried and I got awesome results 😄 Try it guys...

[travisgibbs]

Alpha, I'm sure you won't reply to this but I just want to thank you for your videos. I stumbled upon you week and I have already learned SO MUCH. I've always struggled with self-confidence but, now, after watching your videos, I have improved my image and I already feel better about myself. Thanks, Alpha!

[DaddyOBill]

I'm too ugly to risk fucking up my hair by trying to cut it😂

[JNtolm]

Me and my twin brother have been trimming the side and back of our hair for months, at first it was scary but now we are really good at it and have been complimented a lot. It's also saved us hundreds of dollars, so thank you alpha m for your original video 👍🏻

My hand-eye coordination is so bad when it comes to doing the scissors and comb technique. My arms get so tired too.

[shutdahellup]

2:10 its so ridiculously hard for me to cut the hair with scissors on top, everytime either the scissor goes in front of the "targeted" hair or behind Pisses me off so much

[bringitdownt]

I hate how the fade haircut is gone within only 2 weeks. I wish i was a famous soccer player like a Real Madrid's player so I can afford an own barber to have fresh cuts all the time

I tried and failed as usual time to HIDE myself from humanity as my hair grows back.
