How to cut the TOP of your own hair with clippers and KEEP IT LONG!!!

In this video I show you how to cut the top of your own hair by picking it up with your fingers and cutting with the clippers. This is a safer technique for self haircutting than using scissors. A correctly aligned clipper blade will not cut skin. I also show another technique and a blending in technique.

Oh my god. I’m actually so happy I found this, I grow such thick hair, I’m spending like £30 every 2 weeeks just to maintain it.. I thought I’m gonna do this & see… I’ve completely cleaned up my hair by myself, I haven’t touched the sides but damn… I’ve impressed myself, thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos! I haven’t found anyone on the internet who is more helpful with self haircut tutorials. You do the the perfect combination of simple, understandable and as easy as possible, with professional experience and good results. I really appreciate the work and time you put in to sharing these methods! Thank you! 👊

Finally! Someone who knows and shows how to cut a guy's top and crown with only clippers! I was terrified of running the clippers through my top. Thought I'd end up bald. 🥴 Dry cut, back to front, starting with the longest guard then blending the sides down from the top in the direction of the hair growth (not against)...Who knew it was that easy? Awesome tutorial!

WOW.. What a hustle with wet hair and scissors like barbers do and i am aware there is a reason for it but man.. Now this method works alot better and you don't make a mess like you would with wet hair.. Helped me alot.. THANK YOU 👍👍👍

Thank you for these videos! You have done an excellent job explaining how a person can cut their hair at home. Not only that, but your videos are simple, clean, to-the-point, and inspiring. I wish you the best as you are doing a very important work!

This was really helpfull as I was trying to grow the length on top and keeping the sides trimmed. The top was going thick in places but less so in others. Did the number 3 down on top with the number 2 down on the sides with a 2 and a 1 upwards on the sides and looked perfect. Made that untidy grow-out stage a thing of the past

You mention a number 3 guard but in your other video you mentioned mm so I think it would be useful to show that no 3 is 10mm; No 4 is 13mm; no.5 is 16mm; No 6 is 19mm; No 7 is 22mm and lastly no 8 is 25mm. These leave the hair longer the larger the size. Clippers seem to arrive some with the guards quoted as numbers and others as milimeters. I hope that solves the confusion. Another great video thank you.

Just wanted to let you know that your videos are great. I started with your video (with the pissed off barber clipper) and tried to cut my own hair. Now after a few cuts it' gets easier and easier to do it myself. Thank you!

Can’t tell you how many times I truly messed up cutting my own hair. But after watching your video I feel much better about my results.

Fantastic videos! So glad I found your channel, been watching to teach myself to do my own hair and for the most part, so far so good! Thanks for this video, cutting the top of your hair. That's my next "project" as I've got way more hair on top and I'm going to give that a go soon 🤞.

Thanks again!! Your videos are clear, concise and I love your explanations. Look forward to your next ones & all the best in 2021!!

Thanks for the video. I bought some Wahl clippers to cut my own hair and was wondering how to blend the length. You explained it quite well. Thanks again.

[patriciahendrix]

Be a good way for some us to shave our knuckles, too, with that method.

[donlessnau]

This was very helpful. I always have real trouble at the back corners on the top of my crown. I either cut it too short or leave it too long. This should help.
