welcome back to another video guys in this video right now we're gonna start
off by making our bald outline and these are the babyliss trimmers and I'm just
gonna make my guideline around the entire head now we're gonna take the
number three guard with the lever fully open and we're gonna cut down the top
and throughout this video I have the written descriptions with what I'm doing
as well also in a description if you want to check out time stamps so you can
fast forward to a specific point in the video you can do that as well so I got to
do it just look in the description so now we're gonna start with the lever
closed and begin to blend out this guideline
just attacking that bottom line okay
here you see me open the lever and then here I'll open it up one more time and
how I'm gonna do this video I did this fade a little bit different I did all the
steps around the entire head I know some people they like to stick to one side me
personally I usually stick to one side but for the purpose of this video I want
to show you each step around the entire head so all you see me doing it right
here is the same thing I did on the right side and I'm gonna do it on the
left side as well you notice how my thumb is stretching
his skin so that way I get the tightest fade that I can
all right and then we move on to the left side and we're gonna do the same
exact thing whatever you do to one side you have to do it to all sides that's
how you get a good consistent fade and notice how I comb after every few
strokes okay we're gonna make our next guideline with the number one guard
with the lever fully open and once again we're gonna go around the entire head
this might be easier for some people so it's whatever floats your boat it's so
many different ways to fade hair but with this channel I'm just trying to show you
guys different ways to achieve the same haircut
like they say there's more than one way to skin a cat but I just want to show
you different methods and if you guys can tweak your method however you want to
okay so here we drop down the lever fully closed all right and then here you
see me open the lever one notch so we're going in between that one open and one
closed now what we're gonna do in a second is come after we complete this
step around the entire head we're gonna come back with the half guard and just
knock out that faint line that you see
like I said just repeat the same steps on this side as well

already and this is your first time visiting this channel go ahead and hit
that subscribe button it really helps the channel out and I appreciate all you
guys support so here we have the half guard and we're knocking out that line
and the lever is fully closed by the way
now after this step all we have to do is just blend it into the top
okay now we have the to guard with the lever fully open and remember we cut the
hair down with the three on top so this should help it blend right into the top
and then here I just like the to guard with the lever fully open and I'm just
grazing down this top just to smooth it into the fade and like I said we're gonna
use the two guard around the entire head
that way you keep your guidelines consistent and notice how I'm holding
the Clipper flush I'm not really digging into the hair because I don't want to
raise the fade too high I just want to eliminate that bulk right
there at the ridge of his head
and then for certain spots I just closed the lever just a little bit but okay right
here we have the one and a half guard and right here we're just gonna clean up
the rest of the fade right here so we're going right up under that
number two and just smoothing the fade in
so if you're looking at this fade right now it's pretty much done we're just
taking this one and a half and just smoothing everything together
comment below if you think this is an easy fading process I think it's pretty
straight forward and to the point and then right here on this side I'm just taking
the number three guard and just getting rid of that bulk right there and I'm
also tapering his hair down with that number three as well in front of his
hairline just sort of lay down smoothly
and I'm just spraying some holding spray to make
his hair stand still we're gonna proceed with the line once again just tapering
this side of his hairline just to make the hair lay down
I like to make the vertical bars first just because it makes it easier for me
to connect it if you just line the sides up first and then connect it across the
front it makes it a lot easier to me some people line across the front first
and then do the vertical bars but it's really all the preference and then here
you see me just tap it is line up I don't want to dig into this hairline
that's the last thing that you want to do that's the fastest way it's to lose
the customer so you just want to find that balance between taking off as
little hair as possible and also getting the hair line as crispy as possible
don't chase the hair line just try to get it as natural and as crisp as you
can and then here we just put it on the finishing touches with the razor this is
a very essential part this will make the line of last a couple of more days I
promise you and I'm just spraying some oil sheen right here and this is the end
of the cut guys thank you so much for watching if you found this video helpful
