all right so what I'm doing right here I'm taking my shears and I'm getting the
knots out of his hair and that's just so the Clipper won't snag and here you see
me taking the number two guard and right here I'm just really trying to knock the
kinks and coils out of his hair as you can see his hair is really really thick
and coarse now he hasn't had a haircut in about three months so you can see his
hair is really untrained is it's not laying any particular way it's just
growing out so we're gonna try to tame it and when cutting think hair like this
you don't want it to snag so make sure you make short strokes with clipper until
you get the bulk knocked down and you see me cutting hair at all angles just
so I can get it even notice how I'm being really careful with the way I
put the Clipper through the hair
and here's the one of the half guard and I'm just gonna go all the way against
the grain around the entire head and the lever is fully closed
and be careful when you go to the ridge of the head where his the rest of his
dreadlocks connect because you don't want to snag the other hair you see how
I'm holding the hair out of the way with the comb that way I don't snag any
unnecessary hair that I'm not trying to cut and here I have the one guard and
what I'm doing now is just smoothing down the hair I'm just making it all even
so really what I'm doing guys is I'm prepping the hair this is a very
important step with the haircut even like this you'll know what you're
working with and then here we're going to move on to
bald him out with the with the t out liners
as you can see he he already looks like a different person and I haven't even
faded his hair yet he has so much new growth on the side of his head here the
lever is fully open we're gonna make this guideline an inch and notice how it
dip it down towards his C-cup because I want to leave that area dark here the
lever is fully closed and I'm going up this is just a routine blend guys open
the lever up
another time holding his ear down with my finger just because you don't want to
Nick that area with the Clipper because I'm telling you guys once it's area
bleeds I've said it before if the area if you ever wish to Nick somebody
somebody's ear it will bleed for a really long time and here I have the one
guard going right up under that one and a half and the lever is fully open and
here you see you close the lever and just smooth it down just a little bit
more
and the lever is still closed and I'm going up under that one over
okay now I open the lever halfway and I go in between that one open and that one
closed if you get confused just go back and rewind you'll see exactly what I
mean and here I have to have I have that 1/16 or the half gone and the lever is
halfway open going up under that one closed and you can see the blending
starting to come together now guys and here I just closed the lever and go
right up under the half guard halfway over
notice how I'm trying to leave the the c-cup dark here you see me going back
with the one guard and I'm just doing touch-up work at this point and this is
just alcohol just to get any oil from the skin and then we're gonna hold
the hair in place with some tresemme'
personally whenever I do arches I don't over exaggerate
the arch I try to keep it natural because when it grows back
it's gonna look really funky
now I know you guys see this come on now this is night and day and now we're just
gonna proceed on with the lineup notice I didn't begin to his hairline and
keeping it as low as I can the key to getting a good
lineup is the prep work a lot of people don't understand that you have to prep
the lineup you can't just turn the liners on what you can but you won't get
a crisp line up a lot of is in the prep work so that's why you always see me
spray the alcohol are you seeing me taper down the front of the hairline
just a little bit now you see me use the holding spray it's just a little things
that will make the job a lot easier
and at this point I'm just putting the finishing touches on the haircut don't
