what's up guys it's Thomas from the Barber Style directory and welcome back to
another video now in this video I'm gonna be doing a fade for the first time
using the Babyliss clippers so we'll see how it turns out make sure you subscribe
if you haven't already and without further ado let's get it to the video
we're gonna start this video out by combing the hair until its natural
pattern which is coming his hair in the direction of his waves and then here
cutting down the top with the one and a half guard you just keep going with the
grain
here I'm making sure to be careful when I'm cutting the crown area you want to
comb the hair before you cut this area because you don't want to gap the client
all right and then here we're going to take the trimmer and bald him out to
make our bald guy that we're going to do this all the way around the head
okay now here we take the Clipper with the lever fully open we're gonna make
our next guideline we're gonna make it but about an inch high next you see me
drop down the lever fully closed and I'm gonna start knocking that bottom line
now you open the lever up and the one thing I like about this clipper they
have notches so it's really easy to blend with
you see me pulling the skin so that way I make striking the side blade
and while I'm at it I'm just gonna go ahead and blend in the beard so I just
start with the lever opening and slowly close it okay now this is the one guard
I know you can really see it but this this is the one guard with the lever
fully open and I'm making my next guideline here the lever is fully closed
and I'm just going to knock down the weight on the side of his head
okay and now the one guard is fully closed
here I open the lever about halfway
okay and this is the half guard you see me adjust a lever
if we're going up under that one closed I
don't know if you can tell from this angle but he kind of has indentions in
his head so you'll see me trying to blend that out in just a second that's
one thing about fading different people everybody has a different head
shape and some people may have indentions
or you know just certain types of head shapes but you have to make sure that
you blend it together smooth a smooth look on the fade and notice how I'm
using the corner of the blade when I'm erasing this guideline
okay here this is that indention I was talking about you see me taking the one
guard and I'm just going at different angles just to make sure I get that dark
spot out
okay and then we're gonna continue the same steps around the entire head
lever fully closed
here we open up the lever
you see you open it up one more time
okay this is the one guard with the lever fully open
and here it is closed I open it up about half way I know it was quick but if you
didn't see you can always rewind a bit
leave it as you can see the fade come together just using the
corner up there blade and I'm just gonna breeze through this part I already
showed you the same steps on the other side so I'm not gonna bore you with the
whole routine
and then right now we're just prepping the hair for the lineup and
this is some wave mousse it just lays the hair down in place so you just see
me combing in and distribute it in the hair evenly with the comb and then
here just blow dry it and then here I'm just getting the stragglers just
those his hairs lay it down really smooth and then now we're just gonna
proceed with the the lineup now I can't use a razor on his beard because his skin is
really sensitive on his face and he will bump up if you use a razor so I'm just
gonna use my trimmer to line his beard oh he likes to keep his beard thick
and high as high as possible so I'm not really gonna go digging into
notice how I'm not trying to dig into his
hairline I'm just keeping everything natural
here I'm just putting the finishing touches on with the razor
and here is the end result let me know what you guys think in the comments
