this video is brought to you by DueTT hey guys it's Thomas from the Barber
Style Directory and welcome back to another video in this video I will be
focusing on fading straight hair. I get a lot of people in the comments asking hey
how do you fade straight hair or are the steps the same and the answer to
both of those questions is yes. Fading straight hair is just like fading
coarse hair or thick hair of any other type of hair and we're gonna focus on
that in this video and don't forget after you finish watching this video

know whenever we upload new content and without further ado let's get into the
video we're gonna start this fade out by balding him with the Wahl Detailers as
usual and notice how I'm holding down his ear because I don't want to nick him in
that area
and right here I take the Oster Fast Feeds with the lever fully open and I
make my next guideline this video is going to be really simple and to the
point just like the other easy fade technique video that I have and we're making the
guideline about an inch high. Alright you see me fully close the lever and now
I'm just about to start going through the steps it's really simple
then you see me open the lever up once again
and that's the thing about straight hair don't be scared to fade it.
you use the same steps to fade straight hair as you would coarse hair. Here you see me open it up one
more time. Alright so here I take the zero guard and the liver is fully
open and I make another guideline about an inch and you can see it
starting to fade already. Guys when you're fading don't get scared.
See all I'm doing is making guide lines and taking them out that's all I'm doing
I make a guide line and then I blend it out that's all I'm doing
here I'll close the lever and go right up under that 1 open
here you go halfway and notice how I go back and forth but I go side to side. I turn my Clippers different ways just to make sure that I'm cutting the hair
even. Okay straight hair can sometimes have
dark spots, and then here you see me take the lever fully open
with no guard and just knock out that faint line that I see.
Notice how I always tilt the Clippers certain ways just to make sure that I'm
getting a nice even blend. Like I said with straight how you can have a lot of dark
spots but here I have the one and a half guard with the liver fully open and I'm
going right up to the ridge of his head
and notice how I have the Clipper fading flush with his with
the shape of his head. I'm not digging into the skin.
and there you saw me close the lever. I'm going right up under that one and a half.
all right and then now we're just gonna take the 1 guard and just knock out the
rest of the rest of that line that you see, and we'll pretty much be done.
Guys this fade is simple enough. It didn't take me a long time, the steps are simple
and straight to the point. so if I can do it I know you guys can do
it so, if you're having trouble fading just watch this video rewind it if you
need to. I want to help you guys be able to fade easily. This method is pretty
simple for me so I wanted to be simpler I want to share it with you guys so
it'll be something for you also and then right here I just saw a little weight up
at the top sides to the three-guard just to knock some of that bulk down.
so what you see me doing right here, like I said straight hair can have dark spots
so I don't want to create another guideline so I just took the Clipper at
an angle just to flick out the dark spots, and you'll see me do that later on
as well. Right here I just wet the hair just to do a little clipper over comb so
you won't see any straggling hair sticking out on the side and I like to
use a white comb because you can see the hair you can see how much hair is going
through the comb, and notice I'm not cutting a lot I'm just trying to make it
even. Now we just move on to the back and you just see me do the same steps
so you guys just watch it follow along and see if you can determine what
steps I'm about to do to do next
and I wanted to show you guys the back because you know a lot of times you stop
skipping back but it's really the same stuff I just want to show you that and
then here you see me using that same technique because I don't want to raise
the guideline I just wanted to eliminate some bulk, but yeah guys this is this is
pretty much the fade, simple and easy. here we just proceed on to the lineup
now notice I'm trying not trying to give him a super crispy line up you just want
it nice and neat. Then here I'm just wetting the hair because he wants a soft
part in his head he doesn't want anything too hard that's why I'm
only doing it with the Clippers
and here I just take my shears and just clean up the loose hairs that I see so
the part would be nice into it so pretty much does let me know what you think in
the comments. if this video was helpful for you be sure to share it also
