The video tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to cut your own hair perfectly using clippers. The instructor starts with a number 6 clip in the closed position, cutting the sides and back of the hair to set the base for the rest of the haircut. He then gradually moves to lower numbered clips (4, 3, 2, and 1) to achieve a smooth fade.
The instructor emphasizes the importance of blending the hair at each stage to avoid any lines or unevenness. He also shares tips on how to use a handheld mirror to see what you're doing, especially when cutting the back of your hair.
The tutorial covers the following key points:
* Start with a higher numbered clip (6) and work your way down to achieve a smooth fade.
* Use a handheld mirror to see what you're doing, especially when cutting the back of your hair.
* Blend the hair at each stage to avoid any lines or unevenness.
* Use a steady, gentle motion when cutting, and curve the clippers up and out to achieve a smooth finish.
* When using lower numbered clips, be more careful to blend the hair and avoid any mistakes.
* The final step involves tapering off the bottom of the fade using a zero guard or clip.
The instructor also provides alternative methods for trimming the top of the hair, including using scissors or clippers with a higher numbered guard.
