#4 Fading and Blending

 

 These are just basic steps on how the process of the cut was going. Like I mentioned, this was my first time doing this so it may not be the best, but in order to get better at anything, you have to practice and dedicate yourself.

This is the fading step. You always want to make sure everything is even all the way around the head. Basically like a color line where it goes from dark to light.

This is the blending step. When blend the hair, always make sure that there are no lines around the head. If you look at the picture above, you can see the difference.

#3 High Fade Haircut

 

 

This was a basic tutorial for a high fade haircut on my suitemate. Mind you this was the first time that I performed on a Caucasian person, so I will admit that I was slight nervous, but confident at the same time. This is just a brief video on how I started the process of the cut. The pictures will show the finishing results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

#2 Basic Equipment

Here you will see some of my own personal haircutting equipment that I use. I don't have the top notch professional stuff yet, but the stuff that I have, I put into good use. What you will need to start the process is hair clippers and liners. If you do some research online, you will see that there are plenty of places locally that you can purchase them. There are also different brands of hair clippers and liners that you can get. The clippers you see on the far left are Wahl brand. Next to those are my Andis T-Styliners. The rest are just a few basics things you will need, comb, brush and a dusting brush.

 

 

These are mainly the vital things you need for the hair cutting process. Here you see blades for the clippers. These generally come with the clippers if you purchase them in a store. The blades vary in size. The smaller size are mainly for shorter hair and larger for longer hair. Also hair cutting scissors is something you may need. These are really helpful when cutting frizzles out the hair. Also you see a small brush, this is use for brushing the hair off the clippers and liners. It can become a hassle when there is a lot of hair on the blades, so those really come in handy. And lastly is the Andis blade spray for disinfectant and rust preventative. The spray is one of the most important things to have when cutting hair because you want to have sterilized blades that are clean when you cut different sets of hair. That's not just the blades, always sterilize and clean all your equipment after use, so it prevents infections and different hair problems.

Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I just want to take the time and share with you on why I chose to create my blog. For one, I have a passion for cutting hair. It has been something that I've been doing since I was fifteen. Now I get the opportunity to share some of my work with the world. In my blogs, you will get to see photos and videos on tutorials. I will give steps on how to go about the process, and also the different haircut styles. Stay tuned and hopefully this will inspire those who are up coming barbers, that are looking for tips.
