, so i dont, butbelieve me, i've tried before.
 
been cutting my own hair for the past 12 years... it gets a lot easier after the first few times. you'll probably need a handheld mirror for the back,which is the hardest part. i only use clippers, though... never scissors.
 
son pushed me back so now i have to let my hair get back to its original spot plus let the cowlick grow in

Times are tough!! I been shaving my head pretty close and just lining myself up. Its all I need for right now. $80 a month for haircuts is not whats good.
 
I really want to learn this, the barbers around my Uni suck big time.


I could careless about a shape up or any of that nonsense really, I just want a low fade equally proprtioned. How do I do this?? what clippers are good forthis??
 
cutting hair is easy I don't know how i picked it up so easily, but it is easier for me to cut my own hair than others.
 
Been Doing my own shape up for a while.. Only time i go to the barber shop is if im in a rush. I would cut my own hair. But i haven't gotten a haircut for7 years. ( i have braids )

1. Def need to have good mirrors set up. They make a hell of a difference.
2. Keep new blades for your clippers.. Roughly every few months depending on how often you use them.
3. Not sure if you are ready to do straight edge ( Razor ) yet. Im able to do my whole shapeup with just a blade.. but it did take some practice. be EXTREMELYcareful if you decide to do this. Dont need a long scar across your face or neck.. pull skin tight and press blade against the hair. This makes the cut lookmuch sharper. But Since your starting out.. dont use this just yet..Only to remove any lil strands of hair you left behind that your clipperz didnt catch.

Practice. Practice. Practice.
 
I give myself a 1.5 every week at school. I use a handheld mirror to see the back of my head when I'm cutting that part. I use a andis t-outliner II toline myself up. It's not that hard to do if you don't rush.
