I feel you. I'm no where near where I'd like to be but I'm comfortable applying the clippers to my head now. You lit. If only I had started practicing sooner. My boy in the vid I posted started cutting his/our hair in HS about 10 years ago too. If only I had followed in his footsteps.
Yo. I think I look better with long hair, but as bad as this soudns, I get tired of having to pick/comb it out so much. I had the top around clipper guard 5-6, with the sides starting around 4mm and usually fading down to anything from 3.0 to 0.4mm (depended on my mood, I guess). I think I'm gonna rock with the Cormega/Nas fade for now, minus the part. I'm somewhat confident in cutting my hair after doing it for a while, but Iunno if I can do the parts without ruining everything.
Felt the same way about my hair and maintenance so I went the French braid route out here looking like Pretty Boy Flacko with temp fade on the side.

Don't know how some of yall pay for cuts unless your hair grows slowly. Gave my self a fade less than a week ago and my ish grew back already
I used to cut mine every week back when I cared more, but now it’s more like a full cut every 3 weeks with neck and shape up weekly.
That's nonsense bro, quality tools accentuate skill, they are never a substitute. It's not my Andis fault that I'm not as skilled as my barber.
it says it's for daily use. i usually put it on before i leave the house. it's naturally thick and that's normal. i rub it into my palms and rub all into my hair. the excess i put into my mustache and brows.
This video was how I learned to fade. I use my wahl seniors with the lever closed to start instead of the 1 guard though
Gonna hit my barber today, haven't seen him since a few days before Christmas. Don't know if I should go with this cut, or is it already played out? I have the same curly hair texture, but if my sides get trimmed too low my ears point out.
Yeah nothing wrong with that cut. My beard is pure struggle, but if I didn't have the Dak hairline, I'd go for it.
Yep. That’s the downside to rocking a fade. The cut lasts 4 days, max, before my hair starts to noticeably grow back. That’s the promary reason I’ve had to resort to cutting my hair once a week. As far as the machine discussion, you need good clippers. Period. I don’t believe you can become skilled without the proper equipment. As for me, I use Andis Masters, Andis Fade Masters, and the Andis T outliner. Lately I’ve been considered buying one of the modified T outliners from eBay that I’ve heard a few barbers swear by.
I got my cut yesterday and chose to go with a two dark up top with a fade all around. Got the beard to tie it all together.
