  • With hairdressers around the world in government lockdowns to stop the spread of the coronavirus, the only way I can keep a fresh trim is to take a bash at it myself…
    I've enlisted the help of Sean Moore, the creative director of Menspire salon and a hairdressing teacher at the Menspire Academy. He's taught hundreds of students the core techniques for hairdressing, and I'm hoping those skills will work for me cutting my own hair.

      Yeah, there are a few of us out here that no haircut is going to make us look like a moviestar. So, ironically, a "5" is probably pretty OK for most of us especially under the circumstances. Furthermore, if you don't try, you'll never learn, and if you don't practice, you'll never get better. Finally, you'll probably need a new haircut in a month anyway, give yourself a mohawk, it just doesn't really matter that much. (OK, don't do that, just making a point) If I start going clubbing, or go on the red carpet, I'll make an appointment with the pro.

      You're right. He's giving advice out of concern for others and that is a good thing, but he's also subtly implying the risk is too high (and I think that's a little exaggerated). If someone wants to learn to cut their own hair, as long as they understand that might take practice, patience and even _risk of being self-conscious in public_ then _why not_ try it yourself? Everyone starts somewhere with something. Again, it makes perfect sense that a professional recommends their work done professionally, but this skill is something I believe a lot of people sell themselves short on because it's _too_ discouraged.

If something is mastered by a person, then another person can master it. It's all about practice, practice, practice and of course doing it with the right tools. Matter of fact any bum from the street can do it with the overpriced tool, what makes a professional is a guy doing the same job with the wrong (DIY) tool making it look like a pro job.

It'll definitely take a long Tim's if you're starting off, but if you know that going in, and you take your time, understand the steps, you'll be really good. There is even a whal home cutting kit with special guards that are slanted and blends the hair for you. Definitely a good way to go for beginnings, I believe it's the color coded one on amazon, or Walmart should have them, it's like 20 bucks, definitely a good beginner's set.

    I've been cutting my own hair for close to 10 years now. Its not as hard as this dude makes it out to be, but it does require a ton of patience and a LOT of manual dexterity. It helps that I generally keep my hair short, longer hair would be harder.
    But, invest in good shears, take your time, don't worry about "proper" stance (do what feels good, because cutting your own hair is a different beast from cutting someone else's), and check your hair often (bonus points if you use a hand mirror to check behind your head).

    This guy isn’t losing any business by admitting the haircut is good, a professional obviously sees things differently. Also keep in mind this is the result after a barber coaching him through it and this probably took over an hour. Trust me this is hard to do and might come out decent but you’re better off finding a good barber especially if your haircut is more than a 4 in the sides and a bit off the top.

I did a pretty decent job and actually tailored it to my liking better than barbers who over do it and dont give me the look I want (after showing them pictures too). This guy is purposely doing a terrible job. The trick is to correctly use clipper guards in steps. Look up a better video, this barber was cringing the whole time instead of helping.

      Ok so I'm a hairdresser so this is another professional opinion. From the front his hair looks great, but the thing tricking you here is that his hair is dark on camera. It's by far not the worst haircut I've ever seen, and honestly I've fixed worse things that stylists in my salon have put out. But when he turns his head you can see that none of it is blended, and it's uneven. So he ended up with a bowl cut. I ended up as a hairdresser in the first place because my dad used to cut his own hair and he taught me how to do it. So it's definitely possible for ppl to learn, it just takes a lot of practice and trial and error. I agree, to save yourself the headache just have a friend or someone clean it up a little.

    Tip from my experience cutting my own hair for some time: Before you cut your own hair, cut someone else's hair multiple times. Of course not to mess their hair intentionally, but to get the feel of it and learn. And to reduce the risk of giving them a horrible cut, cut very little by little and they'll have to trust you haha. This will help a lot when it's time to cut your own hair because by then you'll be good at using the tools, familiar with the way you handle hair and the shapes before and after the cut (as some types of hair get even shorter because they curl when cut). And obviously I am not encouraging anyone to go knock on your targets during quarantine to give them free haircuts. It takes time and practice as the professional said in the video. Good luck.

If you cut your own hair more than 3 time, you'll definitely get a hang of it and be able to do it with the same level of result as many of these professionals would do. The only thing that separates the average person who does his own hair and a professional, is the amount of time it will take one to complete the cut; because the actual skills aren't that hard to learn. Being a pro just means you can do it relatively quickly, that's pretty much all the difference you'll come to see once you cut your hair a few time and know how to do it from that experience.
