  • This is the break down of what those numbers mean on your guard. Here's a little recap
    0 Guard - 1/16th of an inch
    1 Guard - 1/8th of an inch
    1 1/2 Guard - 3/16th of an inch
    2 Guard - 2/8th of an inch
    3 Guard - 3/8 of an inch
    and so on...
    Clipper closed is bald or a zero. Clipper open is 1/16th of an inch or a "half"

To get more views make sure to ask people to like the video and subscribe if they got any value from it. Also, asking a question in your video for people to respond/comment down below helps your engagement with your audience and it helps the CZcams algorithm.

    @fahadpereira5951 Před 4 lety +3

    Thanks, these videos are very useful and easy to follow, much needed! Question, what’s the point of having a specific guard for 1.5 when this can be achieved simply by opening the lever on #1? Or have I missed something?

    • @thephoenixbarber4435
      @thephoenixbarber4435  Před 4 lety +2

      It helps with making the blend transition between the #1 and #2 very smooth. You dont "need" it if you have your technique down but it does help alot. and everyones hair fades differently. opening the #1 lever doesn't open directly into the #2 with the Wahl clippers. It opens up to a 3/16 instead of 4/16 which is the #2 guard or 2/8th. remember opening the lever only adds 1/16th

    when you're doing it yourself. The sides shouldn't be too hard. it's the back and then the top will be the challenge for many. But then again with most currently out of work. Any mistakes can be covered with wearing a hat when going out.

    • @thephoenixbarber4435
      @thephoenixbarber4435  Před 4 lety

      I completely agree with you. It's always that blend going into the top of the hair that makes it really challenging depending on the haircut you want. Although, like you said if you mess up just go out with a hat lol

    I was told since the 1 guard open is 1 1/2 to only use the 3/16 guard in the halfway position with the lever. And the same with the 0 guard. I see a lot of barbers just open close. Those guards were designed to fill the gap by using the lever in the halfway position ?

    Thanks a lot for the video.
    How about the wahl ear taper guards? What's their size range (the ear taper gards starts from #1 1/2 or #2?)? There's no information about these guards... :(
