There are plenty of videos on YouTube. Just need a good set of clippers, Andis is pretty good. You also need another set to for your shape up, the smaller ones. Keep them clean and lubricated.

Whatever you do.... Get andis t outliners for the line

 

[god shamgod]

Cop some andi's master clippers and some andis t outliners.Go on youtube and watch one of the 100's of videos that show you how to taper,fade,etc etc

get blade wash and dip your clippers in there afterwards and always oil your clippers up before use.Cop some clipper oil at the local beauty supply store

watch a video on how to adjust the blades too

I just cut my hair on Sunday...I've done it in the past off and on but with these new machines I got I don't imagine going to the barber shop...

I got and Oster clipper. The red one thats very common...

I got the Andis T outlined. It's so necessary.

And I got some generic shaver from Walgreens for my facial hair...

That's all you need.

The back is he hardest part. You have to make sure the lines are even, and you have you make sure your left hand is as precise as your right. And you have to hold the mirror a certain way to see shyt.

Great question.

My gf did the tape on the back for me...

But once you get lined up once you can literally maintain it forever with the shaver from walgreens.

If you want cut your own shyt down and just get taped up at the shop this time

there's several videos just like this step by step different styles,show you the clippers to use,the liners and the guards.

It's gonna take a while before you on point with it.

Don't do it, keeping crisp is addicting, u dont want to damage your hairline giving yourself a Steve Harvey hairline every other day, those 15-20$ we spend...

Refuses to shape my fro until I get a bevel, that 200$ tho

Make sure you do it during a time that your barber is open..

Andi's you have to get them adjusted or even get deep teeth blades, people think u could get your shyt barber sharp grabbing a pair of Andi's

I can only imagine this ending terribly.
