It comes a time when you really need to do something with that hair of yours, and the best possible route to take would be cut your own hair men clippers style. Its the easiest way to start off learning to cut your own hair with clippers. Men hairstyles aren’t really a huge deal, so if you were to mess something up during this guide, you can always give yourself a buzzcut. With your using the same pair of clippers that i use, you’ll be in luck, they have the perfect settings to give you the best haircut using clippers.
Before i explain to you how you can cut your own hair men clippers style, please if you cannot take cutting your own hair seriously enough, then i would advise other wise. Let us begin the guide on what you will need in order to cut your own hair with clippers, if you have a good hair trimmer, this i the time to take those out as well.
Phase one of cutting your own hair with clippers involves preparing all your equipment first, that way we won’t be running around the house looking for tools with a half completed haircut. The clipper i reccomned most, is the The Wahl Delux Chrome Pro , its the same one i use and i couldn’t be more satisfied. This clipper comes with all the extensions we will need , so you won’t have to use scissors or shears, but i will give a few solid tips when using the shears to complement your haircut after reading through this whole cut your own hair men clippers route guide.
You should also take out your hair trimmer if you have one, i picked one up because it allows me to get closer to the hairline which makes my hair edges stand out nicely.If this all sounds like a lot of work just to even start the process of cutting your own hair men clippers style, then just take a look at how cutting your own hair could save you a lot of money.
Basically all you need to cut your own hair men clippers is :
Step 1 : Start with the sides, pick a number bigger than you think you would want, if you want a short side, you would use a number 2 extension ( all of this comes with the Wahl Clipper I use) , but in this case you would start with a three or four just to be safe and get the feel for it. Cut up to where your sides meets the ‘top’ part of your head and stop there. Use this as a guide to cut all the way around, try and get it as best as you can, the back might be a challenge so just deal with it!
Step 2: I like taking my hair trimmers and start with the small final details like sideburns,back side of your neck, and around the ears. I know that usually barbers do this last, but doing it now will help guide you when cutting the top part of your hair. So go ahead, take the trimmer, if you dont have one, a clipper will do but it wont get as close to the edge , so don’t try to, you might cut off some important hair and ruin your whole cut!
Step 3: After you have completed FULLY the sides and the important details its time for the top part of your head. Remember this is a home haircut, and if you want to get a good buzz haircut you need to try your hardest. Take a number four or five, and begin cutting the top of your hair, follow up from where the sides of your hair end. First blend the sides with the top, make it look like its not a bowl cut, and work from there. Do every side like this, blend, blend , blend, this is a key factor in having a decent haircut. After you’ve blended the sides with the top, if your using a four, take a five extension and blend the four and five together, so now you have a 2/3 into a 4, which blends into a 5. Take the five almost all the way to the middle of your head, dont just cut rapidly, lets give your head some shape and design. After you’ve blended its time for the very top.
Step 4: All that is left is the very top of your hair. Take a number 7 to start, and cut the remaining hair away, it should be evenly blended and cut to where it looks natural. Yes that means take the clipper and just cut the remaining hair that you haven’t cut yet. After that, take a number six, and blend the 5 into the 7. After you’ve blended all the numbers together, your finish. Its that quick and simple and really nothing to it.
As you can see cutting your own hair men clippers style isn’t hard at all. Just take a good look at yourself , and once you begin cutting follow through with it till the very end. It might take a hour or two depending on if its your first time. That’s fine, just take your time, make yourself look good and presentable. There really isn’t any other way to do this, this is the basic way to start, so while your experimenting you’ll find what your looking for i promise. Hopefully you can cut your own hair men clippers style after all of this!
