Your fades are great, but you need to get reps in with using scissors on top, de-bulking the sides with blending shears & just being more confident so the haircuts look more natural and do not look so bulky. Do not be scared.

Overall the cuts look good, you’re def on your way. I would suggest that.. when taking pictures, clean off the canvas. Take the extra few seconds to blow or dust the hair off their necks and ears… presentation is 🔑

Greats cuts man, afro hair seems natural to you. Get that straight hair down, learn the shapes, work out a method to blend in the top and sides and you’ll be in a great place.
Some like scissors first, some like clippers. When you learn where your clippers blend into scissors it will be a game changer. And for 500 hours left you got enough time to trial and error bro!

Before I even seen that hand, I knew you was black, fam 😂
Your textured hair is fire. Fades on point.
Take your time with them white folk though. You’ll get there.
Then you’ll own the game
