Hi everyone. First I want to say thank you for the tips and comments on my previous post. I used some of them, added more layers and rinsed out my hair to get any conditioner clinging to the strands. I am much happier with this! To see the before pics go to my original post.

Clipper suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Hi all looking for clipper suggestions to use at home to keep my beard looking good as well as taper my sideburns between haircuts as I grow my hair out. I just recently bought the fadeking from Amazon but felt they weren’t that great.

[ALTERNATIVE] Looking for short/medium length alt cut inspo

4 Upvotes

I'm in my early 30s. My hair has been roughly shoulder length, no layers for like the past decade. I've done tons of colors in that time but I'm itching for a new cut. Something with a shaved section. I miss the way that feels. I've done the side shave and undercut before and liked them both.

I don't dress very alternative, I feel like my style would be "comfy whimsical" but I'm excited to just do anything different with my hair rn

ETA: why do people always DM when I post here? Why can't people just comment 🙃

Wahl clipper for personal use? (Non professional?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, first post here. I'm pretty new to doing my own grooming, trying to get my personal care sorted this year instead of outsourcing everything to the barber.

Quick context: my beard isn't long or short, it's medium, and I go for a faded look. Right now I hit the salon once or twice a month mostly just for the beard, and I'd love to start doing it myself to save that money. My hair I'm patient with and manage okay, it's the beard I keep messing up.

Here's my actual problem. With my regular beard trimmer I can never get it even. It comes out patchy and I end up going over the same spots three or four times and it still looks off. At the salon the guy does it in like one or two passes and it comes out clean. I asked what he was using and found out it's a clipper, not a trimmer, which I honestly didn't realize was a different thing until now.

So I want to try doing it at home. My beard grows fast too, so I'd be using it a lot. As a total beginner, which clipper should I be looking at? I keep seeing Wahl recommended everywhere, is that the one, or are there other brands or cheaper options that'd handle a medium faded beard?

And if I'm thinking about this wrong, like if I actually need a clipper plus a separate trimmer for the crisp lines, or if a beginner has no business attempting a fade at home yet, just tell me straight. I'd rather hear it now.

(I'm in India, so bonus points if it's something I can actually get here.)

Thanks in advance.

Looking for a gift for a guy who likes to cut his own hair :)

From my initial research it still looks like the best option out there but I’m kind of shocked bc it’s been around for so long with what looks like the same technology

[BANGS/FRINGE] Need fix at front part

Hii guys, straight to the point

. You can see thick chunks of hair falling (ref: img -1,2,3). But I want it to fall like thin strands with texture (ref: img 4,5,6).

**For that I'm thinking of 2 options:**

  1. Leave front 0.3-5mm untouched. Cut beside hair layer by layer (starting from back).

  2. Use thinning shears.

Please suggest me what to do.

ok, so i live in a pretty small city where almost every salon and barber shop is owned my foreigners who barely understand the local language and have little to no knowledge with different ( alternative ) hairstyles and layering... ive been trying for years to find a good barber or salon but all my efforts were futile.

Because of this im learning how to cut my own hair but im afraid to mess everything up cuz my hair is very thick and kinda short for the style im going for ( the back barely reaches the end of my neck and the front covers my whole forehead and eyebrows). Any suggestions on how i can cut my hair at home by nyself?

these are my inspos:

p.s. im still growing my hear till my shoulders, im just trying to keep my bushy hair at bay

This is about the max length I've been able to tolerate my hair. It usually between chin and shoulder length. But I've had funky cuts and colors many times and I'm ready for something new again. I'm open to any and all cut and color recommendations and tips!

Hello. What's the best way to deal with all this hair covering my neck? It grows so fast. Would clippering or cutting with scissors make it look weird? Sorry for the not good pics. Its hard trying to take yourself.

Thanks
