So i started cutting my own hair ~6 months ago, and i noticed these random bald spots that have appeared and stay permanently (ik it looks small but its more noticeable irl). These def werent there before and online it said it could be because I wasnt cleaning the clippers properly (not using barbicide after, etc). I was wondering if anyone has encountered anything similar and how to prevent this. I’m not sure if its my cutting technique or the lack of cleaning or something else.

I’ve been doing a skin fade if that matters.

I’ve buzzed my head twice now and in the period of 6-10 months after growing it out, my hair is the best it’s ever been. Is there a way to cut my hair to where it is all the same length? (a hair from the top of my head is 5 inches long and a hair from the nape of my neck is also 5 inches long, for example) I’m imagining lots of ponytails and some help from a friend, but does anybody know what I’m talking about?

This is a few months old, but in the photo, I’ve just let my hair grow out naturally and would like the same effect again without having to buzz my head 😅 I trimmed my bangs slightly to get the hair out of my eyes, but I do not use any styling products or heat. I tried getting a cut at a salon recently and they gave me a shitty mullet. :/

first time cutting hair with a good clipper, and yes i messed it up, any tips recommendations are welcome
guards used : 0.5 - 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 3 -5 & 8 for the top
also i had a hard time with the back, help me

Seems the bottom housing and a bit of top where has nameplate the battery gets a bit warm during charging. My other clippers do not get warm during charge. Is this normal for the Magic Clips? Ref these are the black edition Magic Clips from couple years back

1- is it really worth it to zero gap? im doing tapers and fades so i searched about it a little bit, from what i understand, we're talking about a 0.1 - 0.2 mm difference, so is it really worth it?
2- can razors replace the shaver? i dont think i can buy that now.
3- i didnt use the clippers yet, should i oil it or just start using it? and how often should i oil it?
thanks a lot

Hello!! My boyfriend just started buzzing his hair, and has been having his dad do it for him with a one inch guard. He likes the length a lot but he wants a set of clippers so he can do it easily himself. I want to get him a really nice set as a holiday gift and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations, something that includes a 1-inch guard and is easy for him to use by himself! Thanks!

I've liked the Wahl Edge Pro, but they break at the slightest little bump because the head is held in place by weak plastic clips. The Remington HC5855 was a bust because it barely cuts and when it does, the stubble length is so long. The Braun XT5 was also a bust as it catches often and the shave is too close. Overall, I prefer corded because I don't want to deal with charging and a weakening motor. Suggestions? Price isn't a concern.

So i finally got some money for the clippers, but not much, so i need to stay low
for now im doing cuts for me and my brothers but once i get good im thinking about turning it to a side hustle
main focus will be fades and tapers, so im looking for a lever and low guards ( 0.5,1.5,..etc)

some clippers i found interesting :
wahl clipper idk the name
wahl elite pro kit

I used clippers on the sides and just trimmed the top a good amount. Any feedback is welcome.

I been cutting my own hair for almost a year now its hard to do mid fades i can only do this but hows it looking any tips?

It’s supposed to be an undercut/ disconnect but also a manbun when we want. Is it really that bad? His hair was in a top knot all day is why the top is all over the place but this is fresh after the cut, no bath yet

I have very thick and strong hair, so I need the most powerful hair clipper I can get, these two models seem the best, but I don't know which one to choose. In my country the Wahl Elite Pro Premium 20106-0460 (Corded) costs $133.23 and the Wahl Legend 08147-416H (Corded) costs $106.58, I've also checked the prices in foreign shops and it seems that abroad the Wahl Legend is more expensive than the Wahl Elite Pro, so which one I should choose?

Have you ever thought about modeling your long hair? Getting paid for having it cut?

Can someone suggest a budget "this is my first time ever to cut my hair" clippers and cleaning tools. Preferably clippers that can be bought in a local store. I am based in Canada so like shoppers, walmart etc. Much appreciated :>

Hey!

I am not so good at cutting the top of my hair, so I looked up videos on YouTube how to do it. And I have found this video: https://youtu.be/fw_IM81qAk8?si=OcOSbKvhqX_ykBEb&t=117

Anyone else has experince with this technique (cutting it with clippers the same way your hair grows)? I'm skeptical because I don't see anywhere else that mentions that you can cut hair this way. Except for this guy in the video.

And I already tried it but I am not sure if it is really making my hair shorter or just cutting random hairs, and it is not cutting them evenly?

I thought there might be some experts on this Reddit who can answer :)

Hi, I”m looking for trimmers to start giving myself mid/skin fades. My budget is around 60$. Are these a good option?

done trimming 🥰❤️

After my first self-cut, I am now left with a baldy, not a buzz cut but a baldy. Are there any tips that helped you guys get better? Any and all advise will be helpful.
