hairstyles from textures to tune this is Fahim Alexander let's go so the first one we guy has the dirt feed this is a taper style cut with a comb-over and a part we taper the bottom you know either a1 to a2 to a3 dingo only up to the point even though different companies have different sizes there's a general standard for clipper guide numbers generally the clipper guard number represents the number of 1/8 inches of hair left on the head lower number clipper guards leave less hair on the head a higher number clipper guards be more hair on the head the number 1 guard leaves 1/8 length of the hair on the head the number 2 guard leaves 1/4 limp the number 3 guard these 3/8 list the number 4 guard bees 1 half its length of the hair on the head did you notice a difference between the taper anything a tape restorer set short hair wears or thin starts at skin here we have the skin drop feed one of my favorites is real smooth and easy to do start off skinning it fall you want to go from a 0 to a 1 to a 2 and feed it all the way up to your pump so in this next photo we got here is the taper fade with long hair this fade right here is one of my favorite fades from the 81.5 guard trim off a little off the top I think every barbershop can be a safe place for women check this cut out that I'm gonna do it on my friend Rea oh yeah I love the style of every people - thank you I'm

behind Brooke was ask somebody with Brooklyn yeah so you know a lot of cats instead of getting a full-on fade they just want to get the Brooklyn which is just taper the edges a little bit you know I want my own tapered I usually want to get a higher taper so I'll call it - hi Brooke this is some different terminology right anywhere else they just say give me a temple thing that's it so to make this ha Brooke I want to brush it out where I'm going to do most of my work out so I got my outline of twos here and I'm just gonna start to make a small thing maybe booties all day long down the feel
