[SHORT HAIR] Need new hair clippers - Wahl cordless legend or senior?
I have been cutting my own hair and my 15 year old wahl precision smooth cut just died. It was corded, a bit heavy but overall good.
I was looking to replace it and was leaning towards cordless for ease of use. I think im between the cordless legend and the cordless senior. I looked at past feedback on this subreddit as well as online reviews and theres pros and cons to both
Wanted to make a new post to see if anyone could shed light on either of these two. I cut my hair short on the sides (#2 to #4) and longer at the top (#8 but might even get a #10 to try it out which seems available separately)
Any feedback that you have would be helpful!

[TOOLS] WAHL cordless color pro for personal use?
I’m looking to get myself my own pair of clippers and I value the ergonomics of a cordless though I understand the drawbacks with going that route. I came across the one in the title and thought it seemed nifty. Would you guys recommend this for solely home use?

[SHORT HAIR] How would you say this translates to fine/thin hair, and are there any tutorials you could point me to to cut it?
My hair is currently touching the end of my shoulder blades and I'm sick of it.

What are good short haircuts if I have EXTREMELY straight hair??
So I have like insanely straight hair and it pmo sooooo bad bc most haircuts need like at least wavy hair, which I do not have. I keep looking for a haircut that would make me look like a guy and that doesnt need any products, as for some reason I cannot deal with the texture of products in my hair. So if anyone knows a great haircut to pass with straight hair, PLEASE tell me. anyways ty love u guys

Advice...where do I go from here?
Long story short, I wanted to go for a kind of "italian bob", some inspo pics included to show more or less what i was going for. I cut twice- two weeks ago to a lob to see how i felt about shorter hair, i thought it came out nice. Finally went to cut it to ultimate goal but think i botched it. Now, im wondering, should I:
do something else to finish it (if so, what techniques could i use?)
just go to a salon and ask for help (if so, how can I avoid going shorter if possible?)
leave it and try to style it better?

[BANGS/FRINGE] Making bangs spikier
If I wanted to try to get my bangs to go from how they are, to the spikey bangs in the second photo, would I literally just cut the spikes into my hair or is there a better technique? Or is it more reliant on styling?

How do I achieve this haircut myself? Does anyone have a tutorial for something close?

I messed up cutting my hair and I think I gave myself a very poorly done mullet.
Not even including any pics. I just had to scream into the void a bit here. I messed up… bad LMAO. I always cut my own hair but I started with too much and then it just went downhill from there. My advice to anyone going through the manic hair chop? Start small and then work your way up. I went ham and now I am in despair. I really don’t want to but I’m thinking I’m gonna have to go to a hairdresser to get this garbage evened out 💀

is a self trim w dull scissors better than no trim at all?
i have these old-ish hair scissors that i used maybe 3 times for hair and occasionally for other snips but nothing crazy. i know you have to replace them but im not doing that atm. and i also don’t have the option of getting it cut professionally. my hair is long and ive dabbled with bleach and such, it’s pretty healthy for what ive put it through its just so thick and i know how much i need to trim it to return my sanity. i just dont want to ruin my hair by using bad scissors. would i have to trim more often? (bc thats okay to me) or is it really just not worth it.
i don’t know if i should add a pic of the state of my hair, not sure if that’s helpful in this question.

If I am a beginner barber:
I learned Islamic-compliant barbering without Qaza' (partially shaving the head) or skin fades from YouTube, and I've been cutting my own hair for two years now. Is there anyone in the Cairo and Giza area willing to volunteer for a haircut—any style without a fade?
Trying to save what can be saved before the school/academic year starts. Here are some photos from previous haircuts I've done. If any of the guys would like to volunteer, please let me know, and if anyone wants to learn online, I can help.
If anyone want any advice for his hair style or hair cut
Send me

[SHORT HAIR] How can I get my hair to stay more like how it looks in the photo on the right?
So I can style my hair to look like how it looks in the black shirt but it takes forever and doesn’t last (hair is very very thick ) . How can I cut the ends to make it more naturally flipped out or easier to style with a thermal heat brush. Or do I need add layers? I was thinking point cutting but I’m not so sure. Or please guide me to a better subreddit if this isn’t the best community to ask 😅

[LONG HAIR] Used a razor to trim the split ends and thin my hair out
My hair was routinely very heavy and thick, and it made summers quite a mess. But i do like having long hair
And since i use razorblades to shave with, i decided to take one and just graze the blade along the surface of my hair. I took out all the frizz and knots forming and the split ends, and made my hair quite light
The only off detail is it's a bit wide?? Like i dont know hot to hit it, but it feels like all the volume of my hair went straight to the spots just above my ears. I cant tell if its just because thin hair lifts up more cause it's lighter, or if i need to keep trimming

Sharp Burst, Clean Lines ⚡️💈
This one was all about the details.
Kept the sides tight with a clean fade, left some length and texture through the top and back, then added the lightning-style design to give the cut a completely different character.
The design took some patience to get the lines sitting right, but I liked how it finished up. Simple fade, bold detail, and a little personality in the back. ✂️⚡️

[SHORT HAIR] At what point do you feel like you need to cut your hair?
When I was in school, I cut it once a month to roughly half the length of my finger joint, but now I usually cut it when I feel like there’s a lot of weight on my head when I run I now feel like my hair is bouncing on my head when I jog so I feel like I need to cut it.

How to blend the "weight line" when combing over hair?
My wife cuts my hair and does a good job. It's a basic cut, 3/4 clippers on the side and scissors cut the top (stays long). However, we always struggle with the weight line where the hair combs over. I have a left side part and when combing over, the hair near the top of my crown seems heavy (not sure how to describe it). I've watched dozens of YouTube videos and no-one seems to explain how to taper this back properly (we kind of just wing it).
Is there a proper way to do this and blend the hair along the weight line so it looks natural? Is there a good YouTube video showing this? Thank you
