[QUOTE="Old Nate, post: 461907, member: 3621"] I've been cutting my own hair for about 5 years... I use simple wahl clippers from Walmart. My art was about $30 and it has guards number 8 all the way down to a 1/2.... in the summer I use a 2 on the sides and fade to the top. The top I trim with scissors. The scissors part is pretty easy. I go with a lazy part on the side and the beauty of this is the top doesn't need to be exact because it lies pretty flat on my head, but it's easy to get the top of my hair on my noggin pretty even. The hard part is the back, esp w the fade, but if you're going 2 or 4 or whatever all over, I think you got this. Invest in a cheap standing mirror that you can put beside your bathroom mirror and that will let you see the back without contorting your body all over so you can see. For my neckline I like to hit the very bottom with a #1 and it usually makes for a smooth transition to the #2 on my sides. Only do this for the bottom inch or less. The first couple times you might stumble a little, but you'll figure out what works for you... [/QUOTE]
