ok, so im tryna get in tha hair cuttin game. ive lined up myself plenty of times, and only cut someones once (my lil cousin). on another board ima member of, they gave me some advice on WHAT clippers to buy etc.. they suggested me some Andis clippers. i havent bought those clippers yet (still bankin up), but i DO have some WAHL clippers.

what i wanna knoe now is, how exactly to do a TAPER? u use 3 different numbers right? a 0, then a 1, then a 2..? and make it all blend? right? but a question i have is: do u start at tha bottom, with tha 0 and work ur way up, OR do u start with tha 2 and work ur way down?

any advice, suggestions, tips, etc would be appreciated. THANKS.

(oh btw, first post:) glad to be here!)

alright, if the person gettin a cut wants a 3 all around, start the taper w/ like a 2, then 1.5, then 1, then .5...then make that shit blend. for the back of the head do the bottom n go prolly like 2-3 inches up, but dont go too high or else you gotta give the nigga a fade. then do the same w/ the sideburns..go up like 2 inches, stop right at the top of their ears, too high fuck around n mess up.

Ifb you dont know what you doing and gotta ask questions. tehn just go to the professional barbershop bc you gonna nick your shit all up and have missing patches hair. lol you gonna be looking like KAMA THE SUPREME FIGHTING MACHINE hair used to look when he was in the WWF.

a taper is like a super low fade... just the sideburns and a lil off the back... why the fuck are you so persistant about gettin haircut information on a rap music site??
you should just call a barbershop... or go in and get a taper, have your mom videotape it
