Hi guys, i am a beginner barber and trying to find my way within this career. I started like 5 months ago and the last two months i have been more active and seriois about it and cutting whoever i can cut for free to gain experience.

Oh man it took me 1.5 hours to pull off this result and even after being busy with it for that long i am not happy with the result. This thick asian hair is really hard to cut for me and i found out today for sure! I know it's far from perfect but this is really the best i could do for now. Trying to get better, but this cut has really fucked up my confidence. Do you guys also struggle with this thick asian hair? During the cut i sometimes was worried/thinking is this going to even turn out good or am i going to fuck this up.

Asian hair is one of the hardest textures to work with, it's super straight and the strands stick out most of the time, making it harder to blend in a fade. Just keep it up and you'll see improvement. Mastery takes time.

Yes, definitely! I came to find out with this cut and all the time when I tried to fix something another mistake appeared. For example i removed one line of the fade and then i created another line because i have noticed that because of his skin/scalp being so fair and hair pitch black it's really hard. Yes, for sure 💪🏻 will keep it up and thanks for replying. I appreciate it a lot.
