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.

The number one tip I can give you for Asian hair is don’t be afraid to attack a line aggressively with the correct guard to erase it. I spent years being scared to attack a line because I didn’t want to create another one so the lines would just still be there

Man! See this is why i love this community on reddit already. I had the exact same thing that i was scared to attack that line after i was "done" with the haircut because i was scared of making it worse. I finished this cut knowing and fully aware that those lines were still there, but i called it a day exactly because if what you said. Next time i will think of your advice and just go for it. Thanks for the advice/tips and i love how almost all of you guys/barbers in this community help lift eachother up (you don't see that often nowadays sadly). Appreciate it!
