Cut Buddy University, we are back with a new tutorial on how to use the Cut Buddy tool to help us apply enhancements to our line-up.
First, let's do a quick line-up prep. Spray down the hairline with some holding spray, brush down those loose hairs. We're then going to use the Cut Buddy tool to help us outline our vertical bars on both ends of our temple. Use your mirror, make sure your vertical bars are straight.
We're then going to use that same Cut Buddy tool to help us outline our front line. Again, make sure you're utilizing that white barber pencil to help see that your line is as straight as possible. Take a look at that, very straight! So this white line, we're not going to leave that white line there. We will take it out using our trimmers. We want to soften that white outline. We don't want to leave the house with that white line on our heads, but it's useful as a guideline.
Now we're going to take the Cut Buddy barber tool and we're going to use our enhancements. In this case, we're using the fibers. So you want to make sure when you're using the fibers that you have the application pump about one to two inches away from your skin, and you just pump it easily to apply those enhancements. You don't want to apply too much enhancements – you still want your edge-up to look natural, but you're just giving a much more crisper, sharper, cleaner look. But it still has to look very much natural as possible.
Here we have it, the finished enhanced edge-up to your look. Super clean!
Key Takeaways

1. The first step is to prep your line-up. To do this, just spray down your hairline with a holding spray and brush down any loose hairs.
2. Take the Cut Buddy shaping tool to outline the vertical bars on both ends of your temple. Line the tool up with your temple and draw a vertical line with the Cut Buddy barber pencil.
