Hair clipper (mains) For Medium to long cuts The first time you cut the hair, cut only a small amount until you have become accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair. Always start by placing the largest guide comb on the clipper and then use the shorter combs if a shorter length is desired. Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over the head and a light trimming at the lower neck and sides may be all that is needed to bring back that neat, well groomed look.
Hair clipper (mains) Tapering around ears Using left and right ear guide combs. By following the outline of the ear with the appropriate comb you achieve a gradual taper and blending without having to use multiple combs. To taper the area bordering the left ear Attach the left ear taper comb to your clipper and stand facing the left ear. While holding the clipper at a slight angle against the head, position the guide comb just back of the left ear at the hairline.
Hair clipper (mains) Crew cuts and short cuts Starting with the longest guide comb, cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair. Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows, from the front to the crown. To give a flat top look, the hair on the top of the head must be over the top of a flat comb, rather than using the guide comb.
