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. Then move the clipper in a small half circle pattern

around the left ear toward the front of the head. Depending on

the length of hair you are working with you may need to take

several small strokes as you proceed around the ear. When

doing so, slowly move the clipper upward and outward being

mindful of the ear. This will allow you to guide hair into the comb

towards the clipper blades.

NOTE: You may also achieve a tapering of sideburns by

including the side burn area as you begin to move the clipper

around the ear.

To taper the area bordering the right ear

Attach the right ear guide comb to your clipper. Stand facing the

right ear and repeat the process described above for the left ear.

Finish by outlining the area around the ear as described in the

following section.

Outlining

No attachments are needed; push the taper lever up to close cut

position. Comb hair into desired style. Starting between the ear

and the sideburns, hold the clipper with the corner edge of the

blade against the hairline. Slowly follow the desired outline of the

hair over, around and behind the ears. For dening the sideburns

and the back of the neck, hold the clipper upside down, against

the skin at the desired length and move down

Comb hair and check that sides are even. Check for uneven

spots throughout the haircut.
