STEP 5 - THE FINISHING TOUCH

1.  Finally, use the blade without an attachment  
     comb for close trimming around the base of  
     the neck, the sides of the neck and the ears.
2.  To produce a clean straight line at the  
     sideburns, reverse the clipper by turning the   
     reverse side upwards (see diagram 7). 
3.  Place the clipper at a 90° angle towards the   
     head, allow the tips of the blades to lightly   
     touch the skin and work downwards. This  
     method will give a cut as clean as that of a razor. 

     
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

SHORT TAPERED STYLES
‘FLAT TOPS’ AND SHORT CUTS

1.  Starting with the longest attachment comb  
     (12mm), cut from the back of the neck to the  
     crown. Hold the attachment comb flat against the  
     head and slowly move the clipper through the  
     hair, as shown (see diagram 8).
2.  Use the same procedure from the lower side to  
     the upper side of the head, as illustrated. Cut the  
     hair against the direction to which it grows from  
     the front to the crown and then level the cut with  

     the sides. 

3.  To give a ‘flat top’ look, the hair on top of the  
     head must be cut over the top of a flat comb  
     instead of using the attachment comb.
4.  Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the  
     hair down to the neckline as desired. Comb hair  
     and check for uneven areas.
