STEP 5 -THE FINISHING TOUCH
1. Finally, use the taper lever 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
hair clipper by turning the reverse side uppermost(see
diagram 7).
3. Press the clipper at right angles to the head tips of the blades
lightly touching the skin and work downwards. This way you
will obtain, as a clean cut as would be given by 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. Then cut the hair against
the direction in 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 rather than by 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 and outlining sideboards and neckline as
described previously.
