BEGINNING THE HAIRCUT
Cutting hair requires practice so it is always better to leave the hair longer for the first few
haircuts until you become used to the length to which each comb attachment cuts the hair.
Attachment Combs
(see main diagram)
•
Attachment Comb #1 leaves 3mm (1/8 inch) hair
length.
•
Attachment Comb #2 leaves 6mm (1/4 inch) hair
length.
•
Attachment Comb #3 leaves 9mm (3/8 inch) hair
length.
•
Attachment Comb #4 leaves 12mm (1/12 inch)
hair length.
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its
outside middle surface.
•
To attach a comb, hold it with its teeth, upward
and slide it onto along the clipper blade until the
front of the comb firmly seats against the clipper
blade.
•
To remove the comb, simple pull the comb upward
and away from the clipper blade.
•
For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/cutter
to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it
through quickly. Also remember to comb the hair
frequently to remove trimmed hair and to check for
uneven strands.
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck
1.
Attach comb attachment 3mm or 6mm (#1 or #2)
2.
Hold the clipper cutting edge pointed up and begin
the haircut, starting at the center of the head at the
base of the neck (see diagram 1).
3.
Hold the clipper comfortably in your hand and hold
lightly against the head with the comb teeth
pointing upward. Gradually and slowly lift the
clipper, working upwards and outwards, through the
hair, trimming just a little at a time.
4.
As you cut, gradually lift the hair clipper head
towards you. Continue to cut the back area from the
bottom of the neck upwards to the top of the ears.
STEP 2 – Back of the head
Change to the next longest comb attachment 9mm or 12mm (#3 or #4) and cut the back of the
head (see diagram 2).
STEP 3 – Side of the head
