THE ESSENTIAL CUT / TOOL TIPS
11
CREATING A SHORT BACK & SIDES LOOK, WITH
LENGTH ON THE TOP
1. Ensure the clipper is switched off.
2. Attach the desired cutting comb guide as required.
3. Switch the clipper on – the blades will start to move.
4. Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing towards
the back of your head and move the clipper towards your crown. Repeat as
necessary, moving in rows from the front and the sides of your head to the
back.
5. If you then wish to take the back and sides of your hair to a shorter length,
switch off the appliance and attach a shorter comb guide.
6. Start cutting at the nape of the neck, and with the comb guide flat against
the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you want to
take shorter.
7. Repeat on the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the clipper pointing
upwards and comb guide flat against the area above the ear, again moving
the clipper upwards and outwards.
