CUTTING HAIR
The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you become accus
-
tomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair. Always start by placing
the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter combs (or settings – if
using adjustable guide combs) if a shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over the
head and a light trimming at lower neck and sides may be all that is needed
to bring back that neat, well groomed look.
For uniform cutting, allow the trimmer to cut its way through the hair. Do not
force it through at a faster rate.
1.Start by combing the hair so it falls in its natural direction.
2.Place the largest guide comb onto your trimmer and start by trimming
the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the trimmer lightly against the hair,
with teeth of the guide comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift
the trimmer up and outward through the hair, cutting only a small amount at
a time. Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you desire shorter hair, either change to a shorter guide comb (or setting
– if using adjustable combs) or apply more pressure and less lift away from
head with the present attachment.
This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave to
much hair the first few haircuts.
For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the No.1
guide comb (if your kit includes the 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” guide comb, you may use
this for a slightly longer cut.) With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start
trimming from front to back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the first
few haircuts.
