STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCH:
a)
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.
b)
To produce a clean straight line
at the sideburns, reverse the
Clipper by turning the reverse side uppermost (see
diagram 7).
c)
Press the Clipper at right angles to the head, tips of
the blades lightly touching the skin and work
downwards. This way will obtain, as a clean cut as
would be given by a razor.

SHORT TAPERED STYLES, ‘FLAT TOPS’ & SHORT CUTS:
a)
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).
b)
Use the same procedure from the lower side to the
upper side of the head, as illustrated. Cut the hair
against the direction in which it grows from the front
to the crown and then level the cut with the sides.
c)
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.
d)
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.
