the haircutting tips? Find it here. From
sections of the head to a variety of
important clipping techniques, this is
your extra guide. Use it when you need it.
Guide combs attach to the clipper blade to cut hair to a
desired length. The combs are numbered and list the length
of the hair you’ll get by using each.

The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper
by allowing you to change the closeness of
your cut. The lever in the “Up” position is the
closest cut. The “Down” position is the longest
cut. Should your blades become jammed with
hair, move the taper lever up and down several
times. This action will help free up the blades.
When you want to blend one section of the
head to the next, you will need to practice
moving the clipper in an upward rocking
motion. Use the wrist by cutting the hair in an
upward motion and carefully pull the clipper
away from the scalp in fluent strokes. This
enables you to blend between the sections
and achieve a smooth transition from one
length of hair to the next
Comb the hair upward from the back or
toward you from the front, and stop before the
hair leaves the comb. Run the clipper across
the comb, cutting the hair to the appropriate
length.
For longer hair lengths, use your fingers to lift
the hair to the desired length away from the
head. Use the clipper to cut the hair along the
fingers. As you continue, you should include
a small amount of the previously cut hair to
use as a guide to help you maintain the proper
length.
Turn the clipper upside down so that the blade
is facing downward. Hold the clipper in your
hand as if it is a thick pencil, and touch the
blade to the skin. This technique will help you
clean up the hairline at the nape of the neck,
around the ears, and the sideburns.
