Mains hair clipper instructions

For Longer Hair On Top
By not using a guide comb, a longer cut can be achieved. Use either a barber or regular
comb and lift the hair on top of the head, cutting over the comb, or grasp the hair
between the ngers and cut to desired length. Continue this procedure from the front to
the back of the head, gradually cutting the hair shorter by reducing the space between
the comb or the ngers and the head. Comb frequently to remove trimmed hair and
check for uneven strands.
Tapering Around Ears.
Using left and right ear guide combs. By following the outline of the ear with the appro-
priate comb you achieve a gradual taper and blending without having to use multiple
combs.
To Taper The Area Bordering the Left Ear.
Attach the left ear taper comb to your clipper and stand facing the left ear. While holding
the clipper at a slight angle against the head, position the guide comb just back of the
left ear at the hairline. Then move the clipper in a small half circle pattern around the left
ear toward the front of the head. Depending on the length of hair you are working with
you may need to take several small strokes as you proceed around the ear. When doing
so, slowly move the clipper upward and outward being mindful of the ear. This will allow
you to guide hair into the comb towards the clipper blades.
NOTE: You may also achieve a tapering of sideburns by including the side burn area
as you begin to move the clipper around the ear.
To Taper The Area Bordering The Right Ear.
Attach the right ear guide comb to your clipper. Stand facing the right ear and repeat the
process described above for the left ear.
Finish by outlining the area around the ear as described in the following section.
Outlining.
No attachments are needed; push the taper lever up to close cut position. Comb hair
into desired style. Starting between the ear and the sideburns, hold the clipper with the
corner edge of the blade against the hairline. Slowly follow the desired outline of the hair
over, around and behind the ears. For dening the sideburns and the back of the neck,
hold the clipper upside down, against the skin at the desired length and move down.
Comb hair and check that sides are even. Check for uneven spots throughout the
haircut.
