LINING UP
The term “lining up” can be used in many terms in the barbershop
meaning shape up, edge up, or line up. It is when the hairline is
cleaned free of any hair on the natural hairline on the forehead,
sideburns, or neck line to give a visual of a tight, defined crisp line.
It is usually done with a trimmer or straight razor. The hair outline
defines the haircut. Below you will find Wahl Master Barber, Ben
Phillips’s step-by-step instructions on how to create a crisp, tight
lineup for all hair textures.
*This is a technique for consumers who are lining and detailing
their own facial hair.
1. Cut hair to desired length. Brush
hairline forward using a soft bristle
brush to remove all loose hairs.
2. Make sure trimmer blade is angled
correctly at a 90º angle. The
bottom blade should be facing you,
perpendicular on an horizontal plain.
Touch or tap the edge of the hairline
with the trimmer blade teeth to the
forehead hairline edge to start a guide.
The bottom blade must be facing you.
Tap the hair line from left to right. The
side burns can be blocked to your
desired length.
3. The facial hairline up depends on the
style you are trying to achieve. The
trimmer may be held in multiple
angles when trimming the face, but
the blades must always be facing you.
