You Should Basically Trim Up To Almost The Temple Area.
Attach a lower number guard to your clipper; Using the tips of your scissors, start detailing around the ears, angling the scissors almost parallel to the hair growth, this allows a softer line. You can start with a #0 or #1.
Comb All Of Your Hair Forward, Outside Your Hairline, Toward The Face.
Spray the hair with water. Hold your scissors vertically and use short snips to cut the ends of your hair. Try to keep the line you are trimming across the head as straight as possible.
Use Your Fingers Or A Comb To Raise The Hair From The Top Of Your Head.
Using the ruler in line with the eyebrows, move the clipper up. The parts of the hair that will be getting buzzed with clippers should stay dry. Next, direct the side hair over the sideburns, toward the ears.
It Also Makes It Easier To Cut The Hair Off Cleanly.
Trim your hair horizontally using your fingers as a guide. As you trim, pull a little of the previously cut section into the new section as a traveling guideline. Using a comb, bristles facing up, lift the hair on the lower half of the head and begin to cut (¼ inch in length) from the base of your head.
If The Guard Falls Off, This Could Cause A Disaster With All Of The Hair.
Divide the rest of your hair in the back, starting at the crown of your head. Always rest and look in the mirror at what you have just cut rather than proceeding too far. First, using your electric hair clippers, trim from the neck up to around the middle of the back of the head with a #2 or 3 guard.
