Handy Hints

Crew cuts and Short cuts

Starting with the longest guide comb, cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair, as shown.

Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as show. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows, from the front to the crown, and even up the cut with the sides.

To give a "flattop" look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb, rather than using the guide comb.

Use closer-cutting guide combs to "taper" the hair down to the neckline, as desired. Comb hair and check for uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neckline as previously described.
