MAINS CLIPPER
BALD FADE (Only applies to Baldfader Clipper)
Your Wahl Baldfader Clipper is designed to allow you to create
and maintain extremely close hair styles, such as the 'Bald Fade'.
Its fine-tooth, steel blades and powerful cool running motor give a
close, smooth cut every time.
1.This style leaves the head virtually bald at the bottom, fading to
slightly longer hair on top. If the hair is fairly long, use the clipper
over the comb technique to remove the bulk of the hair before
starting the bald fade cut.
2.Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to
establish the ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against
the grain for the shortest cut. Do not force the blade through the
hair. Let the clipper do the work.
3.Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck to
the fade line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the scalp
taut with the thumb for the closest cut. Turn the clipper upside
down when necessary to keep cutting against the grain. Make
sure both sides of the head are even.
4.For the top of the head, cut with the grain. Comb or brush the hair
as you cut for an even end result.
5.To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming
up and across the line and against the grain all the way around
the head. Then, repeat all around, turning the clipper upside down
and cutting downward. The final objective is to blend the hair so
there is no real line, just a perfect bald to very short hair. Continue
combing and cutting until you achieve the desired effect.
