BLENDING
When you want to blend from one section to the next, you will need to practice moving the
clipper in an upward rocking motion. This motion will leave the hair slightly longer where the
clipper pulls away from the scalp, enabling you to blend between the sections and achieve
a smooth transition from one length of hair to the next. This technique will enhance the
appearance of your haircuts.
