THE CONAIR GUIDE TO CUTTING
HAIR AT HOME
Before you start:
1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it's
free of hair and dirt, properly oiled, and
running smoothly.
2. Place a towel or cape around the neck
of the person.
3. Seat the person so that his or her head is at
your eye level. This gives you greater
visibility and control.
4. First, comb hair until it's tangle-free. Then
hold clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you're
ready to cut.
MEDIUM TO LONG CUT
To begin with, cut only a small amount of hair
until you become used to the length each
attachment leaves the hair. Try the longest
attachment on the clipper first. If you want a
shorter cut, you can then use shorter combs.

• Left ear attachment comb lightly tapers
over left ear.
• Right ear attachment comb lightly tapers
over right ear.
NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper through
the hair to make it move more quickly. Pro-
fessional experience shows that the clipper
works most efficiently when it cuts through
the hair at its own speed.
To begin cutting hair:
Attach combs by
holding the teeth
up, then snapping
onto the bottom of
the clipper blade.
To remove comb
attachments, place
index finger and
thumb as
trated; then pull out
and up.
1. The hair should be
combed in its natural
direction.
2. Using the
attachment comb, trim
sides from the bottom up-
wards. Hold clipper lightly
against the hair with teeth
