Clipping without comb attachment
You can obtain hair lengths of over 4 cm by using a styling comb or
your fingers together with the hair clipper without comb attachment.
C
1 Comb a small section of hair upwards against the direction of
growth.
2 Lift the hair with the comb or hold it between your fingers
until only the length that needs to be cut sticks out.
C
3 Use the clipper without the comb attachment to cut the hair
protruding from the comb or fingers.
The right cutting techniques
C
Always move the hair clipper AGAINST the direction of hair
growth, otherwise it will not cut the hair properly.
Make sure the comb attachment is always fully in contact with the
scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
Make slow and smooth movements and carefully follow the
contours of the head.
Comb the hair frequently to remove cut hair.
When clipping the crown, pass the clipper slowly over the crown
from different directions to achieve an even cutting result.
Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper
catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time
so that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long and thin hair,
use a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.
Graduation
The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut hair evenly at the
same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth
transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the
back and sides of the head.
1 First clip all the hair at the longest setting.
2 Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of
the head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.
