for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer upside down when necessary to keep
cutting against the grain. Make sure both sides of the head are even.
3. For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual guide comb
attachments. The smaller the number of the comb, the shorter the cut. Comb
or brush the hair as you cut for an even end result.
4. To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming up and

repeat all around, turning the trimmer upside down and cutting downward.
The final objective is to blend the hair so there is no real line, just a perfect
fade from bald to very short hair. You can achieve this by using the #1 guide
comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting until you achieve the desired
effect.
5. To create a part, pick a spot off-center. Pull the scalp tight and with the end
of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer back and forth to
cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut is precise.

placing the largest guide comb on the trimmer, then use shorter combs if a
shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over
the head and a light trimming at the lower neck and sides may be all that is
needed to bring back that neat, well-groomed look.

2. Place the largest guide comb onto your trimmer and start by trimming the
sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the trimmer lightly against the hair, with
teeth of the guide comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the
