STEP 5 – The Finishing Touch
1. Finally, use the taper lever without an attachment for close trimming around the base
of the neck, the sides of the neck and the ears.
2. To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper by turning the
reverse side uppermost (see diagram 7).
3. Press the clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin
and work downwards. This way you will obtain a clean cut as would be given by razor.
Short Tapered Styles
"Flat Tops" And Short Cuts
1. Standing with the longest attachment comb (12mm), cut from the back of the neck to
the crown. Hold the attachment comb flat against the head and slowly move the
clipper through the hair, as shown (see diagram 8).
2. Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as illustrated.
Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows from the front to the crown
and then level the cut with the sides.
3. To give a "flat top" look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat
comb rather than by using the attachment comb.
4. Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
Comb the hair and check for uneven areas and outlining sideboards and neckline as
described previously.
