Men hair clipper1/11/2024 The smaller the guard number, the shorter the hair. Each guard size determines the length of the hair. The small comb covers the range from 3-24mm/.1-.94 inch while the larger comb covers the range from 14-35mm/.55-1.3 inch. At Braun, our hair clippers consist of 16 built-in guards with two adjustable guiding combs. Majority of hair clipper sets provide 8 guards, numbered 1 through 8, either as attachments or built-in settings. After towel drying, style as desired.īefore we jump into how to cut your own hair with clippers, it is important for us to break down the hair length numbers, or guards, in detail. Once you are finished with the cut, rinse your head to remove any loose strays that are caught in your hair or on your neck and face. Start with a grazing cut at the top of the neckline, then cut progressively closer as you work toward the nape. With your hair or beard clippers, taper your nape, or neckline. Step 9: Make final touches on your haircut Place your fingers below each sideburn to make sure they are the same length. Use the depression below your cheekbone to determine where the bottom should be. Using your hair clippers or a razor, cut your sideburns beginning from the bottom to the top to your desired length. A good rule of thumb is to always cut a little less to start and touch up more later. Comb your hair straight out and grab a horizontal section from about the same point on each side of your head to see if the sections are the same length. Once your cut is complete, use a mirror to check your sides and the back of your head to make sure everything is even. Always start with conservative cuts, working your way to the length you desire. As you trim, pull a little of the previously cut section into the new section as a guideline. Be sure to work slowly and carefully in 1/4 inches/6 millimeters sections. Use your fingers or a comb to raise the hair from the top of your head so that your hair is parallel to the front of your hairline. Household scissors do not suffice as they are not sharp enough to cut your hair. Using hair scissors, begin trimming the top of your hair in sections. Be sure to lift your hair as you approach your temples and earlobes Work slowly while using your hair clippers to ensure as even of a fade as possible. Next, go over the lower half of your hair with your clippers on a lower guard than what you started with to fade out your hair. Use the same guard length on the back and sides of your hair unless your hairstyle calls for something different. To make sure you're cutting evenly, hold a mirror behind you so you can check your progress as you cut. It takes time to learn how to cut the back of your own hair so be sure to go slow. Once the sides of your hair are complete, trim the back of your head, moving from the bottom to the top as you did with the sides. Repeat this process on the other side of your head before moving to the back, making sure each side is even as you go along. Tilt the clipper blade at an angle as you work to create an even fade with the rest of your hair. With the blade's edge, trim from the bottom of the sides to the top. From there, begin cutting the sides and back of your hair. From there, section your hair to how you normally wear it or would like to wear it.Īfter choosing the hairstyle you would like, set your hair clippers to the corresponding guard (usually a lower number) that you need to start with. Step 2: Cut your hair in a comfortable placeīe sure that you have access to a mirror and water prior to cutting your own hair with hair clippers. Be sure to comb your hair and that it is completely dried before cutting as wet hair doesn’t lay the same as dry hair, and can result in a different look than what you were going for. Clean hair will make it easier cutting your own hair as greasy hair tends to stick together and get caught in the hair clippers.
