much easier to control the hair and
the result.
- Comb hair well before cutting.
Make sure that there are no tangles
or knots.
- Hold the appliance in a calm and
relaxed manner in order to ensure
maximum control of the cut and a
uniform result. Proceed to use short
cuts gradually going around the head.
- Leave the hair a little longer than
desired length as it can always be
altered later.
- While working adapt the comb /

results so far.
