3.7.3. Side of the head
1. Change to one of the shorter guide combs #1 or
#2, trim sideburns, i.e. the hair directly in front of the
ears. Change to one of the longer guide combs, #3
or #4, and continue to cut to the top of the head (see
diagram 3).

3.7.4. Top of the head
1. Using the #3 or #4 guide comb attachment, cut
the hair on the top of the head from back to front
against the direction in which the hair normally
grows (see diagram 4). In some cases, this may
require the reverse, or cutting from front to back.
2. Guide comb attachments #1 or #2 are used to
achieve a close crew cut or short cut.
3. For longer hair on top, lift the hair with a comb
or hold the hair between your fingers and use the
clippers to cut to the desired length (see diagrams 5
and 6). Always work from the back of the head. Hair
can be cut shorter gradually by reducing the space
between the comb/ fingers, and the head. Comb out
trimmed hair and check for uneven strands.

3.7.5. The finishing touches
1. Finally, use the blade without an attachment comb
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 clipper by turning the reverse side upwards
(see diagram 7).
3. Place the clipper at a 90° angle towards the head,
allow the tips of the blades to lightly touch the skin and
work downwards. This method will give a cut as clean
as that of a razor.

3.7.6. Short tapered styles (FLAT TOPS AND SHORT
CUTS)
1. Starting with the longest attachment guide comb
(#4), cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold
the attachment guide 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. Cut the hair
against the direction to 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 instead of using
the attachment guide comb.
4.Use closer cutting attachment guide combs to taper
the hair down to the neckline as desired. Comb hair
and check for uneven areas.
