THE CONAIR GUIDE

TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME

Before you start:

1. Inspect your clipper to make sure it is
free of hair and dirt, is properly oiled and is
running smoothly.

2. Place a towel or cape around the neck of
the person getting the haircut.

3. Seat the person so that his/her head is at
your eye level. This gives you greater visi­bility and control.

4. Comb hair until it is tangle-free. Hold the
clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you’re
ready to cut.

MEDIUM TO LONG CUT

To begin, cut only a small amount of hair
until you become used to the length each
attachment leaves the hair. Try the longest
attachment on the clipper first. If you want a
shorter cut, you can then use shorter combs.

• Short attachment comb (number 1) cuts
hair to 1/8”.

cheveux pour s’habituer à la longueur lais-
sée par la tondeuse. Débuter avec le peigne
le plus long pour ensuite passer à un
peigne plus court si l’on désire couper les
cheveux plus courts.

For longer hair on top,
use the barber comb
and lift hair on the top
of the head, cutting
over the comb, or
hold hair between fin­gers and cut to
desired length. Always

working from the
front to the back of the head, gradually cut
the hair shorter by reducing the space
between the comb or fingers and the head.
Comb often to check for uneven strands,
and to get rid of trimmed hair. For thicker
hair and more cutting power, press the turbo
button on the side.

OUTLINING

:

Outlining requires no attachments. Comb
the hair into the desired style, Position the
clipper between the sideburns and the ear
(see sketch) and make sure the corner
edge of the blade is against the hairline.
With the outline of the hair as your guide,
slowly move the clipper over, around and
behind the ears. For the back of the neck
and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside
down (see sketch) and, holding it against
the skin at the length desired, move the
clipper downward.

STOP. COMB. CHECK.

For best results, do as the professionals
do: comb the hair often and check results
as you comb. This way you can avoid
uneven sides, bangs, neckline, etc.

SHORTCUTS TO PERFECT FLAT
TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.

Always cut the hair from the back of the
neck toward the crown, using the longest
comb setting. Hold the comb attachment
flat against the head and slowly move the
clipper up through the hair. Use the same
technique for the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side of the head.

For the front of the crown, cut the hair
against its natural direction. Then even it
up with the sides.
For a flat top use a flat comb, not the
attachment comb. Just cut top hair by
running the clipper over the comb.
To taper hair down to the neckline, use the
lower settings attachment comb. Comb the
hair and check for uneven spots. Outline the
sideburns and neckline areas (see Outlining).
