General hair cutting information
- The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry.
- If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired.
- Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the clipper through the hair faster than the clipper can cut it.
- In between, shake or blow off the hair from the clipper. If too much hair is caught in the distance comb, remove it.
- To control your progress during clipping, regularly comb the hair in the style desired.
