Use the right technique

For best results, use the right technique for trimming.

1. If your hair is longer than 3-4mm, then please pre-trim it using a longer comb. If you do not have different combs, shave and wait a week before trimming.
2. Move the trimming head over the skin very carefully against the direction of hair growth, while you stretch the skin with your free hand.
3. Apply gentle pressure, do not press the appliance too hard onto the skin.
4. Move the trimmer slowly and make sure it is in full contact with your skin.
