10. A FEW TIPS ON CLIPPING
• Use the clipper on hair that is clean and dry.
• Dry your hair in the style you are aim ing to achieve.
• Check that the clipper is correctly lubricated.
GB
• Position the person whose hair you are going to cut in such a way that you can easily see the top of
their head (Fig. 12).
• Place a towel around their neck and on their shoulders.
• Before clipping, use a com b to m ake sure that the hair is not tangled.
• Before you start clipping, take note of:
- the way the hair grows and any tufts,
- the hollows and bum ps on the head, often situated at the base of the neck (if you apply the clipper
directly onto a bum p, it will leave a clear patch).
• Make sure the clipper always stays at an angle to the head.
• To start w ith, cut only a sm all am ount of hair at a tim e, until you are fam iliar w ith the length left by
the com b's different settings.
• To obtain an even cut, never force the clipper to m ove too quickly through the hair by pushing it.
• Never stop m oving the clipper in the m iddle of the hair.
• Start by using the com b's m axim um setting (i.e. the one that leaves the greatest length of hair)
before trying the others.
Key:
= easy,
= requires som e experience of clipping,
= difficult.
11. TECHNIQUE FOR A CREW CUT
BASIC TECHNIQUE
With this technique, the cut follows the shape of the head.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 13).
• Don't forget to adjust the com b's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE:THE CUT
a) The neck.
• Com b the hair.
• Start by clipping the hair on the neck from the base up,
using the 21 m m setting.
• Hold the clipper firm ly against the hair, with the teeth of the com b pointed slightly upwards (Fig. 14).
• Slowly m ove the clipper up and away from the hair, cutting only a sm all am ount of hair at a tim e.
• When the hair on the neck is evenly cut to 21 m m , change the setting to the desired length and
repeat the first 3 steps (Fig. 15).
• Stop clipping at regular intervals, com b the hair and check the result obtained..
b) Sides and top
• Repeat the procedure to clip the sides.
• Change the com b settings as you clip different zones (see Fig. 13).
• For the top, use the sam e technique, working from the forehead to the crown of the head and
m oving against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 16). Then, even up the top and sides.
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
a) The neck and the sideburns.
• Com b the hair.
• Rem ove the com b attachm ent.
•Trim around the hairline, holding the clipper upside-down and perpendicular to the head, and m oving
downwards. Use short strokes (Fig. 17 and 18).
• Repeat the procedure for the sideburns (Fig. 19).

b) Around the ears
GB
• Carefully com b the hair around the ear. Rem ove the com b attachm ent.
• Hold the clipper at an angle but use only one corner of the cutting unit, slowly shaping
the desired outline and following the direction of the cut (Fig. 20).
Advice:
• When you use the clipper without the com b attachm ent, keep your m ovem ents light and steady.
• When outlining, keep the clipper perpendicular to the skin to avoid injury (Fig. 21).
12. TECHNIQUE FOR AN AMERICAN-STYLE CUT
Very very short sides and neck, and very short on top.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 22).
• Don't forget to adjust the com b's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE:THE CUT
•To cut the hair on the sides and neck, see the "Crew cut" section.To finish the
cut, use the 3 m m setting to shave the head.
• For the zone on top of the head
(see Fig. 22), use the 9 or 12 m m settings to keep a greater length. Cut the hair
from the front towards the back.
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
• See the paragraph on "Outlining" in the "Crew cut" section.
13. TECHNIQUE FOR CUTTING OVER A STYLING COMB OR FINGERS
(flat-top cut)
This cut gives a flat surface on the top of the head.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 23).
• Don't forget to adjust the com b's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE:THE CUT
• For this type of cut, the prelim inary hair-drying is very im portant (Fig. 24).
• When drying your hair, work against the way the hair grows so that the hair
stands upright.
• Start cutting on the sides and the neck, using the cutting lengths indicated in
fig. 23. (For the cutting technique, see the "Crew cut" section.)
•To obtain perfectly flat hair on the top, use a barber's com b or your fingers (Fig. 25 and 26):
- rem ove the com b attachm ent,
- using a barber's com b (or your fingers), lift a sm all section of hair (the hair should be held vertical),
- m ove the com b or your fingers along the hair to the desired length,
- use the clipper to cut the hair above the com b or your fingers, using the latter as a guide,
- the length of the last section of hair cut will guide you in cutting the rest of the hair,
- continue the procedure, section by section, working from the crown of the head towards the front.
- com b regularly to rem ove cut hair and check the result,
- to obtain a perfect transition between the zone on the top of the head and the sides (shown at A on Fig.
23), tilt the com b slightly and cut the hair that sticks out (Fig. 27).
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
• See the paragraph on "Outlining" in the "Crew cut" section
14. TECHNIQUE FORTRIMMING ANDTIDYING UP

a) Around the ears (Fig. 28 and 29).
Com b the hair into the desired style.
Place the upside-down clipper between the sideburns and the ear,
GB
m aking sure that the corner of the blade is on the hairline (use only the edge
of the clipper). Move the clipper slowly above, around and behind the ears.
b) The neckline (Fig. 30)
• For the neckline, hold the upside-down clipper lightly against the hair.
• Operate as shown on the drawing, with sm all, downward strokes.
c) The sideburns (Fig. 31).
Hold the clipper upside-down, with the cutting edge perpendicular to the head,
and work downwards. Use sm all strokes.
15. TECHNIQUE FOR A "SHORT BACK AND SIDES"
With this technique, you clip only the sides and neck, and keep the hair long on top.
•The cutting settings to use: 3 to 21 m m , in function of the desired length (Fig. 32).
1st STAGE:THE CUT

"Crew cut" section) up to the point A (Fig. 32), using the clipper fitted with the
adjustable com b
attachm ent (3 to 21 m m in function of the desired length).
• Above the point A (situated a few cm above the ears), use a barber's com b
to obtain a perfectly tidy transition. Hold the com b at an angle to the head
(Fig. 33) and cut any hair sticking out from the com b, using the clipper
without the adjustable com b attachm ent.
Use the barber's com b to guide the clipper (Fig. 34).
• Do not clip the hair on top of the head.
