Conair Number Cut 20-Piece Haircut Kit

Attaching the Combs

• Attach combs by holding them teeth up, then snapping onto the bottom of the clipper blade.
• To remove comb attachments, place index finger and thumb as illustrated; then pull out and up.

To begin cutting hair:

• The hair should be combed in its natural direction.
• Using the largest attachment comb, trim sides from the bottom upwards. Hold clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the attachment comb pointing upward, yet flat against the head.
• Gradually lift the clipper upward and outward through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

Repeat

Repeat around sides and back of head. If you want hair to be even shorter:

• A) Apply more pressure to the head with the attachment comb that is in place. This takes a little practice, of course.

• B) Just switch to a shorter attachment comb.

For Longer on Top

For longer hair on top, use the barber comb and lift hair on the top of the head, cutting over the comb. Or, hold the hair between the 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.

Outlining

Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair into the desired style. Position the clipper between the sideburns and the ear, making 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 and, holding it against the skin at the length desired, move the clipper downward.
