In the simplest way possible so by the end of this post, you will know all the basic techniques that can be applied to practically every haircut feel free to leave your comments or questions below.

For this haircut, you will need a pair of sharp scissors to comb a sprayer bottle, and of course a pair of clippers with safety guards.

If you’re cutting hair for the first time I would recommend starting off with a number four guard today for this example haircut I’m going to use a number three guard start with the sides and back don’t forget to keep the hair dry as wet hair is nearly impossible to cut properly with clippers start from the nape of the neck and work your way up to the occipital bone or the line where the head begins.

To curve use a scooping motion to pull the clippers away don’t go too high as we need to leave room for blending

keep the consistent technique all the way around the head and when you reach the sides try to keep it even about the temple area always go against the natural direction of the hair as this will produce a nice clean precise cut.

Do exactly the same on the other side make sure to use scooping motions as this will guarantee a smoother

transition with the upper portion and will be easier to blend in afterward the next step is to clean up along the edges you can take the guard attachment is off now be careful and work slowly as bear clippers without the safety guard

can be very sharp don’t cut too much into natural hairline just try to trim only the edges otherwise, you will end up with white lines.

Take your time it’s always better to do this step nice and slowly just make sure when cutting around the ears to pull it down to get a more accurate cut don’t forget to clean up any stray hairs on the neck below the hairline when cutting across the nape of the neck be sure to stand directly behind the person, it’s much easier to make nice straight horizontal lines.

you can even use a comb as a guide for straight edge remember to check both sides to make sure they are even

next blend the top into the sides there are different ways to do this but today i will show the clipper over comb technique start with your comb slightly below the blend line pointing the comb directly upwards the

hair protruding from the comb will act as a guide for the desired length comb upwards till the shorter clipped hair disappears.

Behind the comb then tilt the comb away from the head hold your comb still and cut the excess longer hair if possible use a bigger comb for this technique as it will make smoother blending repeat this process gradually trimming down the longer top hair till it blends in with a shorter clipped hair be careful and cut a little bit less than needed instead.

Repeat the process to acquire the desired length if you prefer you can use scissors for blending.

Once the blending is finished you can move on to the top section I’m going to use scissors for the top section so make sure to wet the hair as that will make it much easier to cut first you need to cut a guideline it’s an

an imaginary line from the forehead to the crown the center of the head the length you create here will determine the way you approach the rest of the haircut cut the hair to the length you want between your index and middle fingers following the natural head shape and moving towards crown area leaving the hair a little bit longer

around the crown.
