How to Trim Your Head
To trim your head, you will need the following:
- Clippers
- Scissors
- Comb
- Mirror
- Hair cape or towel
- Clipper oil
- Brush
Once you have these tools, follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Start by washing your hair and letting it dry completely. Comb your hair to remove any tangles or knots. Put on the hair cape or towel to protect your clothes from hair clippings.
Step 2: Choose the Right Clipper Guard
Choose the right clipper guard depending on how short you want your hair to be. Start with a longer guard and work your way down if you want to go shorter. Make sure the guard is securely attached to the clippers.
Step 3: Start Trimming
Start trimming your hair from the back of your head, moving the clippers upward against the direction of hair growth. Use the comb to lift the hair and make sure you trim evenly. Move to the sides and front of your head, always going against the direction of hair growth. Use the scissors to trim any longer hairs that the clippers missed.
Step 4: Clean the Clippers
After you’re done trimming, clean the clippers with a brush and clipper oil. This will prolong the life of your clippers.
Step 5: Clean Up
Remove the hair cape or towel and shake off any hair clippings. Take a shower to wash off any remaining hair and to freshen up.
