9. TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL HAIRCUT
• Use the hair trimmer on clean, dry hair
• Dry the hair in the direction of the hairstyle you wish to obtain
• Position the person whose hair you are going to cut in such a way as to be able to see the top of
his/her head (Fig. 5)
Before starting a cut, examine the hollows and bumps on the head, which are often located at the
nape of the neck (if you place the trimmer directly against a bump, you will obtain a lighter area).
• At the beginning, only cut a small quantity of hair, until you are familiar with the length left by each
comb.
• Never stop the trimmer in mid-stroke.
• Start with the comb with the highest number (i.e. the one which leaves the most hair) before using
another comb.

10. FOR A SUCCESSFUL ROUND CREW CUT
BASIC METHOD
With this method, the cut follows the shape of the skull.
• Combs necessary for this cut: 3 mm, 9 mm, 18 mm (fig. 6).
• Do not forget to change the comb as you progress through the hair.
1st STAGE : THE CUT.
a) Nape.
• Brush the hair.
• Begin by cutting the hair at the nape upwards, using comb 18 mm.
• Hold the trimmer firmly against the hair, with the comb's teeth pointing slightly upwards (fig. 7).
• Slowly raise the hair trimmer towards the top and outside of the hair, cutting only a small amount of
hair at a time (fig. 8).
• Once the hair at the nape has been evenly cut using comb 18 mm, replace the removable comb in
order to obtain the required length and repeat the first 3 operations.
• Stop the cut at regular intervals, comb the hair and check the result.
