desired length.

towards the back of your head and move the clipper towards your
crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and the

the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you
want to take shorter.

pointing upwards and comb guide at against the area above the ear,
again moving the clipper upwards and outwards.

detach the comb guides.

clipper downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth nish.
