CUTTING TECHNIQUES AND
ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS
HAIR
• Use the trimmer on clean, dry
hair.
• To familiarise yourself with the
trimmer, start with a longer
cutting length and gradually
work through the shorter
lengths to the one you want. In
this way you’ll quickly nd the
cutting length that suits you
best.
• Always move the trimmer
against the direction of hair
growth.
• Begin at the nape. Place the
guide on the scalp and move
the trimmer toward the crown of
your head. Move your trimmer
slowly, pointing the teeth of the
guide slightly upward. Keep the
trimmer in contact with your
head at all times. (Fig. 3)
• For the crown of the head, move
from front to back, that is, from
your forehead to the crown of
your head.
• For the nishing touches, that is,
around the nape and sideburns,
use the trimmer without
a cutting guide. Turn your
trimmer over and move it from
top to bottom. (Fig. 4)
• If you want a length greater
than 30 mm, or if you are
experienced, you can create
‘comb’ or ‘nger’ cuts:
- Work without a cutting guide.
- Take up a small section of hair
with a comb or in your ngers.
- Move the comb or your ngers
along the section of hair to the
desired length.
- Cut your hair along the comb or
your ngers.
- Remove the cut hair using a
comb and check the evenness
of the cut regularly. (Fig. 5)
FACE
For the beard or moustache just
the way you want it…
Decide on the type of beard or
moustache that best suits your
face taking into account the size
of your face and natural growth
and thickness of your beard and/
or moustache. After deciding
on the form of the beard and/or
moustache, it is easy to maintain
its appearance by using the
trimmer as soon as you feel it is
necessary. For better results, we
recommend cutting the beard
when it is dry. This helps make the
cut precise and comfortable.
To determine the shape of the
beard
After having combed your beard
in the direction of its natural
growth, decide on the desired
shape by starting under the jaw.
Come back up each side towards
the ears. Then continue on your
cheeks towards the hair. Make
sure you always trim or style your
beard against the hair growth.
