b) Around the ears
• Carefully comb the hair around the ear. Remove the comb attachment.
• Hold the clipper at an angle but use only one corner of the cutting unit, slowly shaping
the desired outline and following the direction of the cut (Fig. 20).
Advice:
• When you use the clipper without the comb attachment, keep your movements light and steady.
• When outlining, keep the clipper perpendicular to the skin to avoid injury (Fig. 21).
11. TECHNIQUE FOR AN AMERICAN-STYLE CUT
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
• See the paragraph on "Outlining" in the "Crew cut" section.
12. TECHNIQUE FOR CUTTING OVER A STYLING COMB OR FINGERS
(flat-top cut)
• To obtain perfectly flat hair on the top, use a barber's comb or your fingers (Fig. 25 and 26):
- remove the comb attachment,
- using a barber's comb (or your fingers), lift a small section of hair (the hair should be held vertical),
- move the comb or your fingers along the hair to the desired length,
- use the clipper to cut the hair above the comb or your fingers, using the latter as a guide,
- the length of the last section of hair cut will guide you in cutting the rest of the hair,
- continue the procedure, section by section, working from the crown of the head towards the front.
- comb regularly to remove cut hair and check the result,
- to obtain a perfect transition between the zone on the top of the head and the sides (shown at A on Fig.
23), tilt the comb slightly and cut the hair that sticks out (Fig. 27).
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
• See the paragraph on "Outlining" in the "Crew cut" section
13. TECHNIQUE FOR TRIMMING AND TIDYING UP
This is how to trim a haircut that is starting to get untidy, particularly on the neckline, the sideburns
and around the ears.
THE CUT
For this technique, use the clipper without the comb attachment.

Very very short sides and neck, and very short on top.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 22).
• Don't forget to adjust the comb's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE: THE CUT
• To cut the hair on the sides and neck, see the "Crew cut" section. To finish the
cut, use the 3 mm setting to shave the head.
• For the zone on top of the head
(see Fig. 22), use the 9 or 12 mm settings to keep a greater length. Cut the hair
from the front towards the back.
This cut gives a flat surface on the top of the head.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 23).
• Don't forget to adjust the comb's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE: THE CUT
• For this type of cut, the preliminary hair-drying is very important (Fig. 24).
• When drying your hair, work against the way the hair grows so that the hair
stands upright.
• Start cutting on the sides and the neck, using the cutting lengths indicated in
fig. 23. (For the cutting technique, see the "Crew cut" section.)
