This will require regular upkeep to maintain, however, it’s the easiest style to achieve yourself.

Choose the guide comb based on the length you want to cut to. For example, the #1 Guide Comb will show ‘3mm’ on it, meaning when you cut your hair, you will be left with a length of 3mm on your head. These guides will also have a second number in ‘mm’ which indicates the length of hair it will leave on your head. These will be numbered #1, #2, #3 and so on, the lower the number, the shorter the hair it will leave. Your chosen clipper will usually come with guide combs. For all hair types, start by washing your hair. For example, having either long and straight or short and curly will determine where you start the haircut. How you need to cut your hair will vary depending on your hair length and texture. When it comes to cutting your own hair, you need to persevere as the more practice you have the better you will get! The following three styles are recommended if you’re just getting started with home haircutting and want something that’s easy to achieve.

You may find it easier to start by doing your own touch-ups on your hair and then ease into a full haircut as this will build up your confidence in using hair clippers.
#Clipper haircut pro#
We recommend trying the Wahl Waterproof Stainless Steel Grooming Kit and the Wahl Colour Pro Clipper.
#Clipper haircut skin#
Use your Wahl trimmer or clipper with taper lever in the ‘closed’ position where the blades are close together and you will be cutting closest to the skin as possible.Trimmers are best used for the sections where you need precision, such as the neck, ears, sideburns and beard. When grooming hair, it is best to use a clipper as it can do larger areas in a shorter amount of time, keeping your cutting consistent. If you have curlier hair, you can usually get away with just tidying up your neckline and sideburns between haircuts.

To tackle this, use a clipper with the same number attachment comb as your original haircut. Usually, this is around two weeks after your haircut. Straight hair tends to grow out on the sides, you may notice that the shape of your haircut starts to look round. You might just be considering a way to keep your hair tidy, how often you need to do this will vary depending on your hair type. From little touch-ups to full haircuts, our guide will take you through it step-by-step.

Taking on home hair cutting for the first time can be daunting.
