"Hi, I'm Casey I'm with Elements University. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment I'm going to show a tip on how to make going around the ear with your neck trimmer a little bit easier for you. So when cutting men's hair I'm sure you heard of giving them white walls or actually taking the hair up around the ear line just a little bit to high, so a tip that I have is when you're using your neck trimmers you want to go ahead and you want to again pull the ear down you want to sightly angle your clippers. You don't want them to hang out like this because obviously as you can see with the hair if I have it right here look at how much hair I'm going to end up be taking right there. All I'm going to need to do is slightly angle it out as I'm coming around and what's that's going to do is the clippers is going to kick the rest of this hair out and it's just going to be the perfect amount that you need to take off when trimming around the ears. So I'm going to slightly angle my clippers as you can see it's just bumping the hair up as just so ever slightly all that I need I'm going to do the same thing coming in this way. At that point I have it taken it too high and I haven't given him white walls. Stay tune for our next segment which I'm going to show you how to taper in the side burns and how to get them even."
