"Hi I'm Amelia and I'm going to show you how to cut hair with clipper over comb technique. First, you take your comb and you figure out exactly what angle you want 'cause how you angle the comb is how much is going to come off, so if you angle it out towards you you're only going to take a little bit less hair if you bring it straight up you'll be taking a lot more hair, and of course if you angle it in, you're going to be taking quite a bit of hair. You don't need a guard on your comb on your clipper so you can take your guard off. Clipper over comb is mostly used to get those little stragglies where it's uneven. So you just take the comb, I like to angle it towards me most of the time because you can always take more hair off you can't put it back on. And just run it as straight as you can, steady hands, and just run it right over as close to the comb as you need to get it, the closer you get to the comb of course the shorter the hair. And that's how you use clipper over comb technique."
