Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Buy clippers, you’ll need a trimming machine. I would recommend that you buy an Andis machine to stay on the safe said.

  2. Step 2

    You have to decide how long you want your hair level.

  3. Step 3

    Trial and error- When you first use the trimmer you’ll have an idea how close or far the guards are.

  4. Step 4

    You will also have to learn how to use the adjuster on the clipper.

  5. Step 5

    First you plug the machines in the outlets. Now you take your Andis trimmer machine and adjust it to the level that you want it to be at.

  6. Step 6

    If you want very close bald cut you’ll have to use the clipper with no guard on it and you’ll have to close the adjuster all the way. And as you open the adjuster on the clipper more you will be taking off less hair. If you want your hair to be about a quarter of inch or less you’ll have to put on the lowest guard on your Andis clipper.

  7. Step 7

    The Andis clipper machine comes with guards make sure to put on a guard if you don’t want a close cut. There are different levels that you can chose from.

  8. Step 8

    Then you’ll start from the front of you head and move to the middle of you head until all of the hair is gone. Make sure to go over the spots a couple time until its completely even.

  9. Step 9

    When it comes to cutting the back of you head you’ll have to get a mirror that about 4 by 6 inches. Put the mirror in one hand and move the mirror to the back of your head. For this method you have to make sure that your standing in front of a mirror.

  10. Step 10

    Next once the mirror is to the back of your head. Turn you body in the opposite direction of the side the mirror is placed. Keep turning until you see the back of your head.
    11. Once you see the back of you head you’ll want to hold the machine in the free hand and start trimming against the grain.
