How do I use clippers?

Hello everyone.

My boyfriend has asked me to cut his hair with clippers. I`ve never done this before and do like floppy hair but he prefers it ultra short.

It`s about an inch long now - he`s been growing it for me since we met but is fed up with it now and wants me to use his clippers to do a grade 2 at the sides and grade 3 on top.

I feel kind of priveliged and I`m looking forward to it but don`t want to mess it up. Can anyone help?

Are there any websites that give instructions on this?

Thanking you hopefully.

How does she "finish" it if it`s grade 2 length? Surely that`s too short to use scissors on? What do you mean by finishing?

I`ve done a 3 and 4 blade on myself. I found that when you are doing the lower grade (back and sides) it helps blend the different grades better if you finish the upward stroke with a slight outward motion. This should give you a blend between the 2 grades. Determine before hand how far up you want to go with the lower grade. Of course some people like the distinct line between the 2 grades. In that case you would go to the point - stop - then later use the higher grade from that point on. Start small until you get the feel for it - it is pretty easy.
