NO PLEASE DO NOT GET A #1
just tell your barber that you want to "trim off all the loose hairs" and he should know what your talkin about

depends how high ur last cut was, if ur last cut wuz a #2 aka 1/4 then ask for a #2.5 which is either a 5/16 or a #2 with the fade blade pushed up all the way, if u got a 1.5 which is a 1.5 aka 3/16 or a #1 with the fade blade pushed up then just get a #2


and a 1/8 is a low ass cut, i got a 1/8 in january

^ but he just wants a trim
 
cosign what doctah said
 
he'll prob run the gaurds w/o the clippers though ya hair to see what will be a good gaurd.
 
or if you have gaurd, brush ya hair ATG and notice hom much hair is above the spot where the blade would be, then tell ya barber to use the gaurd you selected ya dig?
