I haven't read much into this site, but I didn't readily see a guide or a tool describing how to cut long hair at a fixed length with ease?

I have a Norelco ProCut hair trimmer which is easy for cutting short hair (less then 2 inches) with the attachment comb, but now that my hair on the top of my head has grown beyond 4 inches in length, I no longer can use the attachment comb. Norelco as far as I know doesn't sell attachment combs for my length of hair.

Using scissors for cutting fixed length hair isn't easy for me because there is nothing guiding the scissors to cut at fixed length (which is why the attachment comb was so easy) without being inexact trying to measure length with my hands.

If anyone knows of a easy way to add more length to my attachment comb of my hair trimmer I'd be delighted to know, or if there is a easy trick behind cutting long hair at fixed lengths without the need for such attachments.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the forum.

What is your aim? Are you hoping to have an all-over layered cut (all layers the same length)? Or are you trying to get to "all one length" (which is really a blunt cut where the ends are all at the same point/length?

I've heard of certain self-cutting systems that have longer attachments but I haven't heard otherwise complimentary comments on them, and I've never used them so I certainly cannot make a recommendatiion. It depends on what you want (see first paragraph). Maybe find a stylist who can help you get where you want?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
