Aight, I've been havin the hang of cuttin' my own hair wit the clippers because it's supa easy,BUT, my only prob. is gettin' a hang wit the trimmers. Right now I basically use'em to shave. How do I perfect the line-ups? (Another thing is, how do barbers shave off a "layer" of your sideburns to get'em pointed and fresh, and not all "bushy". Do trimmers have gaurds?) My style wit the sideburns is havin them curve into the point. -------------  ,

So you trim the sideburns with the clipper; then work wit the trimmers? do you get the "crisp" look when u line urself up?

Its a hard job, but it takes alot of practice. To trim your sideburns just line them up, then use your regular clippers to trim them down.

when u say taper or fade ur edges, we talkin bout like bringin the edges down to a lower guard length right? Cuz I did that once while wolfin n it made my edges hella clean. Definetly should use trimmers for edges, clippers cant get tight enough. N I also use the gillette fusion straight razor side, with the 1 tight blade. That thing the best investment i made in a min, no more cheap razors i used to try n do edges wit. I like straight razors for edges ------------- http://myspace.com/christianh http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=waves1.jpg">

use a number 1..not da bare metal of da clipper use da smallest gaurd..it'll work nice i gauratee as long as u dun go too far onto ur head..dun trim 2 far juss around ur outline..da ting bout line ups is dat even is ya hair get messed up...if u line up is crisp ya hair gon look nice regardless.. -------------
