U may just want to go to a barber. Cutting your own hair is risky |

The only tip I'll give you is to take the clippers back and get a refund. Then go to a professional barber. It's better to be safe than sorry.

don't listen to them smh..
i give myself shape ups.
iunno about cowlicks..i get those too on tha edge of my hairs, but my durag helps so i don't worry about it..
anyway.
just take it slow, be aware of where your 'cutting blade' is..
your always gonna have to aim the clippers a little higher to where the blade actually cuts.
just keep doing it.
you'll get better.
don't worry or stress about it.

idk how to cut but i've been linin myself up for a while now.
All i can suggest is to keep your hands steady. Are you gonna be using a straight razor? ------------- http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/12/8/f_sigma008m_7947f3e.jpg&srv=img37">
