Hey im just looking for a little help when it comes to outlining yourself. I just got an andis t outliner and i figured ill learn to do my own hair as the universities i am applying to seem to have no barbershops for black ppl (dont ask). Anyways can anyone just post some tips under here so that i dont screw myself over too much on the first try? Especially with the curved parts on the side of your head, and the back...how do you do it without messing up? Any tricks?

Thanks in advance,
iWave

use a big mirror that u can see urself in nice
u know
the mirror in ur bathroom
then a hand held mirror
take your time doing things
dont rush it or ull mess it up and itll look ugly
clean ur clippers
oil ur clippers
cause if u dont take care of em theyll die out on ya
just be patient and do every detail u want to ur head, just all u can do is be careful ur first time, and keep practicing
learn to use both hands though
cause ull need that alot
and keep a steady hand
its easier than u think

I dunno bout the chalk thing exactly, but one tip I use is when my hair starts getting longer is I'll go like 2.5 atg, then like on the edges ill bring it down 1.5wtg or so to keep them low.  It looks odd when ur hair is long at the edges... it makes the edgeup and edges all over look cleaner.
