Howto & Style
Introduction
Welcome to the ultimate guide on cutting Grandpa's hair! In just four minutes, you'll learn how to transform his hair from this messy look into something sharp and stylish. Let's dive right in!
Step 1: Set Up Your Clippers
Start by selecting your clippers and setting them to the long or open position. Remember that the short or closed position is for a shorter cut, but for this haircut, you want to stick with the longer, open position throughout the entire process.
Step 2: Use the Number 4 Guard
Grab the number 4 guard, which corresponds to 13 millimeters. Your primary goal in this step is to blend the sides of Grandpa’s hair with the longest hair on top. As you work, brush the hair down occasionally to assess your progress and see where touch-ups might be needed. Remember to cut against the natural direction of hair growth for the best results.
Continue this all around the head until you're satisfied with the blending.
Step 3: Move to the Number 3 Guard
Next, switch to the number 3 clip, which reads 10 millimeters, and keep it in the open position. This time, you'll cut just under where you finished with the number 4 guard. Aim to go about halfway up the sides, ensuring everything looks seamless. Remember to flick out at the ends to help blend the two lengths together.
As before, keep brushing the hair to view your progress.
Step 4: Final Touch-Up with Number 2 Guard
Now it's time for the number 2 guard, which corresponds to 6 millimeters. This step focuses on polishing the cut, covering the sideburns and the bottom of the neck. Remaining in the open position, this guard will clean up the area without making drastic changes.
Step 5: Cutting the Hair on Top
Now onto the hair on top. Using your fingers, run them through Grandpa’s hair to identify any areas that are sticking out or longer than the others. You only want to trim about a centimeter or even less, ensuring that the lengths are uniform.
Step 6: Create Defined Lines
To give the haircut a polished finish, take your trimmers and make a straight line along one side of Grandpa’s neck. This step sets the stage for a neat appearance on the other side as well. Making the two sides even will help you judge where to place the horizontal line at the back.
Step 7: Neaten Around the Ears and Sideburns
The final touch is to use your trimmers around the ears and the sideburns. The trimmer blades have a 'T' shape that allows you to maneuver easily around the curves of Grandpa's ears, helping you target specific hairs with precision. Make sure not to go too high on the sideburns; just enough to maintain a clean, straight line.
