Tips for hair trim : One should ensure that the hair is dry before cutting as wet hair stretches. One should keep this in mind especially when cutting bangs/fringes, for if they are wet they’ll be far shorter once they are dry.

When trimming around the ears, its best to use clippers with a blade. If you set it on No.4 you can have half inch of hair left; and if you set it on No.2 you can have a quarter inch of hair left. You can go repeating this a number of times until the hair is well trimmed. When trimming long hair around the ears, it’s best to fold the ear down with the finger and then do the trimming.

If you need to thin out hair, it’s best to use thinning shears, which have matching sets of teeth with gaps between them as it cut it. This way some of the hairs are cut short through this process, thinning out the hair.
