10. TECHNIQUE FOR A CREW CUT
BASIC TECHNIQUE
With this technique, the cut follows the shape of the head.
• Adjust the cutting setting in function of the desired hair length (Fig. 8).
• Don't forget to adjust the comb's setting at the different stages of the cut.
1st STAGE: THE CUT
a) The neck.
• Comb the hair.
• Start by clipping the hair on the neck from the base up,
using the 25 mm setting.
• Hold the clipper firmly against the hair, with the teeth of the comb pointed slightly upwards (Fig. 14).
• Slowly move the clipper up and away from the hair, cutting only a small amount of hair at a time.
• When the hair on the neck is evenly cut to 25 mm, change the setting to the desired length and
repeat the first 3 steps (Fig. 15).
• Stop clipping at regular intervals, comb the hair and check the result obtained..
b) Sides and top
• Repeat the procedure to clip the sides.
• Change the comb settings as you clip different zones (see Fig. 8).
• For the top, use the same technique, working from the forehead to the crown of the head and
moving against the direction of hair growth (Fig. 16). Then, even up the top and sides.
2nd STAGE: OUTLINING
You can use the clippers either with the beard and trimming comb or with no attachment, according to
the required hair length
a) The neck and the sideburns.
• Comb the hair.
• Remove the comb attachment.
• Trim around the hairline, holding the clipper upside-down and perpendicular to the head, and
moving downwards. Use short strokes (Fig. 12 and 13).
• Repeat the procedure for the sideburns (Fig. 14).
b) Around the ears
• Carefully comb the hair around the ear. Remove the comb attachment.
• Hold the clipper at an angle but use only one corner of the cutting unit, slowly shaping
the desired outline and following the direction of the cut (Fig. 15).
Advice:
• When you use the clipper without the comb attachment, keep your movements light and steady.
• When outlining, keep the clipper perpendicular to the skin to avoid injury (Fig. 21).
