Place a towel around the neck and  
shoulders of the person whose hair  
you are trimming. Make sure the  
person is seated so that the head  
is roughly at your eye level. Before  
trimming, comb the hair so that it  
falls naturally and you can see the  
direction in which it grows.  
Always cut against the natural  
direction of the hair.

As you cut, take a break at  
regular intervals. You can  
always make a correction, but  
not once the hair has been cut.

Only cut a small amount the first  
time you use it. This is the only  
way to get used to the variable  
grades.
