Week 36, Clipper vocabulary word of the week - L

This week we are up to the letter L in the list of clipper cutting vocabulary.
Layer Cutting - Haircutting technique in which a progression of length is created, increasing from the interior of the head to the perimeter. This creates the effect of the hair lying in layers. Think Farrah Fawcet, classic long layered hair.

Not cutting my onw hair

Not cutting my own hair

A while back I was bloging my experiences and adventures as I embarked on the project of cutting my own hair. Now, a new idea, Now I am NOT cutting my own hair. I am to blog my adventures in NOT cutting y own hair… and no one else is either. I am to try to grow it out a bit… something I have never done successfully in the past. Let’s see how far I get. Let’s see how it might look. I will have some pics shot along the way. First pic tomorrow. My wife and others will be engaged to clean up my neckline along the way, but that is it. Oh yeah, and I will also taper the front corners at the sideburns a little bit too, hey, got to look human at the very least.

clipper Tip #35

This is Andis / Ivan Zoot clipper tip number 35. I love this one. This is both a trimmer tip as well as an efficiency tip. I just spoke about this in a class last week. This one can make a big difference in your clipper cutting timing.

Tip 35 -Trim Early - Do not wait until the last stages of the haircut to trim and detail the hairline. By trimming early you get a better look at how the finished cut is shaping up.
