14 - FOR A SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN-STYLE CUT
A very short cut on the sides and the nape, and very short on the top.
• Combs necessary for this cut : 3-6-9-12 mm according to
the required length (fig. 31).
• Do not forget to change combs as you progress through the hair.
1st STAGE : THE CUT
• To cut the hair on the sides and the nape, see the "Round Crew
cut" chapter. At the end, use 3 mm comb to obtain a shaven cut.
• For the top, at the locations indicated by the zone change lines
(see fig. 31), use comb 9 or 20 mm, in order to keep
the length longer. Cut the hair from front to back.
2nd STAGE : CONTOURS AND FINISH
• Consult the "Contours and finish" paragraph in the " Round Crew cut" section.
15 - FOR A SUCCESSFUL COMB OR FINGER CUT
(SQUARE CREW CUT)
This cut provides a flat surface on the top of the head.
• Combs necessary for this cut : 3, 20 mm according to the required length + fingers (fig. 32).
• Do not forget to change combs as you progress through
the hair.
1st STAGE : THE CUT
• To obtain a successful square crew cut, preliminary drying is
the most important factor (fig. 33).
• Dry the hair against the lie in order to raise the crew cut.
• Begin the cut on the sides and the nape, using the combs spe-
cified in fig. 32 (for the cut procedure, consult the chapter entit-
led "Round crew cut").
• To obtain a flat top, use the normal comb or, failing that, your
fingers (fig. 34 and 35).
- take off the removable comb from the hair trimmer,
- using the styling comb (or your fingers), raise a small strand of hair (the hair must be in
a vertical position in relation to the skull),
- move the comb or your fingers along the strand until you obtain the required length,
- use the hair trimmer to cut the hair sticking out of the comb or your fingers, using the latter as
a support,
- the height of the last strand cut is used as a guide for the subsequent strands,
- continue in this way, strand by strand, moving gradually from the back to the top of
the skull, and then to the front.
- comb the hair regularly to remove the cut hair and check the condition of the cut,
- to obtain a perfect transitional area (A on fig. 32), between the top and side hair, slightly
tilt the flat comb and cut the excess hair (fig. 36).
2nd STAGE : CONTOURS AND FINISH
• See the paragraph entitled "Contours and finish" in the "Round Crew cut" section.
