Kaθαρισμός

Creating different hairstyles has become very easy with Philishave's new line of hair clippers. Forget those expensive and time-consuming appointments at the barber's. Create your own hairstyle at home, whenever you want! In the directions for use you can read how to charge, use, clean and store your clipper. In this booklet we show you the basic clipping techniques and how to use them to obtain the haircut you like. You've never done this before? No problem! Read these instructions and you will be able to create a neat, fashionable hairstyle straightaway.

Before you start clipping

Before you start clipping, it is important to familiarise yourself with the Philishave hair clipper by reading the directions for use. To get the best results, stick to the following procedure during clipping.

Before you start clipping we recommend that you do the following.

1 First, find a comfortable place in front of a mirror where the person whose hair you are going to cut can sit down.
2 Make sure that the person's head is at the same level as your chest so that all parts of the head are clearly visible and within easy reach.
3 Comb the hair in the direction of growth. Now you are ready to start clipping.

Tip: to get the best results, only use the hair clipper on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly washed hair.

Basic clipping techniques

Start clipping

Always start clipping the hair at the nape at the longest setting to establish whether you have set the comb attachment to the correct length setting. Adjust the setting, if necessary. When you have used the hair clipper before, start clipping at the longest setting you have previously selected to create the same hairstyle. Use this length setting to clip the whole head.

2 Then use a shorter length setting to clip the areas near the temple and at the nape.
3 Finally, contour the hairline round the ears and at the nape.

Tip: regularly remove cut hair from the comb while clipping.

Clipping with comb attachment

The comb has been specially designed to always keep the cutting element at the same distance from the scalp. The flexible comb easily follows the contours of the head.

If you use the hair clipper with a comb attachment, you can obtain different hair lengths of up to 41 mm. The appliance comes with two comb attachments, offering 14 different hair length settings altogether (see table).

The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres on the arms of the comb attachment.

You can simply slide a comb attachment onto the appliance and choose the desired hair length setting.

Cutting length settings

Small Comb setting	hair length	Large Comb setting	hair length
1 3 mm	8 23 mm
2	6	mm	9
3 9 mm	10 29 mm
4	12	mm	11
5 15 mm		12 35 mm
6	8	mm	13
7	21	mm	14

Please note that with certain hair types the resulting hair length may deviate from the length indicated.

Clipping without comb attachment

You can obtain hair lengths of over 4 cm by using a styling comb or your fingers together with the hair clipper without comb attachment.

Comb a small section of hair upwards against the direction of growth.
2 Lift the hair with the comb or hold it between your fingers until only the length that needs to be cut sticks out.
3 Use the clipper without the comb attachment to cut the hair protruding from the comb or fingers.

The right cutting techniques

Always move the hair clipper AGAINST the direction of hair growth, otherwise it will not cut the hair properly.
- Make sure the comb attachment is always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
- Make slow and smooth movements and carefully follow the contours of the head.
Comb the hair frequently to remove cut hair.
- When clipping the crown, pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even cutting result.
- Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long and thin hair, use a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.

Graduation

The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut hair evenly at the same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.

First clip all the hair at the longest setting.
2 Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.

3 You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the head has the desired length and a smooth transition between the long hair on the top and the shorter hair on the back and sides of the head has been achieved.

Precise contouring without comb attachment

To contour the hairline round the ears and at the nape, remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper.

Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair it touches.

Contouring the hairline round the ears

I First comb the hair ends over the ear.
2f necessary, bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
3 Hold the clipper without comb attachment with the cutter pointing downwards.
4 Place one edge of the cutter onto the skin and then slowly and carefully shape the desired outline.

Always keep the teeth of the clipper at a safe distance from the ears. Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends.

Trimming the sideburns

5 Turn the clipper and hold it with the cutter pointing downwards.
6 Cut only the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear.

Contouring the nape hairline

7 Use the clipper without the comb attachment and hold it with the cutter pointing downwards.
8 Make slow and steady downward strokes.
9 Do not place the clipper too high up on the back of the head. Follow the natural hairline.
10 Do not try to comb the hair downwards with the clipper, as the appliance will remove all the hair it touches.

With its 14 different hair length settings and a styling comb the possibilities are nearly endless. Of course, the results depend on the type of hair, your own personal taste and creativity.
