Clippers and Trimmers

Where can I get a 2 inch guide comb for a hair clipper?

Aug 16, 2007 by humebudde | Posted in Hair

I need to find a hair clipper that will cut my hair at 2 inches, and being that I have a hair clipper that uses those plastic guide combs I figured I'd look for a 2 inch one, but to no avail. Does anyone know where I could get one that size? Or is there some alternative clipper / trimmer/ buzzer that will cut my hair at 2 inches? Thanks in advance for any input.
I've tried Sally's beauty supply stores and they don't carry 2 inch guide combs. When I talked to the lady that worked there she said the she had never heard or seen 2 inch guide combs before. Everyone I have talked to has never seen or heard of em before. But I just can't see how no one has manufactured this before, at the very least as a custom or special order item. If anyone knows where I can get a 2 inch guide comb or a clipper / buzzer / trimmer of some sort that will cut my hair at 2 inches, I'd very much appreciate it if you would point in me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Which clipper guide should I use?

My son wants me 2 cut his hair with a #1 all around the sides but he wants it longer on top kind of like a caesar cut. What should I use for the top and how do I do it?

I would spend $8-$12 at the cheap haircuts place in your mall before I'd risk it myself at home. And I'm all in favor of doing it at home, but the transition from short sides to blending into the top is a nightmare. I vote for the cheap barber shop or salon cut. It'll save your nerves and your sons hair, unless he wants that #1 all over.

Is there a hair clipper guide below a #1

How do you use the guide combs to cut hair with clippers?

I bought clippers with all the attachments on ebay without instructions. I don't want to shave my head, how do you use the guide combs to cut hair with clippers?
Thank you for your answer. I did figure out what the guides were for, but I didn't understand how to use them. Do you clip up or down against head? Flat against head as if you were shaving head?

Grab one of the attachments. Hold it up and look at the thickness of the plastic. That's how much hair will be left. The thinnest attachment is a #1 That will leave the hair with a shadow length. Just before bald. The fattest attachment should be a #8 or #6 that will leave the hair about an inch or an inch and a half long. These attachments are for mens cuts only.

Just start with the biggest attachment first. You can always cut more off. Start with the #8, work your way down to the thinner attachment.
