Slightly longer than Number 1 haircut, the Number 2 haircut has got enough hair left on your scalp such that there is no scalp seen.
With a considerable bit of hair left on your scalp you can even style it into some really popular haircuts like the buzz cut and crew cut.

A lot of the recommended clippers are sold out in Canada. Do you think this is a good one for home haircuts? Also, the above Philips clippers come with only 1 guard comb but there are 13 in-built length settings on the clippers 0.
Magic Clip which have individual guard combs for each length? Also somewhat related, how are Philips brand clippers in general? Glad you enjoyed the post. Phillips is a great brand with a lot of quality clippers and trimmers on its product catalog. In fact, the correct word to use is unique or out-of-the-norm.
Well, for starters, its design is not something you see every day. All these features make it easy to use and handle ; hence, giving it all the qualities of a good home hair clipper. About the guide combs, I feel like the 13 lock-in length settings are more than enough; unless you like cutting your hair longer than 23mm.
So, yes. This is a problem because home haircutting works well when you have flexibility and freedom. So, if it comes with a short cord, you may be inconvenienced. But still, that depends on you and your skill level as a home barber. As always, thank you for visiting WiseBarber.

Would I just place a 6 guard onto a closed lever or use a lower number blade with an open lever? Great to hear from you. To answer your question, the 6 guard comb fitted onto a closed-blades clipper should give you a 19mm haircut.
Therefore, keep your taper lever closed when you want to cut the exact size of your guide comb. Thank you and have an awesome weekend. Great question! See, I always believe that the quality of a haircut is more important than its length. Anybody can tell whether your haircut looks good or not; with ease.

It will be very helpful to understand the hair clipper guard sizes. Great post to share!! Is there any way I can determine what length my Vietnamese-American barbershop usually cuts my hair? Perhaps I am asking the impossible. Would a series of photographs help? Thank you for visiting WiseBarber. Anyway, your question is a bit tricky. But here is what I suggest you do:. Ask your barber what size he uses. This is the simplest and fastest way to determine your usual hair length; plus, it will get you more accurate results.
Use a ruler to measure your hair length. Just get a small ruler, pinch a few strands of hair, gently pull them up till they are fully straightened out and hold, place the ruler in line with the strands you are holding upright , and note the measurement of the hair from the base your scalp to the top of your hair strands.
Repeat this process on several different parts of your head and get the average of all measurements you collect to get a rough estimate of how long your hair is. But this will only apply if you have an evenly sized haircut; for a fade or taper, you can only use this method to measure the length of your top hair.
Also, this may not be an ideal method for any haircut below an inch in length because it will be really hard to do this correctly. For shorter hair lengths, try this next step.
Make approximations. All you need are pictures of haircuts with different and known haircut sizes. Take each picture and compare it to your haircut to see which one looks just like yours in terms of size. Note that this is probably the most unreliable method and may have tons of inaccuracies.
I hope you find a method that works best for you. Thank you. At my work we use wahl and oster clipper brands. I have a wahl but want to try the oster.
My oster 76 came with the blade. If someone comes in and wants a 2, what guard would I put on my blade? I just heard the length is different between the wahl and Oster. However, there is a way around this. You can purchase and use a 2 Oster Blade together with a 2 Oster Universal guard to achieve a 4 haircut.
The difference between the Classic 76 and a Wahl clipper is that the latter comes with an adjustable taper lever.
Anyway, let me know if you need further assistance. I was today years old when I realize the use of all these settings provided in a trimmer.
