How to Touch Up Your Neckline

Untrimmed hair on the back of the neck between haircuts can draw lots of looks - the type of looks no one wants. There’s no reason to put yourself in this position. All it takes is a Wahl trimmer or clipper and a spare minute. Get the type of look you deserve.

How to Trim the Neckline Step-by-Step

  • 1

    Use your Wahl trimmer or clipper with taper levels in the closest position.

  • 2

    Using the trimmer or the clipper in the normal, upright position, run it in an upward direction on the back of the neck to eliminate the growth. Use a mirror or your touch to make sure no patches have been left behind.

Tips for Caring for Your Clippers

Oiling Your Hair Clipper Blade

Someone oiling the blade on their Wahl hair clipper.

Oiling the blades reduces friction and keep the clippers from pulling and snagging. A drop of oil at the corners of the blades top, as well as the foot of the blade is all it takes.

Move the Oil Around to Lubricate the Blade

Someone tipping their Wahl hair clipper so the oil can move throughout it.

Turn the clipper on to help work the oil in.
