  Using the upward rocking motion is sometimes the best way to blend different lengths of hair in different sections of the head to achieve a finished look. This technique is great for a lot of different haircut styles. To do this, carefully pull the clipper away from the scalp in fluid strokes as you cut upward to blend the hair from one length to the next.
