How to Do a Brush Cut Step-by-Step

• 1

  Dampen your hair with a spray bottle and brush it away from your face.

• 2

  Oil your Wahl clipper blades and attach the appropriate guide comb attachment for the desired length you want.

• 3

  Begin by cutting Section 1 (see infographic below) using a rocking motion to help blend each section together for a smooth and even haircut to the length of your liking. Be sure to cut the hair at the nape of the neck.

• 4

  Gradually move up in guard length through Sections 2 and 3 (see infographic below). Remember, the higher the guard number, the longer the cut. Continue cutting around your head.

• 5

  Now it’s time to move to the top of the head (Section 4, see infographic below). Use the clipper-over-finger technique to trim some length off the top. Use the hair you’ve cut as a guide to keep the length consistent. When Section 4 is done, if you notice any cut lines between sections, use the attachment guard you used on a lower section to blend the sections.

• 6

  To remove more bulk from behind the ears, use the inverted clipper technique around the ear for a clean line.

• 7

  Using your Wahl trimmer, touch up your sideburns and the back of your neck and style your hair using Wahl Hair Pomade.
