HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1 With the Andis Excel Ultra detachable blade clipper and #2 blade, begin on the left side of the head and create a hard line using C-strokes toward the back. Continue cutting vertical sections using the C-stroke technique, working around the head to the parietal ridge.
• 

  
  2 Switch to a #1½ blade. Using C-strokes, start at the back, and cut vertical sections up to approximately an inch below the #2 section. Fade the sideburns into the rest of the haircut with a #1 blade.
• 

  
  3 Working from the crown to the front, create horizontal sections and lift to 90 degrees. Cut clipper-over-finger, and widen the top section, ensuring that the area is overdirected to the left side to maintain the weight line for the comb-over effect.
• 

  
  4 Cross check, then clean up the outline and create the desired shape with the Andis GTX T-Outliner.
• 

  
  5 Locate the natural part and use the GTX T-Outliner to carve a hard part. Begin by positioning the trimmer head up, and cut in the rough shape. Finally, point the trimmer head down to fine-tune the part.
