Before cutting your hair, wash them with shampoo and conditioner. This is an important step as clean hair makes it easy to work with and can also help to remove tangles. On the other hand, styling products make it harder for the comb and clippers to move and gets easily tangled which eventually leads to distort for the whole length across the head.

Start with small and minor cuts:

Now is not the time to experiment some drastic new hair style. The more drastic cut you try to achieve, more are the chances of any mishap. So, I would suggest start with small sections, cutting the hair little by little and work your way to the top. Start by cutting the sides, choose your guard size on clippers. Keep the machine steady and slightly tilted forward and flush with your scalp to scoop as many hairs possible. Eventually cut the back of your head. On top, unlike professional barbers, you need to use scissors and your fingers to gauge the length and maintain the consistency. Although use a comb to pull up hair and cut in a straight line.
