Parenting Pointers: How-To Clipper Cut Hair

You’ve heard the famous saying, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” This may be why in the wake of sweeping changes like social distancing and the shuttering of businesses, Americans are getting proactive.

Searches on ‘How-To’ content is surging, whether it’s for recipes, cleaning tips… or home haircutting. Guys everywhere (including celebrities like P!NK’s husband Carey Hart) are picking up clippers.

Why are guys looking to cut their own hair?

• They have no other choice. Sadly, visiting their barber is no longer an option.
• Video conferencing. Working from home doesn’t mean no one will see you.
• It’s empowering. Uncertainty is a scary thing, and while it may seem small, the skill of cutting your own hair can offer a sense of control.

What do guys need to do before they cut their hair?

• Get the gear. The Wahl Elite Pro Clipper has self-sharpening blades and a powerful motor with the torque and precision to avoid mishaps.
• Choose a style. Increase the chances of success by picking a haircut that flatters your face shape.
• Be patient. The single biggest mistake you can make is rushing into it. Seek out instructional videos and experts tips — get a game plan, then start clipping.
