Wahl makes home haircutting easy as 1 -2 - 3.
This Wahl Clipper comes equipped with a “Taper Lever” which can be used in conjunction with or without a guide comb. Use of the taper lever allows you to effect minute but precise adjustments to your desired length of cut.
This is especially helpful to achieve a tapered look for necklines, fades or blending between sections.
Clip’N Trim is the only clipper with a built-in detail trimmer for use on sideburns, necklines, and around the ears. Detail trimmer blades are narrower and cut twice as close as standard clipper blades.
Converting to the Detail Trimmer is as Easy as 1-2-3
1 - Cover flips up…
2 - Guided by a sturdy hinge around the front of the blade…
3 - Where it conveniently snaps into place, ready for detail work.
