Step 3

Use the 0.5 grade of the Wahl Cordless Senior to erase the bottom line, opening and closing the

Step 4

Use the taper arm of the Wahl Cordless Detailer to blend away between the 0 and 0.5, switching between open and close.

Step 5

Finish the edges of the haircut with the Wahl Finale using paintbrush motions, ensuring a smooth blend. If lines persist to show, try using the finale with the grain to get a softer finish over those hard to blend areas.
