What does the "clipper over comb" technique involve?

The "clipper over comb" technique is a classic hair cutting method that employs the use of clippers in conjunction with a comb to achieve a specific hair length and texture. In this technique, while the hair is held up with a comb, the clippers are used to remove bulk or create a gradual fade. The comb acts as a guide to control the hair's length, allowing the barber to cut precisely where they desire. By lifting the hair with the comb, the barber can ensure that they are cutting evenly and can easily adjust the length by changing the angle or position of the comb.

This technique is especially effective for blending different lengths and creating seamless transitions in hairstyles, making it a valuable skill for barbers. The use of the comb to hold the hair in place while cutting with the clippers allows for greater control and precision in achieving the desired look.
