The first thing a barber asks when you sit in his chair is, "How do you want it cut?" So you should know how hair clippers are numbered. Each number on a clipper guard refers to the length to which it cuts the hair.
No. 1
The No. 1 guard cuts hair to a length of one-eighth of an inch from the scalp.
No. 2
The No. 2 guard leaves hair at one-fourth of an inch in length.
No. 3
The No. 3 clipper attachment cuts hair to three-eighths of an inch.
No. 4
The No. 4 guard leaves hair at half an inch from the head.
Nos. 5 and 6
These guards are used for special tapering procedures on the hair.
Nos. 7 and 8
The No. 7 attachment cuts hair to three-fourths of an inch, and the No. 8 guard cuts it to one inch.
