When it comes to choosing a haircut, it’s best to go for a style that suits your lifestyle and look. Whether you want a haircut that’s trendy, timeless, or versatile, finding the right tools for the job will make all the difference. From short on the sides and long on the top, to a smooth bald head or a buzz cut, achieving a stylish men’s haircut can be easy even in the comfort of your own home!

1. ”Short on the Sides, Long on the Top”
Always in fashion, this classic men’s cut explains itself. How long is this cut? Generally, up to two inches long on top with tapered sides. 

How to:

1. Use a hand-held mirror to see the back of your head
2. Clip on the #1/2 or #1 guide comb and hold the blade at 90 degrees to your hairline
3. Move the blade downwards to trim stray neck hairs
4. Change the guide comb to #2 and start higher, stroking down to taper
5. Tilt the trimmer to go around your ears
6. Contour sides by stroking the blade from the temple to the back of the head
7. Leave length on top or glide over with the longest cutting blade.
8. Clean, lubricate and sanitise your blade with Clipper Guard

Wahl Super Power CC Salon Series Clipper
This powerful clipper has a full metal housing and a gold adjustable taper to shift your cutting length from 0.8mm – 2.5mm for ease of blending. The stagger-tooth blade with two cutting paths is exceptional for fading.

Wahl Salon Series V7000 Hair Clipper
One of the closest cutting clippers at just 0.5mm – 2.9mm, the V7000 is smooth, quiet and boasts a slightly longer taper lever throw for control and the perfect blending action so you don’t end up with a ‘bulbous’ shape.

2. The Bald Look
Whether it’s a lifestyle choice or you are almost completely bald naturally and proud of it, sporting a smooth, shaved head is a masculine silhouette that is both simple and stylish. 

How to:

1. Wash hair and towel dry
2. Trim any longer hair down with a clipper or trimmer
3. Apply shaving cream or oil if you’re prone to irritation or have thicker hair
4. Shave with light, gentle, circular motions from the edges to the top
5. Rinse your head, towel off and apply a post-shave tonic
6. Rinse the blades, then lubricate and sanitise your blade with Shaver Guard

Wahl Lithium-ion Clip N Shave Hair Clipper
If you haven't completely committed to the bald look all of the time yet, commit to the Lithium-ion Clip N Shave. The unit has a foil shaver attachment to shave hair down to skin level, but it also has a hair clipper blade attachment. Whether using it to trim down the hair first or to test the bald waters, the Lithium-ion Clip N Shave allows you to experience the best of both worlds.

3. The Buzz Cut
This simple, sleek style for men is clipped all over. Choose your length, find the right clipper attachment, and go for it. The ‘buzz’ is easier to achieve than a fade, as it’s just one length. Perfect for those who like a low-fuss cut, or like to look uniform and tidy.

How to:

1. Wash hair and towel dry 
2. Trim longer hair with shearing scissors or a clipper with a longer guide comb
3. Put a guide comb of the length of your choice onto the clipper
4. In short, C-shaped motions, slowly glide the clipper upwards around the head
5. Once the full head has been clipped, finish off by gliding over your head with a trimmer. Start with a longer cutting position, you can always go back over!
6. Clean up your neck with the lowest blade setting, #1 or #1/2
7. Clean, lubricate and sanitise your blade with Clipper Guard
