If you are a beginner, start out using the small-toothed side first. Once you are comfortable using this side, then try the other side. Visit your local beauty supply store to purchase a razor comb and razors. Razors are usually sold separately. These are usually inexpensive, but higher quality razors will be more expensive.

The parietal ridge is the bony halo or ridge along the upper part of your head. The occipital bone is the protrusion at the base of your skull.

Make sure the razor is not at a 90 degree (perpendicular) or 180 degree (flat) angle relative to your hair.

Repeat steps two through four on the rest of the bottom section.

When you are razor cutting the middle section, try to avoid cutting the baby hairs around your temples. Once you are done cutting the middle section, don’t forget to isolate it with a ponytail holder so you can razor cut the top of your hair.

Make sure to use the comb to remove the loose hair as you cut.
