[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What number guard do boys use on the sides and back? Does anyone just do scissors or is the clipper standard for around the ears and back unless the hairstyle is past the ears?[/quote] Clippers at barbers. Always.[/quote] +1. Always clippers at a Barber. The blade-guard numbers supposedly map to 8ths of an inch, meaning a number 4 blade-guard is 4/8ths of an inch. For me, a “normal” hair cut is maybe a “number 6 all over” with “tapered in back” and “off the ears”. A military cut would be shorter, maybe a 3 or 4, with USMC hair cuts even shorter than that. If DC’s hair is really long right now, maybe instead try asking for a number 8 cut (8/8ths = 1”) to avoid too much surprise for DC. If still too long, then come back in a few weeks and specify a smaller number. Regardless of number, I would suggest asking also for “off the ears” and “tapered in back”. [/quote]
