You use an attachment comb by hooking it over the base of the blade on your grooming tool.
Attachment combs are designed to snap onto the blades of clippers or grooming tools to achieve different hair lengths. Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Identify the Correct Comb: Attachment combs come in various sizes, each corresponding to a specific hair length. Select the comb that will give the desired length.
-
Turn off the Clipper/Groomer: For safety, make sure your clipper or groomer is turned off before attaching the comb.
-
Align the Comb: Most combs have a small hook or clip mechanism on one end. Position the comb so that the hook aligns with the base of the clipper blade.
-
Attach the Comb: Gently push the comb onto the blade until it clicks or snaps into place. Make sure it is securely attached to prevent it from falling off during use.
-
Test the Attachment: Before beginning the grooming process, lightly run the clipper with the comb attached over a small, less visible area to ensure the comb stays in place and produces the desired length.
-
Groom in Smooth, Even Strokes: Hold the clipper at a consistent angle and move it smoothly in the direction of hair growth. Avoid pressing too hard, which can cause uneven cuts. Let the comb guide the clipper and maintain a consistent distance from the skin.
-
Clean the Comb Regularly: As you groom, hair will accumulate in the comb. Regularly remove this buildup to maintain optimal performance.
-
Removing the Comb: To remove the comb, gently push or pull it away from the blade, disengaging the clip mechanism.
