One can use a small mirror in front of the main mirror to see what he is doing exactly. Now we know that most guys nowadays have their hair faded. Therefore when you’re done with the first number and your next part shall be faded, you shall never move to the next solid number. You must have the setting to point five. (If the first adjustment to shave your hair was a solid 1, the Next adjustment to blend the fade must be 1.5, and then continue with the number 2.) Usually, this is done on the nape area till approximately the crown and the sides. Nevertheless, the top area is usually left long and done with scissors.
Top Area
