Choose your guard size. Every hair clipper comes with a number of attachments that allow you to cut your hair to different lengths. Many people choose to cut the sides of their hair shorter than the top. The longest is a size 7 or 8, depending on the clipper, which leaves about an inch of hair on your head. Using a guard shorter than a size 4 will show your scalp, which leaves you vulnerable to sunburn.

A: Well, yes and no. The term Number 2 haircut refers to a clipper cut given using the #2 length guard on the clippers. This cuts the hair to a uniform 1/4-inch length.

Guard Lengths. While guard lengths may vary slightly between clipper brands, a length 1 guard will cut your hair to about 3 millimeters, or 1/8 of an inch. With each whole comb number, the length of your haircut will increase by 3 to 4 millimeters, depending on your clipper brand. A length 10 guard will cut your hair to between 30 and 32 millimeters, or about 1 1/4 inches. A clipper with no guard will remove your hair at the skin.

Some clippers use a series of different plastic guards over the cutting blades to adjust the length of hair, while others have different length attachable blades. These clipper attachments (either guards or blades) are used to provide a uniform length of hair to be left. Most Barbers use both adjustable attachments and standard attachments. Clippers made by Wahl use attachment numbers to indicate the length of hair that will be left.
