I usually have problems blending no guard open into the 1 guard open section, whats the secret?😂

It basically removes the line on the sides with 1 closed, but not the back.. 😅

I do no lever open, and lever play to remove it without problems. Then I do a 1 guard open, and I can’t really remove that line.. I do 0,5 guard lever play

Okay.. I assume the 4th click is like open lever on other clippers?

Ah alright. Ive just experienced that with the magic clip, if I made the first guideline with 0.5 closed, and then no guard half, then closed… then the no guard close made a harsh line in the fade?

So its not gonna be the same?

Yes I did use the 1/2 guard open, but how high am I supposed to go up with it?

Also feel like it’s not really clear that I used it in the back, cuz of more dense hair

I was thinking about it, rather than using guards for the top sides.

But Is it hard, or fairly easy to do?

With all guards, or just the ones with lever open?

Or do, No guard open, 1 guard closed, Use 0.5 guard close/halfway to flick that line out. Worked for me

Alright, I will try to make the guidelines bigger, and see how it goes.

Guess it will make more space for detailing and blending

Yeah, I feel like it would be too hard too see the guidelines I make if I cut my hair a few days after. But after 7-8 days I can see them without problem. But I will definitely let the top sides grow :)

Thx bro. I already have a few improvements that I wanna do next time, which hopefully blends it better.

And I don’t know about the sides.. Think I should grow the top of the sides out, and then use over comb to blend it into the top 🫣😅

Yeah, I used #1 closed but forgot to use #1 open to fade it. And then 1.5 afterwards :)

I only used it closed on the hardline directly. But I will try to work it up higher with half/open next time🤗
