Description
A number 4 haircut refers to the length of the hair that is left on the head after it has been cut with a clipper guard that corresponds to the number 4. This means that the hair will be cut to a length of 1/2 inch or 12.7 mm. It is a popular choice for men who want a shorter hairstyle but do not want to go too short.
How to
To achieve a number 4 haircut, you will need to use clippers with a guard that corresponds to the number 4. It is important to make sure that the blades of the clippers are clean and sharp to avoid any snags or uneven cutting.
Start by cutting the sides and back of the head with the clippers, moving the clippers in an upward motion from the bottom of the hairline to the top. Use a comb to guide the clippers and ensure an even cut.
Once the sides and back are done, move to the top of the head. Use the clippers to cut the hair in the direction that it grows, starting at the front and moving towards the back. Again, use a comb to guide the clippers and ensure an even cut.
