15 - FOR A SUCCESSFUL COMB OR FINGER CUT (SQUARE CREW CUT) 
This cut provides a flat surface on the top of the head.
•Combs necessary for this cut : 3, 20 mm according to the required length + fingers (fig. 32).
•Do not forget to change combs as you progress through the hair.
1st STAGE : THE CUT
•To obtain a successful square crew cut, preliminary drying is the most important factor (fig. 33).
•Dry the hair against the lie in order to raise the crew cut.
•Begin the cut on the sides and the nape, using the combs spe- cified in fig. 32 (for the cut procedure, consult the chapter entit- led "Round crew cut").
•To obtain a flat top, use the normal comb or, failing that, your fingers (fig. 34 and 35).
- take off the removable comb from the hair trimmer,
-using the styling comb (or your fingers), raise a small strand of hair (the hair must be in
a vertical position in relation to the skull),
-move the comb or your fingers along the strand until you obtain the required length,
-use the hair trimmer to cut the hair sticking out of the comb or your fingers, using the latter as a support,
-the height of the last strand cut is used as a guide for the subsequent strands,
-continue in this way, strand by strand, moving gradually from the back to the top of
the skull, and then to the front.
-comb the hair regularly to remove the cut hair and check the condition of the cut,
-to obtain a perfect transitional area (A on fig. 32), between the top and side hair, slightly tilt the flat comb and cut the excess hair (fig. 36).
2nd STAGE : CONTOURS AND FINISH
• See the paragraph entitled "Contours and finish" in the "Round Crew cut" section.
