Using the Attachments

• Slide Attachments: These attachments allow you to select various lengths by sliding them. Use them for overall hair cutting to achieve desired lengths (e.g., 20-40mm, 50-70mm).
• Cutting Height Attachments: Use these for specific short lengths like buzz cuts or to trim the ends. Available lengths include 3/6mm, 9/12mm, and 15/18mm.
• Ear & Natural Attachment: This 2-in-1 attachment is designed for easily trimming around the ears and creating a natural, blended finish. It helps achieve a clean line without cutting too much at once.
• Thinning Attachment: Ideal for adjusting hair volume, creating layers, or adding lightness to the hair ends and outline for a neat, natural look.
