When you cut your own hair with clippers which side do you use the left/right ear taper guards on?

Sean@lemmy.thesanewriter.com to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 31 points –

Is it counter intuitive when you look in the mirror so you would use the right taper guard on your left side and vice versa? Or does it go from your own perspective where left taper would go on left side? Hope this makes sense, I've been cutting my own hair for years and this has always confused me.

Each works for both sides, you just have to change from front-to-back to back-to-front.

A good couple passes each way and I like to taper from the ear to my forehead and over my neck too.

I started doing it with the pandemic and now I can't bring myself to pay a barber again.

Totally. A single haircut costs the same as a cordless clipper set…
