Clipper comb guides for men's hair style grooming from VS Sassoon

Comb Guides

When using a hair clipper to cut your hair it's what you leave on the head that's important, not what you take off! So knowing what a comb grade length really means in terms of millimetres is very important when selecting the right grooming tool.

The comb grade lengths mentioned below will vary between each of the VS For Men hair clippers.. Once you know the length of hair you want, you can select the hair clipper that will give you the choice of length/s you want using the product comparator.
Comb guides are usually interchangeable attachment combs which provide you with one cutting length per comb guide. However, many of our latest hair clippers incorporate an innovative all-in-one fully automated design that maximises the number of precision cutting length settings, while reducing the number of separate attachment combs traditionally required by clippers, helping to reduce cupboard clutter & the possible loss of attachment combs.

Comb Guides versus Hair Cutting Lengths

3mm = #1
6mm = #2
9mm - 9.5mm = #3
12mm - 13mm = #4
15mm - 16mm = #5
18mm - 19mm = #6
21mm - 22mm = #7
24mm - 25mm = #8
27mm = #9

When you need ultra close cutting to trim beards into designer stubble, create cropped hair styles or trim and blend sideburn hair, you will need a shorter or precision comb guide that ranges from approximately 0.5 to 2.5mm.
