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.
Whichever is the short side goes by your ear.
This is the answer. I usually take the attachment and comb my hair with it to make sure it lines up with what I want it to do BEFORE I attach it and start clipping.
