### How to Use the ANDIS BG Series Premium Metal Clip Comb #1 (1/8″)
Utilizing the **ANDIS BG Series Premium Metal Clip Comb #1** effectively ensures optimal results and extends the life of both your comb and clipper. Follow these professional steps for superior performance:
1. **Preparation:** Always ensure both your Andis BG Series clipper blades and the metal clip comb are clean and free from hair, debris, or old lubricants. A clean surface allows for the smoothest glide and prevents inconsistencies.
2. **Attachment:** With the clipper turned off, carefully align the metal comb with the clipper blade. Gently but firmly slide the comb onto the blade until it securely clicks into place. Ensure it is fully seated and does not wobble. Never force the attachment.
3. **Sectioning and Technique:**
* **Hair Preparation:** Begin with clean, dry hair. If the hair is excessively long, consider reducing bulk with a larger guard or clipper-over-comb technique first.
* **Angle of Approach:** Hold the clipper with the comb attached at the desired angle against the client’s head. For the **1/8-inch (3mm)** length, a shallow to medium angle is typically used, especially for blending and fading.
* **Smooth Strokes:** Apply light, even pressure and use smooth, deliberate strokes, moving the clipper upwards and outwards against the direction of hair growth. Avoid jabbing or quick, jerky movements.
* **Overlap:** Overlap each pass slightly to ensure all hair is cut evenly and to avoid leaving unsightly lines or patches.
* **Blending:** For seamless fades, gradually lift the comb away from the head as you reach the upper sections, creating a softer transition. The **1/8-inch (3mm)** length is perfect for the lowest and tightest part of many fades.
4. **Cleaning During Use:** Periodically brush away accumulated hair from the comb and clipper blades to maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent clogging.
5. **Detachment:** To remove, gently press the release tab (if present on your clipper) or apply gentle pressure to the base of the comb, sliding it off the blade.
6. **Post-Use Maintenance:** After each client, thoroughly clean the metal comb with a disinfected brush to remove all hair. For comprehensive sanitation, disinfect it according to your local health regulations (e.g., barbicide solution or appropriate sanitizers). Dry completely before storing.
