does number 3 leave some hair?
No.1 leaves the shortest hair, 2 is slightly longer, and 3 is longer still. Using no attachment will get the closest to the skin (obviously).
Edited to reply to jew pie:
The No. 3 attachment DOES leave hair.
no.
..my hair, that is. It's starting to thin noticeably at the front- do I hang on to it for as long as I can or just get the clippers out now?
im 30 and i use the clippers
Had this happen to a friend of mine. He went straight for the clippers.
Your hair should not be thining at 20, you should contact a doctor, there might be something more to this.
My hair started thinning at 30.
Try a rogaine like product. That might help, if not, eh, embrace it and go bald.
Try Rogaine. Please don't shave your head, unless you are in the military or a cancer patient, then that looks so bad.

Is there any rel way to get of razor bumps and blackheads from underneath the neack especially. i use clippers instead of a razor, the razor and the cream seem to cut to close and when the hair comes back it hurts some and bumps up quikly i had to grow a beard for a while to make sure thy were gone. they have amny products but do any truly work i exfoliate using clean and clear currently(after I shave). ANy help???
walgreens sells bump cream,it's with the shave cream.
Use a oatmeal exfoliating scrub and follow up with a product called "Bump Away" You can usually find it in most "black barber shops"
My ex is black and he had the same problem forever, especially on the neck. He says to use black soap that can be found at any beauty supply store that sells hair. Hope this helps and good luck!!

yeah,wahl......so cute
WITH 22 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN HAIR STYLING. WAHL IS ONE OF THE BEST BRANDS OF HAIR CLIPPERS I HAVE USED. I HAVE TRIED OTHER CLIPPERS, BUT I SEEM TO GO BACK TO THE WAHLS. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS TO KEEP THEM OILED AND CLEAN THE HAIR FROM THEM AFTER EVERY USE. THIS WILL HELP WITH KEEPING THE BLADES AT THEIR BEST. GIVE THEM A TRY, I THINK YOU'LL LIKE THEM.
I have a maltese/shihtzu so his hair is pretty straight with a very slight wave.
I have some clippers that are normally for humans. Is that okay? And I planned to use a #4 - i read 1 article talking about a #10 could they mean pet clippers? And do I use the same number all over or will I need shorter ones for other areas such as his legs and feet?
They are probably talking about a #10 guard for the clippers.
sure
I cut my dogs hair all the time with "human" hair clippers, they basically are the same thing as "dog" clippers. Depending on how short you want his hair which guard you use, the first time probably wont turn out like you thought but don't give up you will get better at it.
I have been shaving my dogs hair for about 4 months but now that winter is here I decided to stop. Now some of his hair seems to not wanna grow back.
You shouldn't shave a pug. By doing in, you may have damaged to coat so bad that it will no longer grow back.
Look I own a pug %26amp; I understand y u would want 2 shave 1 the spring shedding is terrible but beyond that they r miserable in the summer heat can't keep cool constantly panting but want to play I shaved mine at a groomer last year and he was cool and happy much more comfortable than the year before Report It
Do not shave your pug!
Why are you doing this? Is it because of shedding? Pugs have very short hair and need it for protection from the sun and winter cold. They should not be shaved. You can rub it down outside to get the loose hairs out, vacuum more often.
But let his hair grow back in. Hopefully it will become like new but it may take 6 months to a year.
Why do you shave your pug? Their hair protects them from both heat and cold. If it is to prevent shedding I find a good rub down with a rubber glove every day does the trick. Pugs can be prone to skin and coat problems but other more serious things can cause hair to not grow back.
Why are you shaving a pug's hair? Pug's are a breed that do not get shaved unless they have some sort of fungus that needs topical treatment and the Vet says it needs shaving.
So I would strongly advise if you just do this because you think it looks cute or something, to stop. Also, if you are not an experienced groomer or real familiar with dog clippers, you can burn your dogs skin. Maybe that is why the hair is not growing back everywhere?
They don't have much hair to start with. Why would yoiu want a bald pug? That is cruel. I certainly hope you are not serious.
It may never grow back in right. I'd shave him if it was medically necessary, but that's it. I have never had a pug, but have had other dogs that needed to be shaved for surgeries, and on some the hair grew back--on others, they always had thinner sparse hair. One even grew back with a cowlick thing.
Here's hoping your dogs fur looks good soon! Stop shaving the poor thing.
Shaving your pug? Pugs have a very thin layer of hair to start with. Why would you want him to be bald? The only time you should shave a pug is when it is directed by a vet for medical reasons.
ugh!
DO NOT SHAVE DOUBLE-COATED BREEDS!!!! it destroys the coat (as you have now found out). it will never go back to the way it was before. it may improve, but you can not undo all the damage. the only dogs that should ever be shaved are single coated breeds like shih tzus, yorkies, poodles, etc.
there is really no point to shaving a double-coated dog. it doesn't make them shed less (the hair is just smaller) and the coat grows back in even thicker than before. the hair, even in really fluffy dogs like huskies and samoyeds, acts as insulation from both the heat and the cold.
it takes a long time for a pugs hair to grow back so dont be worried and if it doesnt grow bak.....knit him/her a wooly jumper! lol
dont worry... trust me i almost did the same thing.
rikku
OF COURSE it's ***NOT***,ya moron!
They're already short!
Now,it's RUINED ...forever?
Number 1 on top and keep it long at the sides please barber. Thanks, that looks great!
number one is almost bald. very little hair.
You can find the different numbers and cutting lengths here:
http://www.hairfinder.com/info/clippercu...
one is the shortest and 5 is the longest, they vary by 1/4 inches, and you can move the blades on your clippers up and down for added variations another 1/4 inch.
Works by eighth's of inches. ie no1 = 1/8inch (about 3mm) no2 = 1/4inch (about 6mm), no.3 = 3/8inch, no.4=1/2inch, no5=5/8inch. Some clippers go all the way up to a no.8 which is an inch long. Hope that helps.
