Fading/Tapering
A haircut is called fading when it goes all the way around the head. The taper cut is longer on the top and tapers off on the sides and the back. Both tapering and fading can either be more dramatically styled or worn with a subtle blending. Tapering and fading can be done high, medium, or low.

T-Trimmer Clipper
T-Trimmer Clipper
T-Trimmer Clipper
The t-trimmer is great for finishing cuts. It’s called the t-trimmer because the corners of the blade are shaped like a "t". It’s best used to shave around ears, the nape of the neck, or for the beard or neck area. The t-trimmer doesn’t have different lengths of blades, but it does have a stationary blade and a mobile blade.
Adjustable Clipper

T-Trimmer Clipper
The adjustable clipper doesn’t work by switching out blades, but you can change the blade length as you’re using the clipper to seamlessly blend the different lengths of the cut. The blade adjusts from 3/8 of an inch to 1/16 of an inch, allowing a lot of versatility in the cuts you create with the clippers. Clipper guards can also be used to achieve the desired haircut.
