IMPROVED METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CLIPPING HAIR ABSTRACT An electric hair clipper is disclosed which has a stationary blade and a reciprocating blade. Teeth on the stationary blade are arranged in a plurality of groups of one or more, and preferably two, adjacent teeth. Each group of teeth is separated by a substantially flat space. The reciprocating blade has teeth which are arranged in clusters of one or more teeth, and preferably one tooth, and have substantially flat gaps between the clusters. The clusters and the gaps between the clusters are arranged so that the clusters correspond to the groups, and the spaces between the groups of teeth on the stationary blade are substantially unobstructed by the reciprocating blade. Hair strands may be cut by passing the hair clipper over the hair in a series of swift, flowing strokes. The clipper may be passed over the hair at the outer periphery of the hair, or it may be passed over the hair within the periphery, to change the hair style. The hair style may be changed gradually using the swift stroke method just described, without drastically changing the style with any single pass. In this manner, the hair may be slowly sculpted into a desired hair style, and the hair style may be inspected easily as it is created. The hair clipper previously described may also be used to thin or layer hair. In one such method of thinning or layering hair, the operator passes a comb through the hair in a swift stroke, creating a trough in the hair behind the comb. The hair clipper follows the comb in the trough, cutting hair strands which are displaced by the comb as the hair returns to its natural position. If desired, the clipper can be passed through the hair at an angle away from the scalp, so that the hair strands are cut different lengths. In another method of thinning or layering the hair, the hair clipper is passed through the hair at various depths beneath the outer periphery of the head without using a comb. Both methods may be used to thin or layer hair without producing distinct, differentiated layers, while creating a natural, fluffy hair texture. In still another method, relatively distinct notches may be created by holding a tuft of hair in one hand, and moving the hair clipper into the tuft generally perpendicular to the tuft.
