How To Get The Comb Over Haircut

So that you would be able to pull off a comb over haircut, your hair should be at least 2-4 inches long. The length you are going to leave on top depends on the desired amount of volume you are willing to get. For the sides, you are welcome to choose any size of the guard. However, for the best result, we recommend opting for a guard size between #4 and #6. It is also possible to complement the voluminous top with a fade haircut or undercut and a hard part for a more contrasty and defined look.
