Is it counter intuitive when you look in the mirror so you would use the right taper guard on your left side and vice versa? Or does it go from your own perspective where left taper would go on left side? Hope this makes sense, I’ve been cutting my own hair for years and this has always confused me.

      This is the answer. I usually take the attachment and comb my hair with it to make sure it lines up with what I want it to do BEFORE I attach it and start clipping.

      Exactly! This is much simpler than worrying about what the label says, as then you can reverse it by cutting back to front. The whole point is to have shorter hair by your ears and longer hair toward the top of your head.
