  To be honest, I just jumped right and in and figured it out. I was having the local chain do #3 on sides and back and scissor-cutting the top "finger length". I paid a little attention to what they did and then tried it myself, guessing what finger length was in clipper combs. I also have a hairstyle that is semi-chosen to be compatible with this DIY cut in that as long as I remember which comb I have on the clippers, I pretty much can't screw it up. If the clipper can reach the hair, it's supposed to cut the hair. With the #3, I just go over the sides and back until it (largely) stops cutting. With the #6, I go over the top until it stops cutting. Then I go back to the #3 to redo the intersection between side and top, then take the comb off to do around the ears and neck. (This is the most likely place to make an error of cutting too much off, but your hair will grow back if you make a mistake.)
