While holding the clippers in you dominant hand, comb the hair with the other hand. Make sure that you comb the hair in the direction of their growth, starting at the temples and moving up the skull. After you have combed the hair, see if any hair hang or stick out. If that is the case, use the clippers to trim the hair as necessary.

Work in a similar fashion on the other temple and trim the hair if required. While working on the temples, make sure you properly take care of the hairline behind the ears. Use a mirror to see the hairline in order to ensure it is straight. If it is not, trim some of the hair beneath the hairline.
