What do Clipper guard numbers mean?

The numbers on your clipper guards/combs indicate how short your hair will be when you cut your hair. Most clipper guards run from length 1 or 1/2 to length 10 or greater. A length 1 or 1/2 guard will cut your hair very close to the skin of your head, while a guard with a higher number will leave your hair longer.

Guard Lengths

Guard lengths may vary slightly between different clipper brands, and a length 1 guard will cut your hair to about 1/8 of an inch, or about 3 millimeters. With each comb number, the length of your haircut will increase by 3 to 4 mm, depending on which clipper brand you are using. A 10th number guard will cut your hair to 1 1/4 inches or between 30 and 32 mm. A clipper with no guard is the same as you are shaving with a blade.

In most cases, apart from the guard number, you will also find two other length measurement units on each clipper guard. The metric unit will show you the hair cut size in mm, and on the other side, you will find the equivalent in the US imperial units, or in other words, length in inches.
