Using the 4F blade leaves hair at approximately what length?

• A. 1/4 inch
• B. 3/8 inch
• C. 1/2 inch
• D. 1 inch

Answer: (B)

The length left by a blade is about how long the hair will be after clipping. The 4F blade is a Fine blade and is designed to leave a mid-length finish, shorter than a standard #4 but not as close as a very short cut. The typical length it leaves is approximately 3/8 inch. So, when you use a 4F blade, expect hair to be around 3/8 inch long. (Hair length can vary a bit with coat type and technique, but 3/8 inch is the standard reference.)
