What are clipper guards commonly known as?

Hair Combs
Attachment Combs
Cutter Guards
Guiding Combs

The correct answer is: Attachment Combs

Clipper guards are commonly known as attachment combs because they attach directly to the clipper blade, allowing barbers and stylists to achieve specific cutting lengths. These combs come in various sizes, corresponding to different lengths of hair they will leave after cutting. Using attachment combs gives professionals precise control over the length of hair being cut, ensuring consistent and desired results for their clients. The term highlights their functionality—serving as attachments that guide the clipper for a uniform cut. This distinguishing feature is crucial for providing a tailored haircut, rather than relying on the clippers alone, which may cut too closely without the guard. Understanding the purpose and correct terminology of these tools is vital for any barbering professional.
