Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Clipquik #16 2 Inch (51mm) Clipper Guard Attachment Comb Fits Most Wahl Full Size Hair Clippers

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

I usually have that short on the sides, longer on top look, and I prefer my top at 2 inches. I have Wahl clippers and these fit on them perfectly. The only thing is that one of the prongs did get a tad bent because of the way I had stored it - smushed together with my other guards - but I have gotten a better storage case since then and the prong did eventually even back out. It's a really big guard and it's not the most firm, so you'll have to go over your hair more than once to make sure you got it all, but I think it works well. For anyone having trouble using it, flip your hair upside down and brush it out and then cut it that way, upside down, it'll help.

Not made of the same material as Walh clipper guides.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018

I like that this guide is two inch. It is not made by Wahl. It is not made of the same material combination that Wahl uses. It has a history of breakage due to the material not having what would seem to be enough nylon content, however, it is a good product. I used mine today with good results. I had to slightly file the clipper keeper tab's notch, (it is the notch on the tab that attaches under the clipper and holds the guide on in the opening on back of clipper blade bottom) down to get the guide on my clipper. I understand how some people break off the tab. The lack of flexibility of the material lends to the problem. My Wahl clipper guides, that look the same, do not perform the same because of the material difference. I also had to be certain that the guide, the copy not the Wahl brand, was positioned so that the guide rails were between the clippers teeth. Doing so, gave the guide rails more stability. I got a great cut with no problems. I knew about its short comings and worked out the small, although detrimental, problems dealing with the material its made out of. I just had to be careful about the attachment (modified by filing a tad) and placement. And, I think if you, the reader, take these things in consideration as I did, you will have a goodly cut/sharp/tidy head of hair.

Quite Flexible, but Works

Most of the teens are wearing their hair longer these days, so my teenage son was starting to balk at my longest (1”) clipper comb. He found this one on Amazon and I agreed to give it a try. It worked great! Now he isn’t shaggy, so I am happy. And he isn’t shaved (so he claimed...), so he is happy. ;) Comb fits great on my deluxe Wahl clipper. Only complaint is that the plastic is very flexible. The combs that came with my clipper are hard plastic. This one is not nearly as rigid. It didn’t seem to affect the cutting ability, but I do question how long it will last. Based on the quality, I think it is overpriced, but still less than one salon cut, so it is what it is.

Finally the search is over

I was looking for something like this for months. I was so excited to finally find this attachment. I was concerned it wouldn't work as well as I envisioned; however, when I tried it out, it was clear that it was just what I wanted. It works great. I use it with my Wahl clipper set. It clips securely so there is no worry that it will fall off during use. I actually think it clips more securely than the Wahl attachments that came with the set. It is great to do and maintain a pixie cut. Love that I can take care of my own hair with confidence. I received a lot of compliments on my hair. People could not believe I did my own hair.

I wanted it to work, but... it didn’t

I was hopeful in buying this because I wanted it to work, but it really didn’t. I tried using this guard on the longer part of my hair to trim it down. It was too difficult to get an even cut in the more difficult spots, like the crown of my head. The quality is so-so - I was surprised by how flimsy it seemed and how thin the plastic was that I could easily move the tines on the guard. I wonder if this is perhaps why it was more difficult for me to get an even cut.

It did seem to come earlier than the projected date on the order page, though, which was a nice surprise!

The Perfect 2" Guide Plus What To Order Here On Amazon to Be Your Own Hairdresser

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a one of a kind item. It is the only 2" clipper guide in existence and it fits the Wahl Clippers sold here perfectly. I clings to the clipper very firmly.

I find it excellent but have clipper cut my own hair for four and a half years and have experience doing it. I have fine soft hair and wash my hair the day before cutting it, and rub in Tresemme Tres Gel (5* hold) before it dries. It does not make the hair stiff if used as directed but gives body. (Yes,I get it from Amazon ). You will discover that the longer the hair length the guide is designed to cut the more laborious it is to cut. This requires positioning the hair with a comb and making multiple passes from different angles to do an effective job on the crown of your head. Use this #16 for the crown. Then as you approach the rim of your head I recommend blending with a 11/2" (#12 ) Guide, and as you work down further using the 11/4" guide (#10) and use the 1" (#8 guide) for the nape. You blend the hair lengths by sweeping the clipper upwards between length zones to achieve a taper. Once you work on the rim and nape because the guides are shorter and the hair grows downwards, it goes faster! Be patient and spend time and where you finish you'll see it went faster than a visit to the hairdresser's!

Now....how do you learn, and see how to do this? You first order the "Wahl Home Haircutting Made Simple" book with included DVD. This will teach you terms like "crown","rim",and "nape". It is right here on Amazon at a reasonable price. View it and read the book and see how easy and frugal this is. ( It must be good....the man cutting his OWN hair gave me courage to try this myself and I saw how easy it was to blend lengths!) Once you've done that come back to Amazon and buy their basic Wahl clipper which includes an apron, comb and scissors plus an array of cutting guides from 1/8" to and including 1" (#8). (It only costs $20!). Add to it this 2" #16 guide and a 11/2"(#12) and 11/4" (#10). (I believe there is an offer of #10 and #12 together.)

This all, book and DVD as well, will cost less than $75 including shipping and tax. (If you have a time finding any items right on Amazon, go off the site and Google it and pick out the Amazon offer. ) $75 is about the price of three haircuts with the tip, but it will last for many years and you can tip yourself on the fourth haircut! I have saved a lot of money over 41/2 years and you will, too!😀

Sorry this was so long, but I want a great product to sell and see people succeed with this so I had to be complete in my description. Amazon knows I always write back to people with questions, so feel free to ask "Steph" a question. The customer base here has taught me so much, and I want to return the favor. Be well!

Cheap, broke, and didn't fit my Wahl

DO NOT BUY FOR AT HOME HAIRCUT!

For a $10 blade and $4 shipping this is a piece of flimsy poop. It does NOT fit on a Wahl, and the rear clip that snugly secures the comb attachment on the rear of the trimmer head just broke away. I believe that the plastic is so cheap that it just fell off. I was going to fix it with some super glue but when I was looking at the comb minus the rear clip, there was no way the trimmer was going to fit.

I have a plain old Wahl set that was purchased for about $30-35, nothing special. The trimmer head has a lever that extends and retracts, I had it on the retracted or shortest of the two.

DO NOT BUY. I just wanted to trim the kids hair.

The shipping was fast. But everything is fast when things are not properly. Take some more time unlike me just searching Amazon to help with my haircut conundrum you'll get a better product and a lower price.

READ THIS - so you don't break it within 30 seconds

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2020

The clipper guard arrived today. I read other reviews ahead of time warning about the fragile nature of the clipper “teeth” and the possibility of the tab breaking off due to 1. to tight of a fit and 2. less flexible plastic material clipper guard is made from. There is nothing you can do about the plastic material content. But you can do something about the tight fit by filing down the capture ridge of the tab that holds the clipper guard on the cutter blade. A finger nail file or sand paper file that women use on their finger nails might work because you don’t need to remove a lot of material…I would estimate between 1/32 to 1/64 of an inch. I used a conventional metal file used for filing metal. It is thicker and cuts more quickly and it also filed some other parts (due to it’s thickness) that I wanted to leave alone. You can see the tracks of the file on the other parts of the Clipper Guide in the picture. See picture for the “capture ridge” to identify what needs to be filed. It is a “bump” or “ridge” on the inside of the “tab”. The tab is the hooked piece of plastic that snaps in on the back of the blade and the capture ridge is on the inside of that tab. Make sure you understand how this piece fits on the clippers. Put it into position without applying any force and closely examine what needs to be filed down. Make sure the front of clipper blade is pushed all the way in to the plastic 2” Clipper Guide and then lower the rear of the clipper guide into position to be clicked into place. With enough pressure it will click in but will it also break? I did not want to find out. It was very tight and felt like it might break if I forced it any harder. With the pre-existing knowledge that other people had broken their tab off I was extra cautious and decided to file it down a little before trying. After filing it down, it clicked in without flexing too much. Treat it gently and it might last a long time. I’ll add to the review once I use it to cut my hair. I will also follow up the review if this piece breaks. It is flimsy so it must be treated carefully. I gave it 4 because I have not even used it yet. I think it is way overpriced for a simple injection molded piece of plastic but there are no competitors so the high price stays high. The build could be much better with a higher quality plastic (with nylon) and a better fit from the factory. At this price there is no excuse for a poor fit. It's probably easier and cheaper for the manufacturer to replace broken pieces than to change their molds to better fit a Wahl product.

NOT bad

I've been cutting my hair since I was like 17. I used to do a buzz cut so that was nice and easy. Then for some odd reason when I hit my late 20s and into my 30s, I decided the buzz cut wasn't the best look, so... I started with like a 1.5in I think and while it was nice and allowed me to style it in my usual Lego-Guy hair style that I like, it was still a little too short and was still hard to style. THEN I found these.

Pros:
-Fits the clippers it says it does.
-Quality seems on par with Wahl's offerings.

Cons:
-May not be their fault, but the combs tend to spread out more and you miss a lot of hairs, so you have to make a lot of extra passes.

Conclusion:
If you're an at-home trimmer like me, I recommend these. 2 inches seems to give you more than enough play for a basic and adult styling and even extra room for more fun spiking if that's your thing, not mine. And makes it so you can cut it yourself, or if you have a partner, this will make the job super easy and saves you hair trips. Now for me it was never more than $30 but I would have to go every 2-3 weeks at their convenience. NOW... hop in the shower since it's nice and big, cut my hair, remove the clippers so I don't electrocute myself and take a quick shower to remove the hairs. As for clean-up now that the hairs are much longer, I can sweep them up in a nice pile with my hands even and just throw the clump out. And whatever doesn't go in my hands easily without an issue goes down the drain.
