1. The "up and out" technique involves changing the angle of the clippers as you move away from the head. Explain how this change in angle relates to creating a fade, and how it affects the length of the hair that is cut at different points.

2. The video mentions using different numbered clipper guards to achieve a fade. Explain how the number on the guard relates to the length of the hair left uncut, and how this affects the angle of transition between different lengths.

3. Explain how the lever on the side of the clippers adjusts the blade, and how this adjustment can be used to fine-tune the angles and blend between different clipper guard lengths.
