i am going to try to cut my hubbys hair tonight and if he dont like it he will get it cut professionally tomorrow.so now, the top seems easy, but how are the sides cut? diagrams?

Use a tapper attachment on the clipper. If he has long hair and you are going to use a scissors, don't try. That takes training.
