Half an inch of hair is equal to one eighth of an inch of hair. This measurement is significant as it pertains to the size of the hair clipper guard that is used. When the clipper guard is set to a number one length, it will result in the hair being cut to one eigth of an inch. Conversely, when the guard is set to a number eight length, the hair will be one full inch in length. The use of haircut length numbers, which correspond to the plastic guards attached to electric hair clipppers, enables a customer to communicate their desired haircut length to the barber more precisely.
