Start with your comb slightly below the blend line, pointing the comb directly upwards, the hair protruding from the comb will act as a guide for the desired length.
Comb upwards till the shorter clipped hair disappears behind the comb, then tilt the comb away from the head.
Hold your comb still and cut the excess longer hair, if possible use a bigger comb for this technique, as it will make smoother blending.
Repeat this process, gradually trimming down the longer top hair till it blends in with a shorter clipped hair.
Be careful and cut a little bit less than needed, instead repeat the process to acquire the desired length. If you prefer you can use scissors for blending.
