Scissoring question from newbie UPDATE UGH I DID IT

I’m doing the quarantine groom thing like so many and I am at the point where I need to start on my big hairy guys head and crest😱 I usually have my groomer take approx half his length off for summer. She told me on his head to comb it forward and cut with my straight shears across his forehead basically kind of at eye level then use rounded shears to shape as he has a blended top knot into his ears ( see pic below of brown boy) for his crest she said comb to one side and cut along the line already there. My question I realized I don’t understand is do I comb the ENTIRE top knot forward or just the front section and on mane do I comb ENTIRE thing to one side then to other or kinda part down middle and do each to its respective side? This is so daunting lol on his legs he has a good three inches or more but I’m going to use my clippers with a comb to do those per her suggestion as she said scissoring them would be too hard for me. But on head and mane I have to scissor so... thank you for any advice. Hoping to not butcher my beautiful boy to badly🤞🏻 View attachment 466018
