How to Cut Your Own Long hair Safely

Cutting long hair yourself can be a challenging task, but it is recommended to seek professional help for better results.

Preparation

1. Wash and dry your hair thoroughly before styling.

2. Divide your hair into sections:

– Bangs

– Top-front and back

– Left and right sides

– Section at the nape of your neck

Be Prepared

Before you start cutting your hair, make sure you have the right tools:

– Use hair-specific scissors, not kitchen scissors, which may not give desired results. Hair-specific scissors can be found at beauty supply stores.

Be Careful with Your Scissors

Invest in hair scissors (also called shears) for a precise cut. Avoid using kitchen scissors as they lack sharpness and can cause unintended crooked results. Use alligator jaw clips to secure loose sections and prevent accidents during the cutting process.
