Scissors
Standard scissors may work in an emergency situation, but their blunt blades can often leave your locks looking less-than-stylish and cause split ends to form.
For optimal results in your own home, invest in hair scissors with razor-sharp blades – typically more costly than household models but sure to deliver smooth locks and healthy locks!
Before using shears, have the individual or yourself you are cutting or yourself sit upright and brush their hair before misting with water to dampen it. For the correct grip and control when handling scissors, place your ring finger through the smaller ring in the handle while your thumb passes through the larger one; this provides a natural grip while controlling them – this prevents fatigued fingers quickly! To further customize cutting methods you may opt for convex or beveled edge blades instead.
Hair Clips
Clips can help protect your locks during the cutting process by holding it in place and making it easier for you to track where you stand in terms of completing a haircut.
Clips that provide some stretch are ideal for this task and can usually be found at beauty supply stores or larger retailers. Making the effort to learn how to cut your own hair can save money on salon visits by having the appropriate tools. A good pair of sharp scissors, along with careful comb through before starting can make all the difference when cutting at home. In case any accidents do happen, wear old clothing so cleanup is easy afterwards and set up in an easily cleanable area like YouTube tutorials (just be sure to choose ones hosted by licensed professionals!). There’s also plenty of useful advice available online as tutorials.
Mirror
Mirrors make cutting your hair straightforward and convenient. There are various kinds of mirrors, but for maximum confidence when cutting hair, a 360-degree viewing mirror may be your ideal solution. It lets you see every angle of your head while giving you confidence that you are cutting accurately.
