Preparation
Assemble all necessary tools together to make work simpler. This should include hair cutting scissors, towels and capes (for wearing over shoulders) in one location as well as clippers (good quality ones are recommended) along with band-aids just in case anything goes amiss! Begin by washing and blow drying your hair lightly before styling it into something close to its regular state – this will allow you to see more easily how well your cut is progressing. Once complete, use a hand mirror to assess your work and avoid missing any areas and achieve optimal results. After completing both sides and back of head, move onto top.
Tools
No matter if you’re frugal, busy, or simply love DIY ethos; taking the time to learn how to cut your own hair properly may be worth your while. Of course, having the appropriate tools makes all the difference here! Some individuals prefer using clippers, which can provide precise cuts. An alternative option would be scissors, which are more versatile and generally safe if handled properly. They can help with everything from trimming bangs quickly to creating textured layers. Comfort should always come first when choosing hair-cutting tools, and light and easy handling tools should make cutting your own hair less of a chore and potentially even enjoyable! When searching for tools, aim to select ones with ergonomic designs and user-friendliness features; any that are awkward or cumbersome should be avoided.
Cutting
The Self-Cut System travel mirror and app provide education and confidence needed to give yourself a professional-looking haircut at home. When cutting, start at your nape and secure a section with a tie or ponytail; work your way upward, keeping a symmetrical style in mind as much as possible. A hand mirror may come in handy to check that all lines are sharp and straight. Remember to always use styling shears instead of household scissors to avoid split ends and cross-contamination. They’re designed to be sharp and precise so your DIY haircut will come out looking as close to perfect as possible!
