We go to a salon for a haircut because we have seen and experienced many haircut disasters at home. We avoid traveling back to our childhood, where we would go rouge with a pair of scissors and cut off all our hair. However, if you cannot afford a haircut or simply don’t have the time, you can always give yourself a trim at home.
Until you have had a little practice, trim is the best way to go. Avoid giving yourself big haircuts, like bangs or layers, at home as they can go sideways really fast. Start with careful little snips because cutting off big chunks inevitably leads to a haircut disaster. Save your big changes to the professionals and go ahead with trimming your layers, bangs, and snip off those split ends.
Here are a few things to keep in mind before you give yourself a trim at home.
Purchase Styling Shears
Don’t make the mistake of using your kitchen knife for hair cutting. Instead of having a fresh look, you’ll probably end up with an uneven cut and split ends due to the dull edges. There are special shears available in the market for haircuts. They are razor-sharp, making the process of haircutting easier and fast.
Now right and left-handed shears are both available to make sure everyone can make use of them for a haircut. Olfen Beauty has a variety of styling shears that will assist you in making your at-home haircutting easy. They will give you the best cut possible at home, even if you are a beginner.
Start With Small Snips
In order to decide the length you want, start with small snips. You can always decide to cut more if you want, but you can not add back the hair you have already cut. Try to cut your hair dry since that will give you a more accurate representation of your hair length. However, if you are cutting wet hair, remember that your hair will look shorter once it dries.
Divide Your Hair Before Cutting
If you have thick hair, dividing your hair off into sections is a good option. You can start from the back of your head and work your way up. Dividing your hair will also help you achieve a more precise trim. If you have layers, sectioning off different lengths will help you get the idea of how much you need to cut to maintain the same style.
Cut With Your Natural Hair
Many people prefer to cut their hair wet as it is easy and gives you a precise cut. However, cutting your hair while it’s dry should be the way to go. It is hard to get an idea about the final look with your hair wet since the hair is not in its natural state. Most salons prefer cutting hair dry, especially if they are curly or wavy so that they can easily visualize the final look and adjust according to that. Although if your hair is straight, it is advised to cut them wet. Dampen your hair with a spray bottle and brush them to smoothen out any tangles. Then bring your hair to the front and use your fingers to guide you to the angle the hair needs to be cut in. Make sure to use sharp shears to get the cleanest and sharpest cuts possible.
Follow these steps to a successful at-home haircut without any mishaps. Once you have more practice, you can move on to bigger cuts but make sure you do it carefully.
