The essential tools needed for cutting your own hair include a pair of sharp scissors, hair clippers, a comb, and hair clips to section your hair. It&#8217;s important to invest in high-quality tools that are specifically designed for cutting hair, as using the wrong tools can result in a less-than-desirable outcome.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to having the right tools, it&#8217;s also important to prepare your hair before cutting it. Start by washing and drying your hair thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup. This will help you see the natural texture and shape of your hair, making it easier to cut. If you have curly hair, consider cutting it while it&#8217;s dry to avoid any surprises once it&#8217;s styled.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to have a clean and well-lit space to work in. Choose a room with good lighting and a large mirror that allows you to see your entire head. Make sure the space is free of clutter and distractions, and consider laying down a towel or sheet to catch any hair clippings.<\/p>\n<p>By having the right tools and preparing your hair and workspace properly, you&#8217;ll be able to approach cutting your own hair with confidence and achieve a great result.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_a_Style\"><\/span>Choosing a Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the right style is crucial when it comes to cutting your own hair. It&#8217;s important to choose a style that is easy to maintain and suits your face shape and hair type. A style that looks great on someone else may not work for you, so it&#8217;s important to choose a style that suits your unique features.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a style, consider your face shape and hair type. For example, if you have a round face, a longer style may be more flattering, while a shorter style can help elongate a square face. If you have fine hair, a shorter style with layers can add volume and texture, while thick hair may benefit from a longer style with blunt ends.<\/p>\n<p>Some simple styles that are easy to achieve at home include a blunt bob, a layered cut, or a pixie cut. A blunt bob is a classic style that is easy to maintain and can be customized to suit your face shape and hair type. A layered cut is another versatile style that can add volume and texture to your hair. A pixie cut is a short, edgy style that can be customized to suit your unique features.<\/p>\n<p>When determining the right length for your hair, consider the shape of your face and the texture of your hair. If you have a round face, a longer style may be more flattering, while a shorter style can help elongate a square face. If you have fine hair, a shorter style with layers can add volume and texture, while thick hair may benefit from a longer style with blunt ends.<\/p>\n<p>To determine where to make the cut, start by sectioning your hair into manageable sections using hair clips. Use a comb to comb through each section and determine where to make the cut based on the desired length. Be sure to take your time and check your progress in the mirror frequently to avoid any mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>By choosing the right style and determining the right length for your hair, you&#8217;ll be able to achieve a great result when cutting your own hair.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_Techniques\"><\/span>Cutting Techniques<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several cutting techniques that can be used when cutting your own hair, depending on the style and texture of your hair.

This technique is often used for layered cuts and can help create a more natural, blended look.<\/p>\n<p>Slide cutting involves cutting the hair while sliding the scissors down the hair shaft to create a softer, blended look. This technique is often used for longer styles and can help create a more natural, flowing look.<\/p>\n<p>Razor cutting involves using a razor to cut the hair, which can create a textured, choppy look.

You will need <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3sL9noE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special sharp scissors<\/a> to cut hair (not any type of old scissors you have around the house) and a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2RUmlDI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fine-tooth comb<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>It is not a good idea to cut your hair with blunt scissors, as it will be more difficult for you and you can end up with split ends, which is completely contrary to the reason why you decided to cut your lope!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wash your hair,<\/strong> but don&#8217;t dry it. Wet hair is much more natural to cut than dry hair, so be sure to wash it off with shampoo and conditioner before you start cutting it. Don&#8217;t touch the hairdryer!<\/li>\n<li>Thoroughly comb your hair when you get out of the shower. The hair must be as straightened and detangled as possible. If you have very fluffy or too straight hair that even stands up, use a leave-in conditioner.<\/li>\n<li>If you have very long or thick hair, some sections of the hair will likely begin to dry before cutting. To fix it, fill a spray bottle with water and a little bit of conditioner. So you can moisten your hair when you need it!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hold the upper parts of the hair with a clamp.<\/strong> Depending on how thick your hair is, you will have to divide it into several sections to cut it, starting from the bottom layer until you reach the top layer.<\/li>\n<li>Use elastic bands or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aW7gZh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hair clips<\/a> to divide it into sections. Just make sure the sectioned hair doesn&#8217;t come loose because otherwise, it could get in the way of the scissors!<\/li>\n<li>Once you&#8217;re done with the bottom layer, you can start to drop the other sections as you go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find the split ends. <\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before you can give your hair a small cut to get rid of damaged ends, you will have to inspect it to know how much to cut.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take a look at the tips. If they look sparse, sloppy, or unruly, or if you can see split ends, these are probably damaged.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You will cut about six millimeters (0.25 inches) above where your hair is damaged. This will keep your hair looking good.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Measure how much you need to cut.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0To achieve a precise cut, take a section of hair between the index and middle fingers of your non-dominant hand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Run your fingers through your hair until you reach a point slightly above where you want to cut. Make sure the hair does not knot or curl between your fingers. It should be perfectly flat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your hair will look shorter when dry, so be careful when measuring how much you will cut. This is important, especially for people who have curly hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember that later you can cut more, but you will not be able to fix it if you chop too much on the first attempt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trim the tips.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0If you intend to cut the hair, hold the scissors parallel to your fingers. Keep a consistent tension on the hair you are holding between your fingers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trim slowly, letting the cut hair fall out and holding your fingers and section off hair steady in the same position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For straight hair ends, cut them straightforwardly and leave them that way. However, if you prefer a smoother finish, hold the scissors vertically and cut them directly into the hair until there are no sharp angles. This will give the ends a lighter appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make sure that the ends are even.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Take a section of each side of the face with your thumbs and forefingers, and make sure the lots are level after trimming the first layer of hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You should pull your hair down with your fingers at the same rate. If you run out of hair on either hand first, that section will be shorter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recheck the length until you have the size you want, and then go to the next coat of hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cut the layers (optional).<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0The layers should be left to the professionals, especially if you have thick or curly hair. However, if you need to trim the layers that frame the face, use the following technique:<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take as much hair as possible between your fingers, then trim as little hair as possible, holding the scissors tilted down.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use the smoothing method described above to level the tips; then, check the layers on each side of the face to ensure they are the same length.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recheck the hair when it is dry.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Check for any noticeable inconsistencies after you have dried your hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3sPS5Xz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hand mirror<\/a> to check the back of your head, or ask a trusted friend to do it for you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In case you find any irregularity, retake the scissors and try to carefully cut as little as possible so as not to leave any lop.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Cut_Your_Hair_in_Bangs\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to Cut Your Hair in Bangs?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Get sharp scissors.<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0You can\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vdJoYs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">buy special scissors for cutting hair<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.

Slowly pull your hair down with your fingers at the same rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If either hand runs out of hair before the other, you&#8217;ll need to trim a bit to match the sides.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Do it until you are satisfied and the lengths are even.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cut the bangs sideways (optional).<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> If you want the bangs to be set aside, comb them in the direction you want them to be.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tilt your head forward a little, so the bangs move away from your face. Place the scissors in the direction you want the bangs to be.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To start, place the scissors where you want the shortest part of the bangs to be. Side-swept bangs will have to be longer as you cut. Therefore, you should tip the scissors down slightly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make minor cuts through the bangs. The lengths should be a little variable, but not too much. Try to cut sections that are approximately 12 mm (0.5 inches) wide.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When the bangs dry, touch them up. Tousle your hair a little and see if you like where it falls. Make more cuts if necessary.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Cut_Curly_Hair\"><\/span>How to Cut Curly Hair?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How I Trim My Curly Hair\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T-gF5_MYj2Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The best way to cut your hair is to section your layers and make minor cuts to the ends for healthier hair for thick and curly hair.

Having everything you need will make DIY easier.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"a4cdb0a0-692e-4b1e-bd7e-8588c7fb9d84\">First, you&#8217;ll need a pair of sharp scissors. Regular household scissors can damage your hair and cause split ends. Choose hair-cutting scissors with sharp blades and comfortable handles.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"5d33a890-f660-4556-a97b-bf9edd473eb3\">Next, section your hair and create an even cut with a comb. When detangling your hair, a wide-toothed comb is ideal. When creating precise sections, a fine-toothed comb is best.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"49ae0026-d2bc-4545-8a69-dbc661191885\">Keep your hair in place while you work on different sections with hair clips or ties. Clips that won&#8217;t slip out of your hair are best.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"4a086520-64c1-40e3-ab40-1a07c7a931e9\">To see the back of your head while cutting, you may want to invest in a handheld mirror or a three-way mirror. This will make it easier to achieve a balanced and symmetrical cut.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"f7854b7a-ace0-48fc-929b-9f03b0af7aa4\">By gathering all these tools and equipment, you&#8217;ll be well-prepared to tackle your DIY haircut with confidence.<\/p>\n<h3 data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"61f7e33c-d76b-49ee-bae8-5a7f1a5c480f\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Decide_on_the_length_and_style_you_want\"><\/span>2.

This will help guide your cutting process and ensure a look you&#8217;re happy with.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"4efe38a9-b5c1-464b-8ba5-50aab88413e4\">Consider factors such as your face shape, hair texture, and personal style when deciding on length and style. Do you want a blunt cut or something more layered? Are you looking for a dramatic change or just a trim? Take some time to browse online or in magazines for inspiration and ideas.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"c610ea43-dc35-4a94-8b78-9951da8b30b7\">It&#8217;s also important to be realistic about what you can achieve at home. If you&#8217;re new to cutting your own hair, it&#8217;s best to start with a simple trim rather than a complex style. Remember, you can always go back and adjust later if needed.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"1e0d0f20-8ce9-4c82-a484-01d1838764e7\">Once you&#8217;ve decided on a length and style, it&#8217;s time to section your hair.<\/p>\n<h3 data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"da6f6345-edfe-4595-94ca-88f7ac5bea8a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Section_your_hair_and_start_cutting\"><\/span>3.

This step is crucial as it helps ensure that you cut your hair evenly and avoid any mistakes.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"e919f78d-c7a4-4944-ad8c-d4925d13441a\">Start by dividing your hair into four sections: two at the front and two at the back. Use a comb to create a straight line down the middle of your head. Bring the comb down to your ears to separate the front from the back. Clip each section of hair out of the way using hair clips.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"7abebc66-c140-4aef-bb44-7b92f3e6ae26\">Next, take one of the back sections and divide it horizontally. Hold the top section up with a hair clip, leaving the bottom section loose. Comb through the bottom section to remove any tangles or knots, then hold it between your fingers and cut off the desired amount. Be sure to cut straight across and avoid angling the scissors.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"e7d4e970-640e-4e6e-b707-f00899f2fe3b\">Repeat this process with the top section of your hair back, then move on to the sides. Take one of the front sections and divide it in half vertically, clipping one half out of the way. Comb through the remaining section and hold it between your fingers, cutting off the desired length. Repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"bfa1b63f-64a4-4b4c-86af-d9de0c23d715\">Once you have finished cutting all the sections, use a mirror to check for any uneven spots or mistakes. Make any necessary adjustments before finishing touches and cleanup.<\/p>\n<h3 data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"f3e382e2-e9fd-4b92-9af3-21991b01bc7f\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Finishing_touches_and_cleaning_up\"><\/span>4.

First, examine your hair in a mirror. Check for any uneven sections or areas that need trimming. Use scissors to adjust.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"21d7b20d-eebc-459b-b787-6f6959fa1c01\">Next, use a comb to ensure that all of your hair is even and styled the way you want it. If you are looking for a layered look, use scissors to create texture and blend the layers together.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"a240fc96-673e-4ba9-89ac-3049dbd43d43\">Once you are satisfied with the length and style of your hair, it&#8217;s time to clean it up. Use a vacuum or broom to sweep up any loose hair on the floor. You can also use a damp cloth to wipe down any surfaces that may have hair clippings on them.<\/p>\n<p data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"59a48788-79ba-4ade-a926-020fd64afe62\">Finally, wash and style your hair as desired.
