For ladies who like to change their look at the drop of a dime, getting a haircut is one of the quickest and easiest methods to do this. Naturally if the individual doing the cutting is not sure of what he/she is doing, your haircut might turn out to be a nightmare but luckily hair is always growing. So although it will require a couple months, it is possible for you to recover from a bad haircut, and if needed you can cover it up for the time being.
In any case, a haircut can really do a great deal for you when it is done correctly. Therefore here are a few things you should know if you intend to cut your own hair or someone else’s hair. These tips will not make you a master barber immediately however, with practice you’ll get it.
Required Tools
Scissors
Towel
Required Materials
Spray bottle
Fine-tooth comb
Instructions
Begin with clean, damp hair; some people choose to cut their hair while it is dry. But you are more likely to get an even cut when the hair is wet as opposed to when it is dry. Wrap the towel around your shoulders to keep your clothes from getting wet and use the fine-tooth comb to comb your hair out. Ensure that all the hairs are stretched out and even or the cut may look choppy and uneven.
Part your hair where you typically wear it parted and take a tiny section of hair and pull it straight down using the index and middle finger of one hand. Run the fine-tooth comb through this section to ensure that all the hairs are stretched out and hold the hair firmly between your fingers right above where you want to cut it. Hold the scissors with your other hand and cut straight across. If any section of your hair dries out before you are finished, use the spray bottle to re-wet your hair before moving on.
If you want layers to give volume to your hair, use the comb and haphazardly pull sections of hair straight up in the air and cut it straight across. This will make each section a different length and give the desired layered effect.
You can cut your hair in a ‘V’ or ‘U’ shape if you want; to do this part your hair in 2 down the middle and look down at the floor. Comb your hair down on either side of your head and cut straight across the bottom of your hair while in this position. The further forward your head is, the deeper the ‘V’ will be, as such if you want a ‘U’ shape look straight ahead and pull the hair straight out in front of your face rather than downward when cutting it.
Tips
Be sure to cut straight across with the scissors since cutting the hair at an angle can result in split ends afterwards.
After every snip, stop and comb the area down to evaluate and ensure it is even.
