Follow The Steps One By One To Trim Your Hair at Home

Getting a haircut can be one of the easiest ways to transform your look. We all know that a good style can make a huge difference in your overall appearance, but can you achieve one without going to the salon?

Given the current situation where we are spending most of our time indoors, trimming your hair at home might feel like the best option. However, not all of us are experts at haircuts and giving a haircut to yourself can be one of the most difficult projects to embark on.
Here are a couple of tips which can help you trim your hair at home without regretting the decision later. All you'll need are a towel, a comb with wide and fine teeth, scissors, a scrunchie, and fine mist spray. Once you've gathered those, follow the steps one be one, constantly checking the progress:

Get the right tools

Lay a towel on the surface you'll be cutting over to make the clean-up super quick and easy. Pick up your comb with wide and fine teeth. Brook says the wide-tooth side gives less tension, which is great for wavy or curly textures. You'll also need a good pair of scissors, so it glides through and doesn't chew your ends. The main goal is to open up your hair around your face, add some movement, and remove dry ends while keeping the length.

Create a guide on dry hair

You'll need to cut on dry hair so you can see the shape. Wet hair isn't the best indicator, Brook said, as it stretches. Create a guide in the front, by taking the super tiny pieces on both sides. Use your ears to section those away. Twist the part where you want to cut it, take the scissors, and cut down. That gives the hair more of a tapered end instead of a blunt one. Remember, if you have wavy or curly hair, less is more because your hair will bounce up

Cut in small sections

Go little by little you don't want to cut off too much. It is better to be safe than sorry. Then use a scrunchie or a hair tie to put up the back half of your hair. Keep cutting the front part of your hair from top to bottom, toward the floor.

Move on to the end

Don't forget to check along the way that the sides are even by bringing both ends side by side in front of your face. Once you are done with the front, take out your ponytail. Separate your hair onto both sides, and cut into the ends vertically. This will soften your blunt ends and add a little more movement.

Revive your hair

Use a facial spray or fine hair mist to revive the hair and see the shape. Although this tips can help you get that much needed trim to keep your hair looking lively, it is still for the best if you leave it to the professionals.
