How to cut men's hair at home?

Men who like to keep the hair short can't bear sloppy ends. But styling hair at home isn't everybody's cup of tea.

Do your research

In addition to this, self-cut YouTube videos can help you a lot. After watching the videos, look for the standard dimensions that you found in the videos.

Wet your hair

"Wet hair allows us to be more precise when creating clean lines." - Justine Marjan

After completing your research, now it's time to start cutting. However, for an efficient haircut, the first task is to wet your hair before anything else.

You can wash the hair with any random shampoo. Apart from this, you can sprinkle the water using a spray bottle.

Wet hair eases the hair cutting process, and you can chop down ends finely.

Detangle your hair

After wetting down your hair, now detangle your hair. You can use a comb for detangling, and it brings all knots to the same level.

In addition to this, detangling helps to make sure hair is evenly cut and sync with one another.

Section your hair using a comb

Hair clips are the most significant that you can use to section your hair. So, use the hairclips according to the cutting style that you want to re-create.

Start by sectioning with the clips and mark the difference between the most extended sections (the top of the head).

Now keep the difference between the shorter areas that are the sides of the head.

If you have long hair, then you can use clips to separate your top section from the sides.

Use scissors to cut the top

Instead of using clippers, now use the scissors to cut the top sections of hair. In this way, you not only add texture to your hair.

nAbove all, as we mentioned earlier, it is better to use professional scissors instead of kitchen scissors.

Note: If you want short hair, you can use an electrical trimmer (Hair clipper) to cut.

Take care of all strays using trimmers

If you are cutting your hair for the first time, then a trimmer could be your helper. It means that you can look after most of the areas using the trimmer.

After cutting your hair, you can use a trimmer to set all additional strays. But you can use scissors to chop down the other strands. But for beginners, it's better to go with the trimmer.

Note: While doing all this, don't perform in haste, as it can destroy everything. Most of the disasters happen in the end when you think you're done.

Now take a shower

It is the last step of the whole process. You can either brush yourself off or take a shower. As a result, you can get rid of all excess hair and gives you a fresh look.
