Preparing for the Home Haircut...What You Need To Feel Prepared

Before you start cutting your hair with the scissors from your kitchen drawer, here are a few things to do before you head out to cut your hair.

1. Buy a pair of quality hair-cutting scissors. You don't need to buy anything fancy for home trimmings. To get the best cut, you will need a pair of sharp and fine edge hair shears. You should pay attention to the blades. Choose something smaller than you can handle.
2. A comb with large teeth is also a good choice. A comb with wider teeth will give you a more delicate cut.
3. It would be best if you always had a towel on hand to catch your hair. This will prevent you from making a huge mess. For a quick and easy clean-up, let the hair fall on the towel and not onto the floor.
4. Use hair mist spray or a water-filled water bottle. To ensure a clean-cut, you will need to spray the area of hair that you are cutting with water. You can section the hair better by using a hair misting spray or water bottle.
5. Make sure to use hair clips, clips, and scrunchies to secure your hair. Then, cut the desired sections. This step is important even though it seems easy and straightforward. To avoid accidentally cutting hair that you don't want, use clippers to separate the sections you need.

Now that you have all the necessary preparations, it is time to get started with the actual cutting. Once you are ready to cut your hair, wash and dry it well.

Next, use your comb and pull small pieces of hair from the front. Keep the same amount of hair on your left and right. 

Then, pull the hair back to where you want the layers to begin. Once you're ready to cut, twist your hair and then cut with scissors. Continue to do so.

Take your time and be conservative in your cuts

Remember that less is always more. When you are cutting, be conservative. You can always cut more, but it is not possible to replace what you have already cut. 

Although trimming your hair at home can seem daunting and a bit expensive, it is possible. You can do it with a set of good hair-trimmers and patience. You might never go to the salon again. 

Often it is better to trim your hair to maintain your current hairstyle

A lot of people at home try to cut a new hairstyle, but this often leads to mistakes and a quick follow-up visit to your hairdresser.

The best solution is to trim your hair, and maintaining your current hairstyle.

Whether you have shoulder-length longer hair, or short hair, its much easier to trim the ends of the hair to shorten the hairstyle.
