Once you have your tools ready, follow these steps:
Step 1: Wash and Dry the Hair
Before you can start cutting the hair, you need to wash and dry it. This will help you see the natural texture of the hair and make it easier to cut. Use a towel to dry the hair, or use a blow dryer if the hair is long and thick.
Step 2: Section the Hair
Using a comb, section the hair into four parts: the top, the sides, and the back. Use clips to secure each section of the hair.
Step 3: Cut the Sides
Starting with the sides, use a clipper to trim the hair to the desired length. Use scissors to trim any stray hairs or to shape the hair around the ears.
Step 4: Cut the Back
Trim the hair in the back using scissors. Start at the nape of the neck and work your way up, using the comb to guide the hair as you go. Use scissors to trim any stray hairs or to shape the hair around the neckline.
Step 5: Cut the Top
Starting at the front of the head, use scissors to trim the hair on top to the desired length. Use the comb to guide the hair as you go. Be sure to cut the hair evenly on both sides of the head.
Step 6: Blend the Hair
Use scissors to blend the hair on the sides and the back with the hair on top. This will create a seamless transition between the different sections of the hair.
Step 7: Check for Unevenness
Check the hair for any unevenness. Use scissors to trim any stray hairs or to shape the hair around the ears and neckline.
Step 8: Finish the Haircut
Use a clipper to trim any hair around the ears and neckline. Remove the haircut cape and use a blow dryer to style the hair as desired.
Tips
- Start with longer hair and gradually cut more to avoid cutting too much at once.
- Use the comb to guide the hair as you cut to ensure evenness.
