Tools You Will Need
Before you begin cutting the front of your hair, you will need a few tools:
- Scissors
- Comb
- Clippers (optional)
- Hair spray (optional)
Preparation
Before you begin cutting your hair, make sure it is clean and dry. Wet hair can be more difficult to cut, and you may end up cutting more than you intended. Comb your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles, and decide on the length you want to cut your hair to.
Sectioning Your Hair
Using a comb, part your hair down the middle, creating two equal sections. Then, using the comb, create a part from the top of one ear to the top of the other ear, dividing your hair into four equal sections. Clip the top sections up and out of the way, leaving the front sections down.
Cutting Your Hair
Using your scissors, start at the side of your head and cut a small amount of hair at a time. Be sure to keep your scissors angled downward to create a natural-looking cut. Use your comb to lift the hair up and away from your head, making it easier to cut.
Be sure to cut both sides equally, and take your time. It's better to cut small amounts of hair at a time rather than cutting too much and having to start over.
Blending Your Hair
Once you have finished cutting the front of your hair, it's time to blend it with the rest of your hair. Unclip the top sections of your hair and use your scissors to blend the front sections with the top sections. Again, take your time and cut small amounts of hair at a time. Use your comb to lift the hair up and away from your head, making it easier to cut.
Cleaning Up
Once you have finished cutting and blending your hair, use your clippers (if you have them) to clean up the back and sides of your head. Be sure to trim any stray hairs and create a clean, even look.
Tips and Tricks
- Start with small amounts of hair and cut slowly to avoid cutting too much.
- Use your comb to lift the hair up and away from your head, making it easier to cut.
- Take your time and be patient.
- If you're not confident in your cutting abilities, consider going to a professional stylist.

Hair Care After Cutting
After cutting your hair, be sure to wash and style it as usual. Use a quality shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair looking healthy and shiny. If you used hair spray during the cutting process, be sure to wash it out thoroughly to avoid buildup.
