Description
Before we dive into the steps, let's talk about what you'll need. You'll need a pair of sharp hair cutting scissors, a comb, a spray bottle filled with water, and a mirror. It's also helpful to have a second mirror or a friend to assist you.
When cutting your own hair, it's important to start with clean, dry hair. This will help you see the natural shape of your hair and prevent any surprises once it's dry. If you have curly hair, you may want to straighten it first to make it easier to cut.
How to Cut Your Own Hair Short Style
Step 1: Start with the Sides
Begin by sectioning off the sides of your hair. Use your comb to create a straight line from the back of your ear to the nape of your neck. Pin the top section of your hair up and out of the way.
Using your scissors, cut the bottom section of your hair straight across. Take your time and make sure both sides are even. Once you're satisfied, release the top section of your hair and repeat on the other side.
Step 2: Move to the Back
Next, it's time to tackle the back of your head. Use your comb to create a straight line down the center of your head, from the crown to the nape of your neck. Pin one side up and out of the way.
Using your scissors, cut the bottom section of hair in a straight line, following the shape of your head. Take small sections at a time and work your way up. Once you've finished one side, repeat on the other.
Step 3: Trim the Top
Finally, it's time to trim the top of your hair. Use your comb to create a straight line from the front of your hairline to the crown of your head. Take small sections at a time and cut in a straight line, following the natural shape of your head.
Once you've finished trimming the top, use your scissors to blend the sides and top together. Take small sections and cut at a slight angle to create a seamless transition.
Tips for a Successful Haircut
- Take your time and don't rush the process.
- Use sharp scissors to prevent split ends and uneven cuts.
- Start with small sections and work your way up to larger ones.
- Use your fingers to feel for any uneven spots and trim as needed.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help if needed.
