How to Trim a Man's Hair with Scissors
Before you start trimming your hair, make sure you have the following tools:
- Sharp scissors
- Comb
- Clipper (optional)
- Haircutting cape or towel
- Small mirror
Once you have gathered your tools, follow these steps:
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hair
Start by washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner to remove any dirt or oil. Dry your hair with a towel or blow dryer until it is completely dry.
Step 2: Comb Your Hair
Use a comb to detangle your hair and remove any knots or tangles. Make sure your hair is completely smooth and free of tangles before you start trimming.
Step 3: Decide on the Length
Decide on the length you want to cut your hair. You can use a clipper to cut your hair to a shorter length or use scissors to trim your hair to a longer length.
Step 4: Start Trimming
Hold a small section of hair between your fingers and cut it to the desired length. Use the first cut as a guide for the rest of your hair, cutting small sections at a time until you have trimmed all of your hair.
Step 5: Check Your Work
Use a small mirror to check the back and sides of your hair to make sure you have trimmed it evenly. If you notice any uneven spots, use scissors to even them out.
Step 6: Clean Up
Clean up any stray hairs around your neck and ears with a trimmer or scissors. Use a towel or brush to remove any loose hairs from your clothes and skin.
