Description
A boy's haircut with scissors is a classic haircut that can be done at home or in a salon. It involves using scissors to cut the hair to a desired length and style. This type of haircut is perfect for boys of all ages and hair types.
How to Give Boy Haircut with Scissors
Step 1: Gather the necessary tools
Before starting, make sure you have all the necessary tools for the haircut. You'll need a pair of sharp scissors, a comb, and hair clips. You may also want to have a spray bottle filled with water to dampen the hair.
Step 2: Decide on the haircut style
Before you start cutting, decide on the style you want to give the boy. Look at pictures online or in magazines for inspiration. You could also consider asking the boy what style he wants.
Step 3: Wash and dry the hair
Before cutting the hair, wash it with shampoo and conditioner. Then, use a towel to dry the hair thoroughly. If the hair is too wet, it will be difficult to cut.
Step 4: Section the hair
Use hair clips to section the hair into manageable sections. Start at the back of the head and work your way forward. This will make it easier to cut each section of hair.
Step 5: Start cutting the hair
Take a small section of hair and comb it straight. Hold the hair between your fingers and use the scissors to cut the hair to the desired length. Make sure to cut the hair evenly and straight.
Step 6: Continue cutting the hair
Work your way around the head, cutting each section of hair to the desired length. Make sure to take your time and cut the hair evenly. If you're unsure about cutting a certain section of hair, leave it longer and come back to it later.
Step 7: Blend the hair
To blend the hair, use the scissors to cut the hair at an angle. This will help to create a more natural look. Work your way around the head, blending the hair as you go.
Step 8: Trim the sides and back
Use the scissors to trim the sides and back of the head. Use the comb to hold the hair in place and cut it to the desired length. Make sure to cut the hair evenly on both sides.
Step 9: Finish the haircut
Once you've finished cutting the hair, use the comb to check for any uneven sections. If you find any, trim them with the scissors. Then, style the hair as desired.
