Are you tired of paying a fortune for haircuts or waiting weeks for an appointment? Cutting your own hair can seem daunting, especially if you have wavy or curly hair. However, with the right tools and techniques, you can achieve a beautiful cut from the comfort of your own home. Follow this step-by-step guide on how to cut your own wavy hair at home.
Tools You Will Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools:
- Sharp scissors
- Wide-tooth comb
- Small hair clips
- Handheld mirror
- Spray bottle filled with water
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Wash and Detangle Your Hair
Start by washing your hair and detangling it with a wide-tooth comb. Make sure your hair is completely dry before cutting it.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Section your hair into four parts: top, left side, right side, and back. Use small hair clips to hold each section in place.
Step 3: Start Cutting
Start cutting your hair from the back section. Take a small section of hair and twist it tightly. Cut the ends of the twist with sharp scissors. Repeat this process for each section of hair.
Step 4: Move to the Sides
Once you have finished the back section, move on to the left and right sides. Cut each side in the same way, twisting small sections of hair and cutting the ends.
Step 5: Cut the Top Section
Finally, move on to the top section of your hair. Use the handheld mirror to see the back of your head, and twist small sections of hair to cut the ends.
Step 6: Check for Evenness
Once you have finished cutting your hair, check for evenness. Use the handheld mirror to look at the back of your head and make any necessary adjustments.
Tips
- Start with small cuts and work your way up. You can always cut more, but you can't put hair back once it's cut.
- If you have very curly hair, consider cutting it while it is wet to avoid shrinkage.
- If you want to add layers, twist small sections of hair and cut at an angle.
