How to Cut Short Wavy Men's Hair
Step 1: Gather the Necessary Tools
Before you start cutting your hair, make sure you have all the necessary tools. You will need a pair of hair clippers, scissors, a comb, and a spray bottle filled with water. If you don't have hair clippers, you can use scissors to trim your hair, but it will take longer.
Step 2: Wash Your Hair
Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner to get rid of any dirt and oil. Towel dry your hair and comb it to remove any tangles.
Step 3: Choose the Right Clipper Guard
If you're using hair clippers, choose the right clipper guard. The guard you choose will determine how short your hair will be. For short wavy hair, a #3 or #4 guard is ideal. If you want a shorter cut, use a #2 guard, but be careful not to cut your hair too short.
Step 4: Start Cutting
Start cutting your hair from the back of your head, using the clippers or scissors. Work your way up to the crown of your head, following the natural curve of your head. Be sure to cut in small sections and use the comb to guide the clippers or scissors.
Step 5: Cut the Sides and Top
Next, cut the sides and top of your hair. Use the same technique as before, cutting in small sections and following the natural curve of your head. Use the comb to guide the clippers or scissors.
Step 6: Blend the Edges
Once you've finished cutting your hair, use the scissors to blend the edges. This will give your hair a more natural look and prevent any harsh lines.
Step 7: Check for Any Uneven Spots
Check your hair for any uneven spots and trim them with scissors. Be sure to check the back of your head, as it's easy to miss spots there.
Step 8: Clean Up
Clean up any hair clippings on your clothes and the floor. Take a shower to remove any remaining hair clippings.
Tips
- Start with a longer guard and work your way down if you want a shorter cut.
- Don't cut your hair too short, as it will be difficult to fix any mistakes.
- Use the scissors to cut any stray hairs that the clippers missed.
- Cut your hair in a well-lit area so you can see what you're doing.

Hair Care
