How to Cut Spiky Hair with Clippers
If you're ready to give yourself a spiky haircut, here's what you'll need:
- Clippers with various guard sizes
- Scissors
- Comb
- Clip or hair tie
- Mirror
Once you have all your tools handy, follow these steps:
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hair
Before you start cutting, make sure your hair is clean and dry. This will help you see the natural texture and shape of your hair and prevent any tugging or pulling during the cutting process.
Step 2: Decide on the Length of Your Spikes
Using your clippers, decide on the length of your spikes. Start with a longer guard size and work your way down until you find the right length for your hair. Remember, you can always go shorter, but you can't go longer once you've cut your hair.
Step 3: Cut the Sides and Back of Your Hair
Using the clippers, cut the sides and back of your hair to the desired length. Start from the bottom and work your way up, using a higher guard size for the sides and a lower guard size for the back. Use your comb to guide the clippers and create a uniform length.
Step 4: Cut the Top of Your Hair
Now it's time to tackle the top of your hair. Use your scissors to cut the hair on top to the desired length. Remember to leave some length at the front to create the spikes. You can also create layers on top to add volume and texture to your hair.
Step 5: Style Your Hair
Once you've cut your hair, it's time to style it. Use a hair gel or wax to create the spikes. Apply the product to your fingertips and work it into your hair, starting from the front and working your way back. Use your fingertips to create the spikes and add texture to your hair. You can also use a blow dryer to set the style.
