Tools You'll Need
Before you get started, you'll need to gather a few tools:
- Sharp scissors
- Comb
- Clippers (optional)
- Hair ties or clips
- Mirror (preferably one with magnification)
- Towel or cape to catch hair clippings
Once you have these tools, you're ready to start trimming your own hair.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Hair
Start by washing and drying your hair as you normally would. This will make it easier to see where you need to trim.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Using your comb, section off your hair into four parts: two in the front and two in the back. Use hair ties or clips to keep each section separate.
Step 3: Start Trimming
Find a YouTube tutorial that matches the style you're going for. Follow along with the tutorial, using your scissors to trim your hair. If you want to use clippers, make sure you have the right guard attached.
Step 4: Check Your Progress
After you've finished trimming one section, use your mirror to check your progress. Make sure the length is even and adjust as needed. Once you're satisfied with one section, move on to the next.
Step 5: Blend Your Layers
If you have layers, use your scissors to blend them together. This will give your hair a more natural look.
Step 6: Trim Your Bangs
If you have bangs, trim them separately. Use your comb to separate them from the rest of your hair, and follow a YouTube tutorial to trim them to your desired length.
Step 7: Finish Up
Once you've finished trimming all sections of your hair, use your comb to ensure everything is even. Then, style your hair as you normally would.
