Description
Learning how to cut girl hair can be intimidating, especially if you've never done it before. But with a little practice and patience, you can master the art of cutting hair. Whether you're trimming split ends or giving your daughter a whole new look, this guide will show you everything you need to know.
How To Cut Girl Hair
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before you start cutting girl hair, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand. You'll need:
- Sharp scissors
- Comb
- Clippers (optional)
- Cape or towel to protect clothing
- Spray bottle filled with water
- Hair ties
- Sectioning clips
Step 2: Wash and Dry the Hair
Before you start cutting, make sure your daughter's hair is clean and dry. Wet hair is harder to cut and can result in uneven lengths. Use the spray bottle to lightly mist the hair if needed.
Step 3: Section the Hair
Divide the hair into sections using the comb and sectioning clips. Start by parting the hair down the middle, then sectioning each side from the top of the head to the ears. Clip the sections out of the way.
Step 4: Start Cutting
Starting with one section at a time, comb the hair straight down and hold it between your fingers. Use the scissors to cut the hair in a straight line, trimming off the desired amount. Repeat this process for each section, making sure to cut evenly on both sides.
Step 5: Blend the Hair
Once you've cut all the sections, use the comb to blend the hair by gently combing through it. Check for any uneven spots and trim as needed.
Step 6: Trim the Bangs (If Desired)
If your daughter has bangs, comb them straight down and trim them to the desired length. Make sure to cut them evenly on both sides.
Step 7: Finish with Clippers (Optional)
If you want a more polished look, use clippers to clean up the hairline around the ears and neck. Use a shorter guard for the back and sides and a longer guard for the top of the head.
Tips
- Start with small cuts – you can always take more off, but you can't put it back on!
- Use sharp scissors to prevent split ends.
- Don't cut wet hair – it will look shorter when it dries.
- Take breaks if your daughter gets antsy or uncomfortable.
