If you're looking to change up your hairstyle, cutting shorter bits at the front of your hair can be a great way to get a fresh, modern look. However, it can be intimidating to try to cut your own hair, especially if you're not a professional stylist. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to cut shorter bits at the front of your hair, step-by-step.
Description
Cutting shorter bits at the front of your hair is a simple and easy way to add some dimension and interest to your hairstyle. By cutting the hair shorter around your face, you can create a flattering frame that highlights your features and adds some edge to your look.
How to
Step 1: Gather your tools
Before you start cutting your hair, you'll need to gather some basic tools. You'll need a sharp pair of hair cutting scissors, a comb or brush, and some hair clips or elastics to section off your hair.
Step 2: Section off your hair
To begin, you'll want to section off the hair at the front of your head. Use your comb or brush to create a diagonal part from the top of your ear to the center of your forehead. Clip the hair above the part out of the way.
Step 3: Decide on the length
Once you've sectioned off your hair, decide on the length you want to cut. Keep in mind that it's always better to start with a longer length and work your way shorter if needed.
Step 4: Start cutting
Using your scissors, start cutting the hair in small sections. Hold the hair between your fingers and use a point cutting technique to create a soft, textured look. Remember to keep checking the length as you go and make sure both sides are even.
Step 5: Blend the hair
Once you've cut the hair to the desired length, you'll want to blend it in with the rest of your hair. Use your scissors to feather and texture the hair, so it seamlessly blends in with the rest of your style.
