Cutting your own hair? This is how you do it!

2. Make sure your hair is damp

Dry hair is much more difficult to cut than wet hair. The risk of your hair ending up lopsided is much bigger if your hair is dry when you cut it. It’s best to wash your hair right before the moment you want to cut it and to then make sure it’s towel-dry. Don’t feel like washing your hair first? Then you can use a spray bottle (just like the hairdresser) to dampen your hair. Keep spraying while you’re cutting so you ensure your hair remains damp throughout the process.

3. Don’t try to be too experimental

Trimming a centimetre from your fringe because it’s getting in your eyes is one thing, but trying to transform your long locks into a short bob is an entirely different ball game. A new hairstyle can be difficult to get right and you should know your limits in this case. If you don’t have much (or any) experience in hairdressing, we recommend sticking to the basics. Just trimming the ends seems like the way to go in this case.

4. Hold your locks straight up

Have you ever observed your hairdresser’s technique when they’re cutting your hair? Then you might have noticed that they keep your hair straight up in the air when they cut it. They do this to ensure a breezy result. It’s very easy to do this yourself as well. Pick up a lock of hair between your index finger and your middle finger and hold it up when you trim it.
