Each month it's estimated that people spend about $20.00 to $100.00 on hair cuts. That's about $240.00 -$1,200.00 just on hair cuts! You can save that if you learn how to manage your hair at home.
First thing I suggest is if you are looking for a different style, then you should let a professional cut your hair. But if you are happy with your current style and just need a trim, you can easily do it at home.
Things you need to trim your own hair:
- Sharp shears or scissors
- Water bottle
- Large mirror
- Hand mirror
- Hair clips
Always start your cut with clean damp hair. Having products in your hair such as gel or hairspray will make it difficult to get a good cut and it can be quite messy.
Always begin your cut with damp hair. If it's drenched, it will be difficult to cut properly. If it's completely dry, it is hard to handle. So just damp is perfect for trimming. Having sharp scissors will also improve your cut. Dull ones will just saw into your hair, giving it an uneven cut.
Always remember that hair shrinks once it's dry, so always trim less than what you need, this is especially true on bangs.
It's best to begin with sectioning off your hair with clips. Dampen your hair by spraying each section with the water bottle. Take your time and take small snips. After each section, always make sure you check the mirror, front and back.
When you're done, style your hair to check for missed strands.
With a little practice and lots of patience, you can trim your own hair in-between hair styles.
