Get the tools
First and foremost, your main tool will be a pair of sharp hair scissors.
It is a must for an easy clean cut with no split ends. A fine-tooth comb
is essential to smooth out disobedient hair before every snip. And, a hand-held
mirror is useful to check the back of your hair. You’ll also need a few sturdy
hair clasps, bobbles and a water spray for keeping your hair damp while
trimming.
Wet Straight Hair
If you have very straight hair, you’ll need to keep your hair wet so that you
can get each snip perfectly even. However, curly hair can look entirely
different when it’s wet than when it’s dry, so it’s often safer to cut it dry,
in its natural state.
How to Cut Your Own Hair Short
