It is very important for a home haircut to prepare clean mirrors. It is desirable that there are two of them. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of your own hair. For example, long strands can be cut evenly, especially if they are smooth and shiny.
If they curl, then it is allowed to trim them not in a straight line, but leaning on a semicircle.

If a fashionista is determined to grow her hair, this does not mean that she will no longer need a haircut.This procedure will need to be carried out without fail at least once every 2-2.5 months. You will need to carefully cut off the diseased and split ends (no more than a few millimeters). Due to this, stratification of curls will be prevented and their health will be preserved.

Advantages and disadvantages
Like any other procedure (both salon and home), cutting your own hair has its pros and cons. If you decide to cut your own hair, then you should familiarize yourself with those and others. First, we will find out what the advantages of a home procedure are.
- The main plus here lies in the tangible saving of free time, which today many girls and women simply do not have enough. Here you will not have to choose the day and hour to go to the master in the salon. You can have a haircut at home at any time convenient for you.
- Do-it-yourself haircut allows you to significantly save money. This procedure will not hit your wallet, which cannot be said about going to a good salon to experienced hairdressers.
- Cutting your hair with your own hands at home, you can not be afraid for the length of the curls. Very often, masters cut a little more hair than the client herself needs. At home, a lady may well stop at exactly the length that she likes more and seems aesthetically pleasing.
- A haircut at home is a great opportunity to change your image and image without leaving your home.
- You can also give your hairstyle absolutely any shape. It all depends on your own wishes and taste preferences.
- If you get your hair cut more often at home, your eye will inevitably become more accurate. After a while, it will be much easier to determine the optimal length.
- Such procedures carried out at home are a great way to learn how to cut with your own hands not only yourself, but also your friends and loved ones (for example, as often happens, mother and grandmother). Many girls are very interested in this lesson, after which they go to professional hairdressing courses.
- For a haircut, you can use any technique that seems most comfortable to you.

Trimming your hair with your own hands, as you can see, is an excellent solution, especially if you are by nature a neat, patient and unhurried person. However, it must be borne in mind that this procedure also has its weaknesses.
- If you want to give your head a really nice and neat look, then you will have to stock up on a number of high quality professional tools. Without them, the result can be disappointing.
- If you did not immediately notice that the scissors with which you cut your hair have become dull, then you should expect that your hair will be seriously cut.
- Responsibility for the result in this case lies solely with you. Unfortunately, not all fashionistas have a beautiful and correct haircut the first time, so here you need to be ready for anything.
- In addition to the necessary tools, the home craftsman must have two mirrors in his arsenal. Without them, it will be almost impossible to carry out work on your head.
- By itself, this procedure is not the most "clean", because at the end of its completion there will be a lot of cut hairs on the floor. They will need to be removed immediately after the end of the haircut.
- Cutting short hair with your own hands is very inconvenient, and it is much more difficult to achieve a good result here. If the question arises about short hair, then it is better to visit an experienced master.

What do you need?
If you decide to cut your hairstyle yourself, then you should first stock up on all the necessary tools and devices. Let's take a closer look at what exactly you need.
- The main tool without which a haircut will be impossible is scissors. It must be remembered that with a device with blunt blades, you can seriously damage the structure of the strands. As a result, the shape of the curls will be torn and sloppy. Experts advise choosing good and high quality scissors in professional retail outlets. It is advisable to buy options with blades 6-10 cm long.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-8.jpg)
- You will definitely need to prepare a large and clean mirror. In it, you should freely see not only your own face, but also the back of the head. You can prepare two mirrors - this will be much more convenient to work. Most ladies use just a pair of mirrors.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-9.jpg)
- You need to take care of high-quality lighting. The space where you plan to trim your hair should not be too dark. An excessively bright light will not become an assistant either - it will only blind the eyes.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy.jpeg)
- You will need a comfortable table and quality styling products. In addition, you need to make sure that nothing fetters your hands. If the room in which you plan to cut your hair is too densely packed with furniture and other things, then it is better to move them aside in advance.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-10.jpg)
- You need to decide in advance what exactly you plan to do with your head. With the scissors in hand, you must follow a strict plan. You should not improvise and experiment if you do not want to ruin your hairstyle.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-11.jpg)
- You will need to take into account the peculiarities of your own shock. Based on the structure, condition and type of hair, it will be possible to choose the optimal cutting technique.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-12.jpg)
- Before starting a direct do-it-yourself haircut, hair will definitely need to be thoroughly washed. You do not need to dry them - the strands should be wet.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-13.jpg)
You cannot do with self-haircutting without the following necessary details, which greatly simplify this procedure.
- Hairpins. It is advisable to prepare at once about 5 hairpins of different sizes. Small options are ideal for securing fine hairs, medium ones for slightly thicker strands, and large ones for clips.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-15.jpg)
- Rubber bands. You can not do with your own haircut and without rubber bands. The simplest options can be used. The main thing is that they are not old and stretched, since there will be little use from them.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-24.jpg)

Hair preparation
Before starting a haircut, it is not enough to prepare only all the necessary tools.
It is very important to competently prepare the curls themselves, regardless of their length, structure and splendor. The main thing that needs to be done before starting a haircut is to wash your hair.
Working with completely clean, but still damp strands is much easier, and the result is usually not surprising or disappointing.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-31.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-32.jpg)
Before starting the procedure you should choose exactly the option that is ideal for the girl based on her type and structure of the face... For example, almost any solution is suitable for owners of an oval face. If the lady has a slightly elongated face and a high forehead, then it is better to give preference to attractive and youthful options with bangs.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-33.jpg)
If by nature the young lady has a square face, then you can resort to the formation of playful curls and the creation of thin bangs. Thanks to these elements, facial features can become smoother and more delicate.
Straight and perfectly straight bangs are unlikely to work here - it will make the image rougher.

Step by step instructions
A haircut for hair of different lengths can be done by yourself and at home. It is important to prepare in advance all the necessary tools, clean mirrors. Most often at home, young ladies undertake to trim bangs or hair ends. These procedures are fairly simple and do not take much time.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-36.jpg)
Let's look at how you can trim the ends of your hair.
- Wash your hair, and then dry your hair slightly, not with a hairdryer, but with a dry towel. Some ladies prefer to spray curls with a spray gun before starting a haircut. Next, the strands will need to be thoroughly combed.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-42.jpg)
- Next, you need to select the strands from the parietal part of the head. The remaining mop will need to be carefully secured using hairpins or clips.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-38.jpg)
- Further, using a fine comb, you will need to select one lock from the selected hair. The remaining curls must be moved to the face.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-39.jpg)
- Cut your hair just above the split ends. In this case, the strands should be held between the index and middle fingers. If you carefully trim your hair at least once a month, then you can cut no more than 1-2 centimeters.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-40.jpg)
- Next, you will need to move along the entire length in the direction from right to left, or vice versa. The length of the remaining curls will converge with the length of the first cut strand. That is why it is so important to grab some of the already trimmed hair, coupled with the next long strand.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/02/kak-samoj-podstrich-volosy-41.jpg)
After completing this procedure, the mop will need to be dried to the end. Now you can use a hair dryer, not just a dry towel.
If, after drying, you notice that the haircut has flaws and errors, then the already dry strands will need to be trimmed.

Very often there are no problems with the length and shape of the hairstyle itself, but the bangs need to be cut. In such a situation, you need to act like this.
- First of all, you will need to thoroughly rinse off all cosmetics from the hair, if they were applied earlier.
- Then the curls must be dried. If you cut wet bangs, then you can accidentally remove the excess length, since the strands in all cases rise as soon as they dry.
- Now you can separate the bangs neatly. It is advisable to collect the remaining head of hair in a ponytail and tighten with an elastic band or a hair clip so that nothing interferes with further cutting.
- You can make the bangs a little shorter by starting the haircut on the right or left side. To get the desired result, you will need to separate strand by strand, and then cut them off, holding sharp scissors at an angle of 45 degrees.
- If the hair is naturally naughty and curly, it is imperative to leave an extra couple of centimeters while cutting the bangs - later they will curl into curls.

- Further, they will need to be divided into separate zones. Secure them after that using the clamps.
- In the area of \ u200b \ u200bthe crown, select one strand, in accordance with which the entire planned haircut will be equal. This half will need to be pulled exclusively upward, and then remove the excess length.
- Treat the strands at the back of your head. Be sure to divide your hair horizontally into partings. Please note that each layer between the partings must be of equal width (only a few centimeters).
- When approaching the first strand, cut the length so that the top of the cut is slightly shorter than the bottom. You need to move from bottom to top.
- Now you can proceed to processing the parietal part of the head, and with it to the temporal part. Here you need to act in the same way as in the back of the head. Each top layer should be shorter in length than the previous one.

Many young ladies love and know how to make beautiful model haircuts at home. So, one of the most popular and desired options is a feminine hairstyle under a square. Let's consider in stages how it can be formed with your own hands.
- First, you will need to prepare 4 brand new gum.
- Now you need to wash your hair, and then comb it gently. You should not dry your head with a hairdryer. When combing, special attention should be paid to the tips.
- Now part all hair with a parting - straight or side. To make it as even and neat as possible, it will be most convenient to use another mirror or call someone for help.
- Tighten a pair of ponytails at the bottom. If you place them in the middle, then the haircut will end up being smoother. If you make them closer to the back of the head (that is, behind the ears), then you get an interesting square with lengthening in front. Often, girls make ponytails a little closer to the face, in order to get an elongated square at the back as a result. If you plan to make an elongated version of a fashionable and popular haircut, then you will need to slightly tighten the front strands so that they fall off.
- On one prepared tail, you will need to tighten the second elastic band on the line just below the first. It is this level that will coincide with the level of the haircut.
- If there is any doubt about the chosen length, then it is advisable to tighten the hair a little lower. The same steps will need to be repeated on the other ponytail.
- Now you need to check the symmetry of the arrangement of the prepared tails and tightened elastic bands.
- Cut your hair under the elastic below. To cut off the strands more conveniently, step back about 1 cm from the elastic.
- Next, the cut will need to be carefully trimmed, and then completely remove the rubber bands.
- Trim your hair. The easiest way to do this is by starting to move from the face towards the back of the head. Be sure to parse your hair into small strands, picking up part of the strand already aligned before this. She will need to be leveled.
- To neatly trim the strands located below, you will need to separate the top layer of curls and secure them using a hair clip or elastic.
- Then comb the bottom half of the hair again. Make sure the resulting haircut is symmetrical. This can be done by connecting the outermost lower strands on the sides at the crown.
- Now we need to part the hair, moving from the face to the back of the head. Highlight small strands and trim them gently.
- Unfasten the previously pinned hair. Then be sure to comb your hair, check the quality and condition of the haircut.
- If there are certain deficiencies, deficiencies or defects, thinning scissors can be used. The thinning effect can also be achieved with classic scissors. To do this, the tool will need to be set almost parallel to the hair, and then make small cuts along its entire length.

Hairdresser tips
If you decide to cut your hair with your own hands, then you should keep in stock some important tips and tricks from experienced hairdressers.
- Don't rush to buy scissors. At first, it is recommended to hold them in your hands a little. They should be comfortable. If the instrument is pinching your fingers, then it is better to look for another option instead.
- If this is the first time you are going to have a haircut at home, then it is not recommended to immediately try to do a short hair length. If you suddenly make even the slightest mistake, it will be impossible to correct it at such a length.
- It is advisable to use certain techniques of professional masters working in hairdressing salons.
- Thick, curly and excessively coarse hair is always much more difficult to cut, especially if there is no proper level of professionalism. That is why you need to make a decision on an independent haircut carefully, taking into account all the features of the hairstyle.
- If you want to cut your hair just to get rid of the "sore" split ends, then you need to remember that you need to cut them off at a level just above the already damaged areas (usually not higher than 5 mm.).
- If you want to get a soft and discreet cut of the strands, then the scissor blades will need to be kept almost parallel to the hair, but not perpendicular. If you follow this method, the ends will be fluffier.
- Do not rush to start the practice of home haircuts with complex and intricate hairstyles. It is better at first to choose simpler options.
- If this is your first time cutting a hair like this, then it is not recommended to cut too bulky strands at one time. If this rule is not followed, the cuts will be less accurate and uneven.
- Be sure to check the final result after completely drying your hair. If you suddenly notice any shortcomings and shortcomings, then they will need to be eliminated immediately, but not dried strands.
- Use only high-quality and safe tools throughout the entire haircut.
They must be reliable and sturdy, as well as sharp-edged.
