How to make a short haircut yourself at home?

Sometimes difficult situations arise when an urgent haircut or painting is required. In such cases, acting on your own is highly discouraged, especially when it comes to a short haircut.

Nevertheless, with a neat approach, it is quite possible to create a short haircut at home. The main thing is to have patience and the necessary tools.

Cutting your hair yourself is very difficult. Especially when it comes to short haircuts.

But if there is no time or money to go to the women's hairdresser's, you can take a chance by trying to make yourself a haircut.

For those girls who decided to cut their hair on their own, you will need the following tools:

• large and small mirrors;
• sharp scissors;
• thinning scissors;
• practical comb with a long handle;
• several long hairdressing clips;
• water spray;
• a special cape or any other protective covering.

Besides the mirrors, it is important to pay attention to the lighting - in the presence of bright light, it becomes much easier to make a successful haircut.

It is not worth spending a large amount on the above tools, since mass-market products are no less reliable and of high quality than professional options.

Before starting work, you should take care of the preparation of your hair. It includes:

• examination of the hair for their condition;
• selection of hairstyles based on face type.

"Cascade" is a haircut that creates smooth steps. The shortest hairs are located at the top of the head, and the rest - over the entire remaining area of ​​the head. You can give your hair good volume by creating short steps, but you should not overdo it, otherwise thinning will be required.

Particular attention should be paid to the type of face.

• For a narrow oval, you will need smoother waves that widen the face.
• In order to slightly lengthen the round face, you need to create thin strands that fit over the cheeks and asymmetrical bangs.
• For a square face, slightly rounded strands and bangs are considered most suitable.
• Women with a flat nape need to create short rungs at the crown.

Another important point is the processing of the temples and bangs. The final result depends on these two parts.

With the temples, the situation is somewhat more complicated, but often the same technique is carried out with them as with the bangs.

Having thought over all the subtleties and details of the future hairstyle, you can safely proceed directly to the haircut. The work must be carried out as carefully and slowly as possible.

Short haircut step by step.

• The first step is to completely wash your hair, and then treat it with conditioner and dry it with a hair dryer. However, it is recommended to leave your hair slightly damp for more comfortable handling. In case of quick drying of curls, you can use a spray bottle.
• Hair on the forehead and temples should be secured with clips. The haircut itself should be started from the crown of the head, since it is in this area that the shortest hair grows.
• The selected strand must be held in the left hand, and the scissors in the right. The direction of the scissors should be strictly from top to bottom.
• You need to cut the hair in small strands, constantly examining the result in the mirror. It is also important that each next strand should be slightly longer than the previous one.
• The resulting layers should be carefully combed to see the symmetry on the curls.
• As soon as the occipital region is completely trimmed, you can safely move on to the temples. They need to be trimmed even more carefully than the back of the head, because the risk of cutting off a large amount of hair is extremely high. It is best to reduce the length in several stages, without rushing.
• After the hair has been shortened to the desired length, it must be trimmed with thinning scissors. It is necessary to hold the tool in the right hand, creating a slight tilt. Then they just need to lightly walk along the ends of the hair. This procedure will help you achieve an easier styling and give your hair a natural look.

Another important part when creating a short hairstyle is styling the bangs. For many girls, this task seems overwhelming and extremely difficult. However, if all the recommendations are followed, this process can be greatly facilitated.

To begin with, all hair should be freed from the installed clips, then slightly moistened and combed. Next, you should decide on the type of future bangs.

To create stunning asymmetrical bangs, comb the hair over the forehead, then select a curl, which is about 4 centimeters wide, and clamp it between the index and middle fingers.

The excess length is cut off and therefore this part of the bang becomes the shortest.

All further strands should be cut in exactly the same way, keeping the same length. Many newbies also forget that Wet hair appears longer than dry hair and is cut too long.

Another good solution for bangs is asymmetrical hair, while styled over the forehead. DTo do this, you need to comb all the hair on your face and carefully cut it from the center to the temples. Near the ears, you need to create a length that is completely identical to the main strands. This design of the bangs looks very interesting and unusual, while emphasizing the eyes and eyebrows.
