You don't have to go to a hairdresser to create an original haircut. Some fashionistas are accustomed to cutting their hair at home and have learned how to hold the scissors correctly in order to achieve the desired result.
Short hair
It is more convenient to trim the hair and tidy up the head when the girl has a short haircut. To get it right, you need scissors and a fine comb. This method is especially suitable for those who have longer curls on top, and removed as much as possible from below. It is best if done with an understanding assistant.
The whole process can be divided into several stages.
- First you need to wash your hair or spray it with a spray bottle. In any case, they should be damp before clipping.
- After that, you need to take a comb and divide the curls into three sections. They move to one side, separating the long curls in the upper part of the head from the shorter ones on the sides behind the ears and at the back of the head.
- Using the index and middle fingers of the hand free from scissors, you need to select a section of hair from above, lift it straight up to see the ends. Then, holding tightly the captured section of hair, cut the required length with scissors to form a straight line. You need to keep the scissors absolutely straight to get a clean cut.
- At the next stage, they take a curl next to the one that has already been cut off, and they slightly capture part of the hair of the previous one (this will make it easier to align the entire haircut along the same length).
- When you're done with the top, it's time to move to the sides, where the hair tends to be shorter. Here again you need to set the baseline, and then cut off the jagged edges, creating the desired length of hair.You should be very careful, as there is almost no room for error.
It also happens that the woman below has short hair, the length of which is no more than five millimeters with a gradual increase in volume.
In this case, making a haircut at home is even easier. You should start from the temples, simply moving up and applying a comb to the head under the curls. At the same time, everything that is outside the teeth is gradually cut off.

How to hold the scissors correctly?
Often girls cannot understand why some manage to master their own haircuts, while others do not. Sometimes the whole point is that the latter do not hold the scissors correctly, so it is inconvenient to work with them and the cut does not turn out the way you want.
This hairdressing tool is taken in the right hand, but instead of the middle, the ring finger is inserted into the ring. The hand needs to be slightly relaxed, do not strain it too much. From the outside it should seem as if they are ready to fall at any moment. The fingers should be slightly protruded from the rings.
Hold the tool perpendicularly in front of you with the blades facing forward. Now the fingers are slightly weakened, the thumb pad at this moment should rest against the ring, this is the most working area during the haircut.
The comb at this time should lie in the same hand, its teeth rest against the palm. A professional hairdresser also knows how to hold a spray bottle, and sometimes even clamps, but this requires a long time to gain experience.
