Are you tired of going to a professional stylist and asking for a trim but getting more of cut instead? It can get frustrating especially if your trying to grow your hair out long. If you would like to learn how to self trim your hair, we have easy and step by step guide that can help you do that. Make sure you have a reliable pair of hair cutting scissors. This is important.
Self Trimming Your Hair Yourself Straight Across:
1) Comb your hair out as straight as possible making sure to remove all tangles, curls and waves.
2) Put your hair in a tight ponytail, sliding your scrunchy or rubber band (which ever you choose to use) all the way down your ponytail to your desired point of trim. If you chose to trim of an inch, then put your rubberband an inch away from the bottom of the ends of your hair.
3) Now get a partner to cut directly across at the point of the rubber band to achieve the straight across trim.
Another way of doing this is to part your hair and even it out in front of you and hold your hair straight forward. Use your fingers to guide wear you are to trim and simply match up the to sides. If you chose to trim off 1/4th off your hair, then guide your fingers to that measurement towards your ends and cut from there.
Self Trimming Your Hair Yourself in a V shape:
1) Comb out all tangles, curls and waves in your hair
2) For a slight V look straight forward. For a medium V, tilt your hair upwards like you are looking up at the sun, for a deep profound V look towards the floor.
3)Focusing on one side of the hair, grab the ends of your hair on the side you choose to start on ( the left or the right), with your index and middle finger and hold the scissors with your other hand while still looking in your desired position.
4)Making sure you have a firm hold on the hair. Be careful not to let your hair slip between your fingers. Bring your ends up to your view and cut. Do this to the other side and comb out for your results. Keep experimenting with little amounts of hair cuts to get your desired V look.
Self Trimming Your Hair Yourself in a U shape:
1) Comb out hair to remove all tangles, waves and curls.
2) Part your hair bringing both sides to the front
3) Comb your hair till it is completely straight and lying down in the right direction.
4) Tilt your hair straight back back a far as possible and make sure hair is combed till completely straight.
5)Focusing on one side at a time, take the side you choose to work on first and grab the hair with your index and middle fingers while the scissors are in the other hand.
6) When you have a good firm grip on your hair, you can look down. Make sure you grip is firm so there are no hairs moving or shifting when you look down.
7) Then bring your ends up to your sight and cut of the amount desired.
Do the same thing with the other side and make sure hair is as even as possible.
