How to Do Your Own Haircut

Many people have times in their lives when they want to experiment with giving themselves a haircut. This can be done with some good utensils and some patience, along with a little bit of skill. It is not impossible to give yourself a haircut, and if you are one of the many that want to do a self haircut, follow the following steps.

Before you do anything else when you are giving yourself a haircut, you will need to gather some tools to have near you for use. You will need a big mirror (not a compact mirror or a toy mirror), a decent sized hand held mirror to see the backside of your haircut, a sharp pair of haircutting scissors, and hair clippers and/or an electric razor.

To begin your haircut, first wash your hair, and then use a towel to dry it enough so that it does not drip. When your hair is washed and towel dried, the next step in a haircut is to brush your hair and part it down the middle. Since the look for a haircut today is a little messed and free flowing, dont worry if the part is not perfectly exact. Next in the haircut, bring each half forward so that it comes over your shoulder. Brush your hair so that it will fall straight down on either side of your head.

Next for your haircut, decide where it is that you want to cut. Define the point of cutting in terms of a landmark. Just keep in mind during your haircut that once you have cut one side it will look shorter as it dries, so do NOT use one side as a guide to cut the other side! If the haircut you are going for is a long bob in which the hair just brushes the shoulder, cut directly in front of each shoulder blade.
The next step that you will take to get your haircut is to grab one half of your hair so that the top of your fist is just below the cutting point, and you will pull slightly. Using your sharp haircut scissors, cut the hair at the length that you have decided on. Hair does slip a lot while you are cutting it, but do not stop! This is important. Next, do the exact same thing to the other side.

To finish your haircut, brush your hair forward, and look your whole head over. Use the big mirror and the handheld mirror to see your haircut from all angles. Decide what you need to cut to even things out and trim it all up. If you need to do some trimming, this can be done with the electric hair clippers or an electric razor. Just remember as you are doing your haircut to take your time, and that the hair will be shorter when it dries!
