Q&A for How to Cut Your Own Hair

Take small sections at a time and chop off as much as you want. Then, slowly cut the other hairs section by section to get a perfect cut.

Trim the back as it grows. Let the bangs catch up to the back. Should look like short bob in 3 - 4 months.

Don't be scared. Bring a picture of what you want to the hair salon. Ask a friend to come with you if you think that might help. Remember that haircuts are always temporary, even if you're not thrilled with it, it will grow out pretty quickly.

You can bring a reference picture for the hairdresser so it's easier for them to see what you want. If they leave it too long you can always ask for them to trim it a little shorter.

Either see a hairdresser or wear a hat while you grow it out.

Just take the guard off of the razor. That will ensure that they are as short as possible.

If it's your first time, I would recommend keeping it very simple. Don't attempt very hard haircuts, and most important follow every single step above. Also, you can begin with just trimming your hair before giving it a really hard cut or short cut (depending on the length you want it).

Wash and dry your hair, and then part it where you normally have your part. You may want to do that before drying your hair though. Then divide your hair into three equal sections, two on the sides, and one in the back. Cut the back section however long you’d like, then use a hair razor for the sides. You can then add layers and blend.

Try placing a few mirrors around you, this way you can see the back of your head. Before you fo anything major, try just trimming from the back until you get used to it.
