Cutting hair yourself - it works like the hairdresser

Sometimes it lacks the bare essentials: no free space in your own diary. Or in the hairdresser's. Or the monthly budget is exhausted. But what can we do if the cut is completely out of shape and the hair just does not lie? Even the woman is, then the motto. With our tricks works like the pro!

Even cut hair? that is feasible!

Of course we can not cut completely new hairstyles as good as a barber ourselves. If you want to cut a pixie out of a long-haired man, you should make an appointment with the hairdresser in your own interest. But cutting laces, cutting steps, and trimming pony are among our easiest exercises from now on.

Important: Get a good pair of scissors!

Unfortunately this will not work with the craft scissors. A good hair trimmer is a prerequisite for a clean cut. The best are smooth polished professional shears with honing. A fine-toothed comb and a water sprayer (otherwise used for indoor plants) are helpful.

Cut broken tips

This is how you get rid of split ends: Divide a two-centimeter-thick piece of hair and screw in your hair tightly. Then cut off the protruding hair ends with scissors. We'll show you how it looks in the video tutorial 'Cutting Split'. For the back of the head you probably need a little help.

Cut pony

The best way to cut your pony dry, because otherwise there is a risk that he quickly? when he gets wet? is too short, because so short hair pull up rather unpredictable.
Stand with scissors and feinzinkigem comb in front of the mirror? pay attention to adequate lighting.
Then comb the pony down, but so that the hair is loose on the forehead? not flattened, because that also distorts the actual case length.
For cutting then hold the hair loose (!) Between forefinger and middle finger slightly away from the forehead.
Cut the scissors into the pony at a slight angle from below, only a few millimeters at a time - like tiny pointed teeth. Carefully proceed millimeter by millimeter? and in between every now and then look in the mirror.
If you want to cut a round pony you should first set the point where the pony gets longer towards the sides. Then set ever lower to the millimeter.

Cut off the length

Doing this all on your own will be difficult as we find the hair on the back of the head just a bit hard to come by. Who can get help from friend or girlfriend should accept. It will be easier if you cut your hair when wet, but then you should calculate that the hair is still dry when it is dry? depending on the hair structure? pull up a bit. For wavy hair and curls that is even one to three inches!

That's how it's done:

As usual, after washing or moisten the crown, then comb with a fine-toothed comb once completely comb through the hair.
On one side in front begin to divide a strand in the width of about one to two centimeters.
Smooth the comb again with the comb and then take the strand between the index and middle fingers and place the scissors under it. Now it becomes clear how important a good pair of scissors is. Carefully unscrew millimeter by millimeter. If you just cut off in one piece, you risk corners.
Continue like this by the wayside. Finally, the right-left comparison comes: To do this, pull the two front strands right and left of the face with your fingers down smoothly. Are they both the same length? Congratulation. Otherwise you have to cut something else.
