Introduction
With the ongoing pandemic, going to the salon for a haircut can be a challenge. However, with a little bit of practice and patience, you can give your family a salon-worthy haircut at home. In this article, we will provide you with some tips and tricks to make the process easier and more successful.
Equipment
Before you start cutting, you need to make sure you have the right equipment. You will need a pair of sharp scissors, hair clippers, a comb, and hair ties. Make sure your scissors are sharp to prevent uneven cuts.
Preparation
Start by washing and drying your family’s hair. Comb through any tangles and make sure the hair is evenly distributed. Use hair ties to section off the hair you will be cutting first.
Technique
When cutting hair, always start with a longer length and work your way down. Use the scissors to cut small sections of hair at a time, and comb through frequently to make sure the cut is even. For buzz cuts, use the hair clippers with the appropriate guard size.
Finishing Touches
Once you have finished cutting, brush off any loose hair and clean up the edges. Use a mirror to make sure the cut is even and tidy. If necessary, go back and make any final adjustments.
