Towards an independent trimming hair ends resorted to for various reasons. Most often this happens due to financial considerations, since prices for hairdressing services increase every year. Every woman wants to look well-groomed, and therefore, feel confident.

Ways to trim your hair ends yourself

How to trim the ends of your hair correctly and not harm them is given below. To do this, you need to use very sharp (and ideally professional) scissors and a hair clipper. Good cutting tools can help you avoid splitting and splitting hair ends.

You can remove overgrown ends on both dry and damp hair. If the hair is curly, then before the procedure, it will, without fail, need to be pulled out with a hair dryer or iron. You should also comb your hair thoroughly along its entire length.

For those who decide to do their own haircut for the first time, you should not remove more than 1.5-2 cm so that there is enough length to correct an unsuccessful cut.

The classic way

This method of trimming the ends of the hair is very simple to perform:

1. Well-combed hair dampens a little.
2. Separate the bottom layer with a horizontal parting (from ear to ear).
3. The remaining hair is fixed at the crown so that it does not interfere with the cutting process.
4. Next, a strand is highlighted for the first cut. Better to take from the back of the head. So, strand by strand, you need to fit the entire layer.
5. At the end, the next layer of hair is separated and equalized by analogy. The action continues until the very last layer.

Low tail

This technique works for both fine and thick hair:

1. At the base of the back of the head, the lowest possible smooth ponytail is made.
2. The resulting tail must be intercepted with several elastic bands (3-4 are enough for an average length). The last attachment should be above the place where you plan to make a cut.
3. After the ends of the hair have been cut off under the last elastic, the hair must be loosened and combed. The hair on the sides will now be longer than in the back.
4. To align them, you need to divide into 2 strands, throwing them forward onto the shoulders.
5. Keeping your head straight, you need to stretch out a strand from one side, holding it between your fingers. The shortest strands will be the guide for the control cut.

The same manipulations need to be done with the second half of the hair.
Thanks to this method, the hair falls in a soft semicircle on the back. It is not recommended to wet fine hair before cutting.

Head down

This method is suitable only for owners of thick and long hair, as the result is a rather radical cascade. It is impossible to predict in advance what the result will be on hair below average length, taking into account the individual characteristics of the face oval.

Trim the ends of the hair using this method in the following sequence:

1. Bend your head down.
2. Comb your hair thoroughly and dampen it.
3. Determine the level at which the cut will be carried out. Next, the selected section will serve as a reference point for the remaining hair.
4. Adjust the strands to the same length. Having combed and styled the hair, the "ladder" will clearly stand out.

High tail

How to trim the ends of your hair at home so that upon completion the hair forms a deep cascade (the method is very similar to the head-down method), discussed below:

1. You need to bend your head down.
2. Comb the hair and fasten it with an elastic band so that the resulting tail is perpendicular to the floor.
3. Further, depending on the length of the hair, you need to make a few more bindings.
4. The last elastic should be over the intended cut point.
5. To avoid making the hair look too rough, the hair needs to be well profiled.

2 low tails

How to trim the ends of your hair with the 2 Low Tails Method to get an oval cut:

1. Divide hair into 2 halves with even parting.
2. Interlace with elastic bands on each side, forming low tails.
3. Gently pull the elastic to the level where the cut will be.
4. The same manipulations must be carried out with the second tail, along the way checking the length.

6 ponytails

Not the easiest option for those who first decided on their own haircut. This method is used by owners of hair whose length is below average.

To make ponytails, you need to visually divide your head into 6 zones:

• frontal;
• temporal (right and left);
• lateral (above each ear);
• occipital.

When the ponytails are formed, mark the desired length and cut off the excess one by one.

Using a special level

Cutting excess length using a level is very simple, for this it is enough:

1. Comb your hair and divide it into 2 parts in a straight part.
2. Throw them over your shoulders.
3. Fix the level, gradually pulling it to the desired length.

Make sure the hair is straight before cutting your hair. Otherwise, the cut will be uneven.

How to trim your hair with a clipper for yourself and another person

Recently, the method of removing regrown ends, as well as the method of polishing hair with a machine has become a newfangled trend. The easiest way is to recreate the “2 Low Tails” method. In this case, the clipper will replace the scissors, removing the excess with horizontal cuts, but the result remains the same - the cut forms a soft semicircle along the back.

The regrown hair ends are much easier to cut with a clipper, with the help of outside help. To do this, it is enough to carefully comb them, laying them on the back. You need to sit as straight as possible, in no case change your posture, as the cut may turn out to be uneven. Starting in the middle, remove the ends of the hair, working towards the sides. The result is an even and crisp cut.

Semicircle

In order for the hair to form a semicircle after cutting, you need:

1. Divide them into 2 strands, parted.
2. Comb and pull them out as evenly as possible.
3. Determine the control strand and pinch it between your fingers.
4. Cut hair horizontally to your preferred length.
5. Using the control section, trim the remaining hair. Do the same with the other half of the split hair.
6. To prevent the cut from looking too rough, you can slightly profile the ends with ordinary scissors or a special razor.

Smooth

To make the hair cut even, it is best to use the "classic" method of self-cutting hair. The method of trimming the hair length by layer is perfect for the first experience. Due to the numerous layers, you can easily and without consequences correct the shortcomings, if any.

A smooth cut of hair can be achieved with a shaving machine. To do this, you need at least 2 mirrors or a dressing table to control the hair cutting process.This method is not very convenient to perform, because you have to put your hand behind your back.

The method of cutting off excess ends with a clipper will not work for owners of hair below average length. Better to use outside help.

How to cut your baby

Since it is impossible to force a child to sit in one position for a long time, speed of execution is very important in children's haircuts. For a beginner, the whole process will take about 15-20 minutes. Experienced hairdressers keep within 7-8 minutes.

If in order to cut a girl's hair, most often it is enough to limit herself to trimming the grown ends, then in order to to cut a boy well, you need a set of tools:

• Fine comb-comb.
• Cutting scissors.
• Clipper (optional attachments).
• Thinning scissors may come in handy.

1. Before starting a boy's haircut, the hair is moistened.
2. When highlighting the control strand, you need to pay special attention to the vortices and the direction of hair growth. It is best to start at the back of the head (where the swirl is).
3. Having indicated the control strand, it is pulled out with a comb and clamped between (index and middle) fingers.
4. Determine the desired length and cut off the excess.
5. Further, capturing the control strand for a guide, the remaining strands are gradually adjusted.
6. You should not take thick strands, so as not to get chopped cuts.
7. Successively cutting along the control cut (each next strand is pulled up to the previous one) the nearest curls, gradually move to the "hat zone". The bangs are processed in the same way.
8. In order to process the back of the head and temporal zones, you will need a clipper and a nozzle (6 mm). Floating movements, from bottom to top, remove excess.
9. The transition between the zones treated with scissors and the machine is smoothed out. To do this, take a comb-comb, apply it to the head (at an angle of 40 °) and hold it. The hair protruding between the teeth is removed using a machine (after removing the nozzle).
10. A machine without a nozzle reduces hair along the edge of the hairline.
11. Add piping to the temples. Excess behind the ears is removed.
12. In order for the image to be fully completed, the hair curls and bangs are slightly milled. It turns out a simple-to-perform children's haircut for a boy, which can be easily done at home.

Before you start cutting your hair ends at home, you need to consider the possible consequences. A poor-quality blade on a scissor or in a hair clipper can cause hair to split. Such an unpleasant nuance may not appear immediately, but even after a couple of months.
