Cutting Hair to One Length
Here is a method for cutting hair to a uniform length by following these steps:
- Moisten the hair using a spray bottle filled with water.
- Comb the hair to allow it to lay naturally along the sides and back.
- Pinch 2.54 centimeters of hair at the back right section between your index and middle fingers.
- Cut the hair at the back using scissors.
- Repeat the cutting process for the left back section, using the previously cut length as a guide.
- Continue repeating these steps until you reach the front of the hair.
- Carry out the same process on the other side of the head.
Layered Hair Cut
A layered haircut can be achieved at home by following these guidelines:
- Wet the hair thoroughly.
- Comb the hair to remove any tangles.
- Lean forward and allow the hair to fall in front.
- Gather the hair into a ponytail without pulling tightly.
- Position the hair tie at the desired cutting length: for long hair with light layers, tie a few centimeters of hair; for shorter hair with more layers, gather a larger section into a hanging ponytail.
- Cut the ponytail uniformly, ensuring no angles are created.
- Release the hair tie and check for evenness in the layers, trimming any excess as needed.
Cutting Short Curly Hair
To cut curly hair, follow these steps:
- Carefully comb through the curly hair, ensuring it is free of tangles.
- Section the hair into 2.54-centimeter segments using a comb.
- Braid each section individually, securing it while leaving 2.54 centimeters from the end.
- Repeat this process for all sections to create multiple braids.
- Cover the neck and shoulders with a towel, fastening it with a pin or clip to prevent hair from falling onto the skin or clothing.
- Using sharp scissors, trim half to a quarter of the length off the end of each braid straight across.
- Repeat this trimming step for all braids, comparing the length of each braid to ensure they are even.
- Unravel the braids.
- Check the ends of the hair from all angles, and use scissors to trim any uneven areas.
