How to Cut Your Own Hair at Home Like a Pro

Trim your own bangs, layers, and everything in between. By now most of us should either already be in need of a haircut or trim however our regular hairdresser appointment is not possible, so it’s perfectly fine to learn how to cut your own hair at home like a pro.

• Work with your natural hair texture. But hair when it’s dry if you have naturally curly or wavy hair. If you have straight hair, cut while it’s wet or damp to get the cleanest, sharpest lines possible.
