Tips for Cutting Your Own Hair at Home Let It Not Fail!

Getting bored with the haircut, but can't go to the salon because of physical distancing? You can experiment with your own haircut. Here are the tips to not fail!

While you're at home, there's a lot of new things you can explore, including those related to beauty. Starting from self-pampering routine such as scrubs, wear hair masks, or manicure-pedicure itself. But if you're feeling 'adventurous' or already bored with the current hairstyle, you can also paint your own hair or cut your own hair. When it comes to hair coloring, I think Ochell is more expert, if I become a 'hobby', cut my own hair during quarantine! Ha ha ha. Looked at, on social media also already share share quarantine haircut ’each one is so bored (even though it's only been three weeks, yes). Some only trim the edges a little, but many also suddenly have bangs.

Keep in mind, the results of the haircut themselves will certainly not be the same as our customers' hairdresser pieces. Limited skills and tools certainly affect. In addition, cutting your own hair is also easier for those who originally had long hair. Make the shoulder length hair owner and want to shorten it into a bob or lob, it's better to ask for help from Mama or sister so that you don't regret it later hehehe. For those of you who want to experiment with your own haircut too, try checking these tips so that they don't fail.

The first and most obvious, please use a pair of hair scissors. Don't use paper scissors, cloth scissors, especially kitchen scissors. Yes, they get the job done anyway, but using scissors other than hair clippers can make the ends of your hair even be damaged. Do not want to bother and still choose to use paper scissors? Well, do it on your own risk. :)

Wet or dry hair?

If you go to the salon, your hair will usually be cut when wet. This method is also the most logical and easiest because our hair will be super straight. But you can also cut your hair dry to be able to immediately see its original length. Tips from Hair Youtuber Brand Mondo is to hair straight down completely beforehand to simplify the cutting process. Don't forget to use heat protectant first, okay?

Divide the hair in several parts

For owners of thin-medium hair, you can divide your hair in two parts following the part of the hair you want, then tie it with a hair band. If your hair is thick, it is better to divide it into four parts so that the cuts are even more. Then tie again according to the length you want.

Take a deep breath and start cutting ...

Nervous? Understandable lol. Pinch the ends of your hair between your index and middle fingers and then start to cut little by little. It doesn't matter if it's longer than your original plan, you can still fix it with point cutting afterwards. If it's already too short, there's no going back.

For those who want to cut bangs, tips from Jen Atkin, Bella Hadid's hairdresser, is to take a thin section of hair first and don't forget to cut points so your bangs don't look bulky.

Good luck ‘quarantine haircut’! Even if it doesn't really live up to your expectations, your hair will still grow back. :)
