How to trim your hair?

Well-groomed silky hair is one of the main elements of the charming image of every woman. It is necessary to pay attention to hair in every way and take care of them constantly. Split and uneven ends will turn the most fashionable hairstyle into something shapeless and add to the look of sloppy. Regular hair cutting is not just an improvement in the appearance of the hairstyle, but also one of the surest ways to improve it in combination with other caring procedures.

It is no secret that in the context of modern realities, many of us are constrained in finances, therefore it makes sense to learn to trim hair at home. If you successfully master the simple "secrets" of the technique of trimming, your spending on going to professional stylists will decrease significantly, in addition, you will have additional personal time (and, as you know, it is also money).

If you trim the split ends by just a few millimeters, the hairstyle will transform and take a neat well-groomed appearance. But this only makes sense if the technique is done correctly using good tools.

Best to purchase special hairdressing scissors made of carbon steel. You will have to spend it only once, but then you will always have a high-quality tool at hand.If this is not possible (they are quite expensive), then ordinary scissors should be sharpened sharply and conveniently located in the hand.

In addition to scissors, you will need clamps for locks of strands, a thin comb with wide teeth, silicone rubber bands, a spray bottle with water, a peignoir or sheet, a broom and a dustpan to collect cut off garbage. It is better to moisturize your hair not with ordinary water, but with a spray of vitamins and keratin.

The place where you plan to trim your hair must be in front of a large mirror with good visibility and well lit. Cramped conditions (small mirror and lack of light) will not allow you to trim your hair neatly and evenly. You will need another small mirror to view the result from the back of the head.

Take advantage of a little trick: if you have blonde hair, throw a dark sheet over your shoulders before cutting, and if dark - on the contrary, take a light peignoir or sheet. Contrast color will simplify the process at home - so it will be possible to better consider the structure of the tips, which will allow you to trim the entire damaged part of the hair.

Before you begin, determine your expectations. It is important to understand that it is difficult to make long hair trimming at home and even more so to create a stylish haircut, there is a risk of spoiling the hair. The maximum that you can fearlessly decide is to trim the ends of long or medium split ends with one even cut or semicircle. Curly, thick and short hair is strongly recommended to trim specialists.

• In one cut. This is a classic cut in one horizontal line, when the hair is beautifully folded back, and their ends lie on the back in a straight line. At home, such an adjustment should be done together with someone close (sister, girlfriend, mother), alternately to each other (if necessary).
• In a semicircle. This is the classic way to trim when the cut line forms an oval. The hair looks as natural as possible, their length is gradually shortened, approaching the face. Do not make such a cut for girls with thin weak hair, since with closer approach to the face they become more brittle.

Trimming hair is easier when it is clean and wet, performing elements of simple technology.

First we’ll show you how to get a horizontal cut line:

• wash your hair and dry it with a towel;
• comb along the entire length of the cooked comb;
• separate the temporal zones, move them to the face;
• Separate all remaining hair with a horizontal parting at the back of the head to highlight the control strand;
• fasten the top of the hair with a clip on the crown;
• Comb the lower control strand, if necessary, moisten from the spray gun, grab the part of the strand in the middle with two fingers, pull it down tightly and trim the damaged ends (it is important to keep the strand parallel to the back, not lifting up), then cut the ends of the strands to the right and left, grabbing them with your fingers with part of the already cut strand and controlling the length of each cut along it;
• gently comb and straighten the trimmed control strand;
• from the upper part from under the clip, let out successively small locks in order to see the level of the previous cut, each time carefully combing them;
• align each successive part of the hair with a control strand and cut it at the level of the previous cut, so that all the hair of the occipital area is trimmed.

After completing the procedure, dry your hair, comb, carefully check the result visually and remove any errors, if any.

You can trim your long hair yourself at home, adhering to a simple technique.

• thoroughly comb the wet hair with a comb along the entire length;
• collect them from behind in a low “tail” in the center of the nape and secure with a tight elastic band at the base;
• along the entire length of the “tail” evenly fasten the elastic bands (approximately at a distance of 8 -10 cm) for convenience when working with scissors;
• the level under the last elastic at the end of the strand means the place at which to cut;
• grab with two fingers the end of the “tail” under the last rubber band, pull the strand well and cut off the truncated ends;
• remove the elastic bands, comb the curls, fold back, look through the rear view with a small mirror, if necessary, correct the oval cut;
• you can leave a deep semicircle, or you can make it softer by slightly removing the length in the middle of the oval.

• gather all the hair in a high “tail”, fix it with a strong elastic;
• to get a better result every 2-3 cm tie the “tail” with thin elastic bands along the entire length, while doing the last fixation over the expected cut level at the end of the “tail”;
• grab the end of the “tail” between the fingers and cut off the ends with the most straight line, preferably with professional scissors;
• remove all the elastic bands, loosen and comb the hairstyle.

Using the “tails” methods, the cut line will be a semicircle.

There is an even simpler way to trim your hair yourself:

• make an even vertical parting along the entire head and divide the hair into 2 parts;
• first toss the curls from one side forward, grab them between the index and middle fingers, pull up and trim the split ends, while scissors should be tried to hold horizontally;
• throw forward the hair on the other side, connect both parts of the hair under the chin and in the same way trim the ends on this side at the same level.

The frequency of haircuts is determined individually in each individual case.

But if you set out to grow long hair, then first of all it is necessary to provide them with the most proper care in order to prevent their dryness, brittleness and cross-section. Then with healthy hair it will be enough to trim them once every six months. If you do not succeed in completely avoiding split ends, you will still have to cut them once every 3 months.

Hair type is not only what nature has inherited from your parents. Many factors that negatively affect the condition of the hair, a priori, can be avoided or at least limit their presence in your life:

• insufficient fluid intake (recommended at least 2 liters per day);
• smoking, alcohol;
• excessive passion for coffee;
• improperly selected care products;
• lack of vitamins (keep an eye on nutrition);
• various diets and nutritional restrictions (as a result - insufficient nutrition of hair).

It is necessary to maintain and maintain healthy hair constantly, and not from case to case, as is often the case with an eternal lack of time. Do not neglect the simple rules of care:

• choose the right hair care products (shampoos, balms, masks, creams) that are right for you - for selection it is better to use a specialist consultation;
• minimize hot drying with a hairdryer, use the curling iron and ironing as little as possible, and if this cannot be avoided, use high-quality thermal protection;
• Do not rub your head with a towel after washing, but only gently pat it to absorb moisture.

Constant care and respect will keep your hair strong and healthy.which do not split much and do not bother with frequent trimming of the ends, but weak, not quite healthy hair has to be cut much more often.By practicing independent trimming of split ends, you will learn to do this for yourself and your loved ones, and saving your family budget and personal time will be a significant plus.
