How to make a short haircut at home?

Difficult situations arise at times when an urgent haircut or painting is required. In such cases, acting alone is highly discouraged, especially when it comes to a short haircut.

Nevertheless, with a neat approach, creating a short haircut at home is quite realistic. The main thing is to be patient and have the necessary tools.

It is very difficult to cut your hair yourself. Especially when it comes to short haircuts.

But if you don’t have time or money to go to the women's hairdresser, you can take a chance by trying to make a haircut yourself.

For those girls who decided to cut their hair on their own, The following tools will be needed:

• large and small mirrors;
• sharp scissors;
• thinning scissors;
• practical comb with a long handle;
• several long hairdressing clips;
• water spray;
• special cloak or any other protective coating.

Besides mirrors, it is important to pay attention to lighting - in the presence of bright light to make a successful haircut becomes much easier.

Spending a large amount on the above tools is not worth it, since mass-market products are no less reliable and of high quality than professional options.

Before you begin to work, you should take care of the preparation of hair. It refers to:

• inspection of hair for their condition;
• selection of hairstyles based on the type of face.

"Cascade" is a haircut that creates smooth steps. The shortest hair is located on the crown, and the rest - over the entire remaining area of ​​the head. You can give a good volume to your hair by creating short steps, but you should not overdo it, otherwise thinning will be required.

Particular attention should be paid to the type of person.

• A narrow oval will require smoother waves that expand the face.
• In order to slightly lengthen the round face, it is necessary to create thin locks that fit on the cheeks, and an asymmetric bang.
• For a square face, slightly rounded strands and bangs are considered the most suitable.
• Women with a flat nape need to create short steps at the crown.

Another important point is the processing of temples and bangs. It is on these two parts that the final result depends.

The situation with the temples is somewhat more complicated, but often the same method is used with them as with bangs.

Having thought over all the subtleties and details of the future hairstyle, you can safely proceed directly to the haircut. The work must be carried out as carefully as possible and without rushing at the same time.

Short haircut step by step.

• The first step is to completely wash your hair, and then treat it with conditioner and dry it with a hairdryer. However, for more convenient work, it is recommended to leave the hair slightly wet. In the case of quick drying of the curls, you can use a spray bottle.
• Hair located on the forehead and temples should be fixed with clips. The haircut itself should be started from the crown of the head, since it is in this area that the shortest hair grows.
• The selected strand must be held in the left hand, and the scissors in the right. The direction of the scissors should be strictly from top to bottom.
• You need to cut your hair in small locks, constantly inspecting the result in the mirror. It is also important that each subsequent strand should be slightly longer than the previous one.
• The resulting layers should be thoroughly combed to see the symmetry on the curls.
• Once the occipital region is completely trimmed, you can safely move on to the temples. You need to cut them even more carefully than the occipital part, because the risk of cutting a large amount of hair is extremely high. Reducing the length is best in several stages, without rushing.
• After the hair has been shortened to the desired length, they must be processed using thinning scissors. Hold the tool in your right hand, creating a slight tilt. Then they just need to lightly walk along the ends of the hair. This procedure will help to achieve a simpler styling and give the hairstyle a natural look.

Another important part when creating a short hairstyle is bang design. For many girls, this task seems overwhelming and extremely difficult. However, if all recommendations are followed, this process can be greatly facilitated.

To begin with, all hair should be freed from the installed clips, then slightly moisten and comb. Next, you should decide on the type of future bangs.

To create a stunning asymmetric bangs, hair is combed on the forehead, and then a curl is selected, the width of which is about 4 centimeters, and is clamped between the index and middle fingers.

Excess length is cut off and therefore this part of the bang becomes the shortest.

All further strands should be cut in exactly the same way, keeping the same length. Many newbies also forget that wet hair seems longer than dry, and therefore cut too long.

At the end of the work, you must again go through the hairstyle thinning scissors.

Another good solution for bangs is asymmetric hair, which is laid on the forehead. DTo do this, you need to comb all the hair on the face and gently cut it from the center to the temples. Near the ears you need to create a length that is completely identical to the main strands. This design of the bangs looks very interesting and unusual, while emphasizing the eyes and eyebrows.
