# 3: Common sense tips for getting your hair cut at home
- Get help: Cutting your hair yourself, even with a mirror, is particularly complicated. If you have to shave them to zero, the Philips QC5580 can help you out, but understand the length of the locks of hair to be cut with scissors it is not a walk in the park. If you have to, cut while facing the larger mirror, and place a smaller mirror to look at the length of the hair on the other side.
- Beware of wet hair: Wet the hair, and maybe pass it with conditioner, helps in the cut. But keep in mind that i wet hair looks longer, especially for those who are curly. Try cutting a strand and then drying it, to evaluate what you are doing.
- Cut little: Don't no drastic cuts. Cut little, because if you overdo it you have no way back.
- Don't cut horizontally: you work one strand at a time. If you take a long row of hair and cut it, when you let it go you will see that they are each a different length. Your hairdresser doesn't take a lifetime because he wants to get paid more: cutting your hair at home requires time and patience.
# 4: Choose a simple cut, and follow the instructions
After reminding you once again that I don't take responsibility, in order to silence my conscience, I also remind you to be conservative. Cut little, and cut simple. Those with long hair are better off limited to a blunt one, those with short hair are better off choosing a uniform cut with a complicated crest.
Preparation
Sciacquate hair with conditioner, and comb it so as to delete the nodes. I know it can be painful, but it's got to do it. Dry with a cloth, no hairdryer. It's okay that they are moist, but not wet. Put on the cape, and keep all accessories at hand: scissors, combs, rubber bands e hair cutter.
Cutting
cut long hair with scissors, it is necessary to divide the head into sections, so as not to skip any areas. Bring one to the mirror between your fingers small strand at a time, and make sure there are no knots. Cut less than you wantespecially if you have very damp hair. I leave you this tutorial to follow. And this for the "special bangs".
