How Do We Trim Our Hair?

Published in Hair Trimming 2 mins read

Trimming your hair involves using sharp shears to even out the ends, following the existing shape of your hair.

Steps to Trimming Hair

Here's a breakdown of how to trim your hair at home:

  • Gather your supplies: You will need salon-quality scissors or shears. Avoid using dull scissors as they can damage your hair.
  • Prepare your hair: Make sure your hair is clean and dry.
  • Isolate sections: Use clips or hair ties to divide your hair into manageable sections.
  • Pinch hair: Pinch a section of hair between your fingers. This will serve as a guide for your trim.
  • Cut straight across: Using your shears, make a cut that is parallel to your fingers. This should even out the ends.
  • Follow existing shape: As you trim, follow the existing shape of each section to maintain your current hairstyle.
  • Trim gradually: Cut small amounts of hair at a time. You can always cut more but you cannot put it back.
  • Check in a mirror: Stand in front of a mirror to see how much you are trimming and ensure it is even across your head.

Important Considerations

  • Clean and Sharp Tools: Always use clean, sharp scissors to avoid damaging your hair and split ends.
  • Amount of Hair: The amount of hair you trim is a personal choice. Start with small trims and gradually take off more if needed.
  • Guidance: If you are unsure, you might want to seek guidance from a professional hairstylist for your first time trimming your hair or if you want to change your current style.
