Use these sparingly, though\u2014you don&#8217;t want too much texture in one spot or uneven lines because of overuse. Once that&#8217;s done, begin trimming with regular scissors held parallel to the head for even results. Start at the bottom and work your way up, taking small sections at a time and holding them tightly, so they don&#8217;t slip.<\/p>\n<p>When cutting around the face, ensure you pull the hair straight out from the head in all directions to get an accurate length. Keep your scissors angled upwards when snipping, as this will help prevent split ends. When completing the cut, use a comb or brush to separate any clumps of hair that may have been missed and double-check for any unevenness. If everything looks good, style it the way you like! With these tips, you should be able to give yourself a great haircut every time. Have fun experimenting with different styles!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23\" src=\"http:\/\/www.checkmynails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img_Hair_Cutting_Techniques_2.jpg\" alt=\"create professional hairstyles\" width=\"977\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.checkmynails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img_Hair_Cutting_Techniques_2.jpg 977w, http:\/\/www.checkmynails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img_Hair_Cutting_Techniques_2-300x159.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.checkmynails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img_Hair_Cutting_Techniques_2-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to cut hair like a pro: professional tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Invest in good quality tools. Investing in a professional set of shears, combs, and clips is essential. Not only will they last longer and make cutting easier, but they will also give you more control over the finished product.<\/li>\n<li>Consider face shape when choosing a hairstyle. Before you start cutting, determine what shape your client&#8217;s face is so you can choose an appropriate cut that compliments their features. For example, a round face should have layers cut to slim it down, while those with long faces should consider adding volume to shorten its length.<\/li>\n<li>Section off the hair before starting to cut. Use clips to separate sections of the hair for a precise cut or use them as guides for where to cut. This will help ensure that you cut an even length with each section.<\/li>\n<li>Use a dry cut. Cutting hair while it is dry allows you to better see where the shorter cuts should go and what needs to be trimmed off or thinned out. It also prevents the hair from being over-cut, which can lead to a choppy finish.<\/li>\n<li>Take your time when trimming the ends of the hair. To avoid split ends and keep the cut looking sharp, use scissors to snip away at small sections of hair until the desired length is achieved.<\/li>\n<li>Layer up for volume and texture. Layering is essential for creating fullness and movement in any hairstyle and adding definition. Experiment with different types and lengths of layers to see what works best for your client.<\/li>\n<li>Finish the look with a styling product. Once the hair is cut and styled, finish it off with a styling product such as hairspray or wax to keep the style in place and add extra shine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these tips, you&#8217;ll be able to confidently create professional hairstyles that will have your clients looking their best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gone are the days of dreading trips to the barber&#8217;s chair.
