Home Hair Cut Step by Step Guide
A Step-by-Step Guide for doing a home hair cut. Cutting hair is a lot easier then it’s sometimes made out to be. Once you get the basic techniques down. You’ll be well on your way to giving fantastic haircuts.
Like I said cutting hair is really pretty simple and cutting hair at home will save you money. Perhaps even make you some, once you follow these easy and simple steps.
Here I put together a basic hair cutting how to guide
Getting your Haircut is just a fact of life, and unless you are totally bald, then your probably already spending good money to have you and your family’s hair cut. Now once you learn how to cut your family and friends hair you can really start to save some hard earned dollars.
Start with a good pair of hair cutting scissors. This is very important, so to not damage your hair with paper or house hold scissors. Believe me, dull or paper scissors will pull the hair and just cause split ends. You’ll also want to have a brush and comb, spray bottle with water, a couple of hair clips and a good long mirror or two.
When you decide it’s time to cut, go ahead and shampoo and condition the hair. (It’s much easier to work with clean, conditioned hair) Then use a towel to get some of the excess water out. Now using your brush or fine toothed comb to comb the hair out, so that you can begin cutting.
Depend on the style and cut you want, I suggest if this is your first time to just trim a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch off. If your going for a even, single length cut, then this is pretty straight forward. If your wanting to have layers, then you’ll want to work in small sections, starting at the top of the crown (head) and bring that section of hair out at a slight angle using your comb and holding that section between you middle and index fingers. Then only cut about a 1/2 inch at first. After cutting each section let the hair fall, so you can see how the layers are forming.
Take the next section and part of the last section you just cut ( you’ll be using that last section as you guide to cut the correct length of your next section)
I want to repeat: When cutting the layers start at the crown and bring the hair straight up and out at an angle. The more angle you have before cutting the softer the layers will be. Then just work around the head. Starting center back. Then just work around one side and again repeating the same cut on the other side.
Remember to just take your time and make small cuts. Once you begin to see how the hair takes shape. You’ll start to build confidence in your cutting.
Once your cut is finished be sure to check that the lengths are even. The correct way to do this is take the same small sections from each side of the head (Best to start with sections above the ears, towards the top or just where the crown begins to curve and bring the two sections together (depending on the length of your hair) either toward the bridge of the nose and or the chin.
Dry your hair as you would normally and check for missed hair, or lengths that don’t blend in well and trim them.
To get a detailed step-by-step guide and instructions on learning how to cut hair. Which comes with detailed pictures and examples that will walk you through every step of the way. Then you’ll want to check out the “How to Cut Hair Guide for Beginners.” You can also sign up for my free 6-pair mini-course on learning how to cut hair.

How to Cut Boy’s Hair
Knowing how to cut boy’s hair at home can save you a lot of money and headache. cutting boy’s hair should and can be very simple and easy to do. Boy’s get their hair dirty and messy on a daily basis. Not to mention they’re very active. Most parents tend to stay away from Longer hair with boy’s, because it tends to just get in the way if their playing a outdoor game or any other fun activities, so the majority of parents prefer short and simple hairstyles for boys.
There are certainly some big differences between kids and adults when it comes to just about everything you can imagine. This is something to keep in mind when it comes to how to handle cutting boys hair at home. A Young boy for the most part really doesn’t care what his hair looks like. They play hard, in the dirt on the grass in the yard and their hair is probably the last thing they are worried about. So having a short or easy to manage haircut for your kid(s) is probably the way to go.
One of the easiest and most popular haircuts for young boys is a crew cut. This haircut is the shortest in length and easiest it manage. Most boy’s look good with this type of cut.
For most kids, keeping their hairstyle simple is easier for a couple of reasons. First, they are children and are not at an age where appearance is a big deal (This is not always the case especially with girls) and when the day does come when their hair is a big deal. Then will just cross that bridge later… Second, because most children are in fact active, hairstyles that are simple, easy to manage and style are a better choice since most kids ruin their hairstyles anyways. Kids will dirty up and tangle their hair on a daily basis, so keeping their hairstyle simple really make thing so much easier.
For young children, the best haircuts are the short ones, hands down. Short hairstyles like spikes and crew cuts are great for young boys. These haircuts are short and simple, so that they can be active without to much fuss to the hair. Short one length layered cuts are also an great and easy to manage haircut for that little gentlemen.
Fades and Spiky hair is another route to go. It’s a little more up keep, but these cuts work well with boy too. Spike haircuts are fun and a bit of a fashion statement. As for a nice fade, it is always a good choice and if done correctly it’s a very clean and handsome hairstyle for any young man.
When it come to our kids hair be sure to find something that is age appropriate, meaning be aware of the time required for the management of the style and consider how playful and energetic children are.
For great information on learning how to cut boy’s hair at home, I highly recommend you to look at an ebook called “How To Cut Hair For Beginners” staring from page 59. It will tell you what you need to know about cutting hair.

Cutting Your Own Hair
There’s nothing worse then cutting your own hair only to make some big mistakes and completely mess it up.
Now if your looking to learn how to cut your own hair, then I suggest you should try and keep the same general style at first. Meaning just give yourself a small to medium cut every four to six weeks, using your current style as a guide.
What You’ll Need
You’ll need a big mirror (bathroom or kitchen), good lighting, a spray bottle with water, a hand mirror, hair clips, a comb and sharp pair of hair scissors. Sharp scissors are important, as dull scissors will result in a dull cut and will damage the hair.
Prepare Your Hair
It’s much easier to cut damp hair, as opposed to your hair being completely wet, so just towel dry your hair after you get it wet. Cutting wet hair (especially when it comes to bangs) can result in a hair cut that ends up way too-short . It is also a lot easier to cut clean hair. When you are ready, slightly dampen your hair with a spray bottle of water or shampoo and condition it then towel dry slightly.. If your hair dries as you’re cutting just re-spray with your water bottle..
Don’t cut to much…
Remember, it is better to cut too little than too much.
Single Length Hair
Hair that is one length all the way around is pretty straightforward. Just follow the procedure for bangs (below), cutting the same amount off your ends in small sections. When you are finished cutting just brush and style.
Bangs
For multi-length hair with bangs, start with cutting your bangs first. Comb them straight down, being careful not to include side hairs. Be sure to take the rest of your hair and clip it back or put into a ponytail. Next, take your bangs between your index and middle fingers and pull them down (use very little to no tension) and trimming into then at a slight angle.
Don’t try and cut too much length at once.
I recommend cutting your bangs by diagonally cutting the tips of a few strands of hair across your bangs. A Bunt cut can be a bit hard to do if your looking for that perfectly straight line.
Sides and Layers
The next step is to cut layers into your hair. If you have layers all over, you will be following them, top to bottom, front to back. If your hair is all one length except for the side angles, you will be working along the sides of your hair style only, front to back.
Choose small sections of the top layer or side. Cutting smaller sections is easiest to work with. If you try to hold and cut too much at once, the result will be uneven.
You will be able to pick out layers of similar lengths by using your comb as a guide and holding the hairs between your index and middle fingers, as you did with your bangs. Slide your fingers down to leave a fairly straight line. Then cut all the way across. For side angles, follow the same technique, being sure to angle your index and middle fingers to follow the angle of your hair.
The Back
Trying to cut the back of your hair is a bit tricky, but you’ll get the hang of it. Just take your time, make sure to check each of your cuts by using your hand mirror and working each cut in small sections.

Home Hair Cutting
Cutting hair is fairly simple to do at home once you understand a few basics. This will not only save you money, but make a little on the side as well. Here’s a good how-to guide for doing just that.
Haircuts are a fact of life, and unless you are bald, then you will spend $10 to $20 a month, or more keeping your hair trimmed. The price will be well over $40 plus dollar for a full shampoo, cut and blow-dry. Now if you learn how to cut your family and friends hair you can save that much money for a family treat.
Start with a good professional haircut. Then you will only have to trim it every few weeks to keep it neat and tidy. If you have exceptionally thick hair, you will more than likely need to see a hairstylist about every 6 months for a more complete job.
When you get home from the hairstylist, use a ruler and measure the length of your hair on the crown. Hold the hair straight up against a ruler resting against your scalp. Write the measurement down and keep it in a safe place. Also measure the distance from the back of the neck, and above the ears.
When it becomes time to trim your hair, get the measurements out; mark a fine toothed comb with the length as you measured it when you first got the hair cut. You will be using this as a guide to help keep your original hairstyle trimmed and neat looking.
Use a very sharp pair of scissors, ones that are used only for cutting hair. It will help avoid split ends and painful pulling. Wet your hair, but remember that wet hair will be longer than dry hair, so you will need to add between a 1/4 and a 1/2 inch to the measurements, depending upon the length of your hair.
Start at the crown and pull a length of hair straight up, use the comb to measure and snip of any hair that extends beyond the measurement. Move around the crown following the same procedure. Gradually move down the side of the head, using the measurements taken for the part of the head that you are working on.
Dry your hair as you would normally and check for missed hair, or lengths that don’t blend in well and trim them.
If your hair is curly, make sure when you measure that it is pulled straight as well as when you cut it. Work in a circular pattern around the top of the head. Your hair will grow faster on one side of your head. This is normal, so don’t expect to take the same amount of both sides of your head.
When checking the finished haircut, don’t look to see if it is even from the shoulders, rather check to see if it is the same in relation to your ears, your eyes, and your mouth. Since very few faces are perfectly symmetrical, if your hair is even according to your ears, eyes, and mouth your face will look symmetrical.

How to Cut Short Hair
Here are some steps to follow and tips on how to cut hair short. Once you learn the basics of cutting hair. You will not only save money that is usually spent at your local salon, but your friends and family will be impressed.
Short style hair cuts are a reflection of confidence and control. Not to mentioned easier to maintain without all the fuss of trying to dry and styling it. Cutting hair is not a always are easy as your professional stylist make’s it look.
There are a few things to take into account. Once you know the basics and have a better understanding of how hair takes shape. You be cutting like the pros in no time.
Here are a two things to know about cutting short hair.
1. It is easy to manage. For boys it just a wash and go. For girls it makes you look younger!
2. A good short hair cut will emphasizes femininity and tends to look healthier and less damaged. As for Men or kids, nothing looks better then an gentleman’s clean haircut.
Here are a couple of things not to do:
Don’t brush your hair with to much force while its wet. Hair is more elastic when wet and can break or split if pulled to hard.
Avoid using rubber bands for ponytails Rubber bands will break and split the hair. Use coated elastic bands and scrunchy. These tend to put less strain on your hair.
Don’t over condition your hair. It will, over time damage your hair by drying it out and will also cause split-ends.
The first thing to do before you begin cutting is to find a photo(s) of the hair style you’re looking for. If you don’t have any magazines just go online and search for short hair styles in Google images.
Next is to get your hair wet. Wet clean hair is much easier to cut. Plus the hair will shrink some after it dries, so be sure to keep this in mind when your deciding the length to cut.
Important note: Don’t cut bang wet. Unless your 100% sure of what you’re doing or you’ll find that the bangs, once they dry will be half way up your forehead.
Now onto sectioning the hair; At this point you should have decided what length and style you want. Again refer to your photo.
Begin by cutting along the bottom of the hair to get your desired length and shape. Start in the back and work around the head either left to right or right to left. It really doesn’t matter which way you go. Only that you stick to a pattern and follow it.
As for the layering, be sure to use sections and clipping any hair from above out of the way, so to get a good view and clean cut. A hair pin will work fine for clipping the hair up. When you get to the next sections be sure to use you last section of hair as your guide. This is to ensure that your desired length stays even and consistent. Remember while you’re cutting don’t forget to check both sides of the head to make sure that your cut is even.

Hair Cutting Tips
If you looking for hair cutting techniques and tips then your first going to want to have the basics down first. Understanding and knowing your face shape will help determine the best style and cut to complement your facial features. A good stylist will always take this into consideration before cutting your hair and you should as well. Also your lifestyle, hair texture and hair condition is also a very important factor, before deciding on a style.
Having a great haircut is an excellent way to change an appearance, it can make you feel better or younger. However when someone is getting some hair cutting tips, they need to be sure that the advice your getting will result in having a great haircut. Whether your having a hairstylist cut your hair or if your cutting it at home, you want the that cut to make you look your best.
The first hair cutting tip is that you need to work with or get advice from a professional hair stylist. This is key, they need to not only be a good listener, but one that can explain how and why a certain cut or style will complement you.
To save you from any bad hair cutting experience, I have come up with some really simple hair cutting tips. These hair cutting tips will help you when your getting a professional haircut or having the cut done at home.
This hair cutting tips is about having a professional stylist who listens to their clients. They should make you feel comfortable enough to share your likes and dislikes or any apprehensions you may have. I have had clients in the past that were so against a style or cut and it was usually because the person that attempted the cut or style I was suggesting messed it up so badly the first time that the client never got to see how nice it would look on then if it was done correctly in the first place. This is why listening and communication is so key here.
When you considering a haircut, be sure and look through some different magazines or pictures on line. Then just print them out and show them to your stylist. This will help the stylist to have clear picture of what you expect and want .
Another important tip is know the type of hair you have. is it wavy, curly, fine or thick. Do you have a cow lick or a crazy hair pattern.
Another tip is to take in to account your face shape, age, profession.Also your hair color as well your lifestyle.
If your going to cut your hair yourself here is a good guide to follow…
- Wash and condition before cutting. then will help and make it easier to control while cutting.
- Always try and cut off less than what you want the finished length to be.
- Always cut the hair by pulling it through your comb and fingers (in between your middle and index finger) This will give you the best control over your hair.
- Make each cut one section at a time.
- Be sure your standing or sit as straight up as possible.
- When cutting bangs don’t attempt to cut then wet or with tension. This will result in cutting then way to short for your liking.
- Always use hair cutting scissors. These type of shears can be purchased at you local beauty supply store.
- Remember, it is always better to cut too little than too much…

Tips For Hair Styles and Cuts
When it come to different hair styles or cuts. Most women are usually searching for a new style or one they may have just seen on someone. Now are there some sort of guidelines to use when looking to choose a particular hairstyle? The short answer is yes, so here are a few good tips when it comes to choosing a hairstyle for yourself.
The very first thing I suggest you do is to be real and honest with yourself. Meaning you’ll want to accentuate your best features, this will not only make you look and feel better, but it will attract the eye away for your least favorite features. For example if you have a high or long forehead bangs will accentuate the style. Another is if your short, having long hair came make you look even shorter. So just be realistic when it comes to deciding on a new hair styles and cuts.
Your face shape plays a huge part in your hair style as well! Meaning a Hairstyle for lets say a rounder shape face, you would not want to many layers around the cheek and jaw area. You would perhaps be better off going with a longer style around the low neck and shoulder area. This style will minimize the width of your face. For longer faces, the hair can be cut shorter with bangs and have the hair blow-ed dried outward. Which will give your face a wider appearance.
When searching for a great hairstyle, here is some of the best advice I can give you. It is to look at some different hairstyles either on line or in magazines. Celebrity hairstyles are great too. Then narrow your search down to just a few pictures of women that have similar face shapes and features as yourself. Your face shape does play a part in deciding on a hairstyle and cut.
Having a great cut and hair styles that match your facial features is half the battle of finding a look that will suit you. Then once you learn and understand some of these techniques and tips, it will ensure a perfect finish. The trick here is knowing what style and haircut will compliment your face shape and personality, in order to achieve a desired results.
If you are not sure what your face shape is. Then one of easiest way to find out is to just move your hair back away from your face. Standing in front of a mirror and then just trace the on line of your face on the mirror with lipstick. Which ever shape this closest resembles is the categories your face shape falls under.
Here are the some Hair Cuts that work best for which ever face shape you have.
A square face shape usually has an broad forehead and square jawline. longer layers, work best with soft waves or curls, This creates a nice softness that detracts from the hard lines of a squared shaped face. Having a side part combed away from the face works well too.
Hair Cut For Round Face
On rounder shaped faces a short fringe will lengthen the face. Also long layers coming into the cheek and jaw area will give this a thinner look.
Hair Cut For oval Face

How to Cut Own Hair Made Easy
With the cost of everything rising these days, it is becoming the norm to cut corners wherever possible. One area people can cut cost is to learn how to cut their own hair. Most men have get their hair cut about once a month. Costing them anywhere between $10.00 to $40.00 bucks. Now with all the different hairstyles for women, haircuts can range from about $25.00 to well into the hundreds of dollars not to mention the cost for products. Most people, Are not professionally trained to cut and are a little unsure how to even go about cutting hair. Let alone their own. But what I am here to share with you is with a little practice and know how, you to can learn how to cut your own hair at home. Once you see how easy it is to master this skill, everyone will think you went out and had your hair professionally done!
The first thing to do is get the correct tools: a pair of hair cutting scissors, a couple of combs, some hair clips, electric clippers, and a spray bottle with water. You need a hand-held mirror, a wall mirror and standing mirror (or two standing mirrors are fine), and preferably, a friend or family member standing by to help you out the first time.
Second, decide on the type of cut you want. The very first time you attempt to cut your own hair, be conservative; don’t go for a difficult, begin by only cutting a inch or less off, you can always cut more off later. If your hair is already pretty short, then just cut very little at first until you get more comfortable with cutting. Go ahead and set up a couple of mirrors at an angle so you can see the back of your head. Look at front back and sides of your hair and pull out a few different strands to see how long they are. Decide how much you want to cut and just cut a little less at first. Practice combing and separating hair just in the reflection of the mirror, where everything will be backward. Sometimes this is confusing at first.
Third, wash your hair and comb it straight. The wetter your hair, the easier it is to cut. It also helps to have some sort of conditioner in the hair so it will be soft and easy to work with. Having your water bottle close by to wet your hair to help control it while your combing and cutting. When your hair starts to dry just give your hair a lite spray.
Fourth, you can begin cutting. start with sectioning your hair into 4 sections. Use your hair clips to keep back any hair that might fall where you are trying to cut. Comb the sections straight out from your head for men’s and layered cuts. Just hold the hair between your index and middle finger. The section of hair you have between your fingers should now look flat as you hold them between your fingers. Go ahead and sliding your fingers down the hair to the ends of the hair until just the amount of hair you want to cut is showing; go ahead and cut across the hair, just above or below your fingers, depending on the direction you hand is. Then comb the section out again and check to make sure the cut is even. Then just move onto the next section and repeat.
Now every so often let the hair down from the clips and check to make sure that sides are even. One way to make sure is to grab pieces of hair from both sides of your head in exactly the same spot, and bring the ends together. If they touch evenly, then you have cut your hair the same length on both sides. If not, you will see how much straightening you need to do.
For men’s hair, using the clippers can be much easier to use then scissors. Attempting to cut multi-layered men’s hair with scissors and an mirror can be done, but you may want to have a little practice first before it can be done well. The principle is the same as longer hair, other then you wont need to section the hair with clips. Keep the hair wet and comb it straight before measuring the layers and deciding how much to cut off. As with longer hair, be conservative to allow for mistakes. If using electric clippers, It is better to cut the hair dry. and the clipper blade can either catch the hair or not cut evenly.
Now with a little practice, you can learn to cut you own hair and save some big money just by cutting your hair at home. Just take your time and check your work as you go. Soon, you will find that friends and neighbors are asking you to cut their hair too!
