Well-groomed silky hair is one of the main elements of the charming image of every woman. Pay attention to hair and in every way take care of them constantly. Split and uneven ends will turn the most fashionable hairstyle into something shapeless and add carelessness to the look. Regular trimming of hair is not just an improvement in the appearance of the hairstyle, but also one of the surest ways to improve their health in combination with other caring procedures.

It’s no secret that under the conditions of modern realities many of us are constrained in finances, therefore It makes sense to learn to trim the hair at home. If you successfully master the simple "secrets" of the trimming technique, your spending on trips to professional stylists will decrease significantly, besides, you will have extra personal time (and, as you know, money too).

Necessary accessories

If you cut the split ends just a few millimeters, the hairstyle will change and take a neat well-groomed look. But it only makes sense if the equipment is properly executed using good tools.

Comfortable sharp scissors - the main condition for success. Do not ignore this moment! The poorly sharpened blades of the scissors shred the hair shafts, break them at the point of cutting, and after a few days they begin to exfoliate again.

Best buy special hairdressing scissors made of carbon steel. You will have to spend only once, but then you will always have a quality tool at hand. If this is not possible (they are quite expensive), then ordinary scissors should be sharply sharpened and conveniently placed in the hand.

In addition to scissors, you need clips for strands, a fine comb with wide teeth, silicone gum, a spray bottle with water, a peignoir or a sheet, a broom, and a scoop to collect the sheared garbage. To moisturize the hair is better not with ordinary water, and spray with vitamins and keratin.

Preparing for a haircut

The place where you plan to trim the hair must be in front of a large mirror with a good view and be well lit. Cramped conditions (small mirror and lack of light) will not allow trimming the hair neatly and evenly. It will take another small mirror to view the result from the back of the head.

Use the little trick: if you have blond hair, put a dark sheet on your shoulders before cutting, and if dark hair - on the contrary, take a light peignoir or sheet. Contrast color will simplify the process at home - so you can better consider the structure of the tips, which will allow you to trim the entire damaged part of the hair.

Types of techniques

Before you begin, determine your expectations. It is important to understand what to do at home trimming long hair and even more so to create a stylish haircut is difficult, there is a risk to spoil the hairstyle. The maximum that you can fearlessly decide is to trim the tips of long or medium split ends with one even cut or semicircle. Curly, thick and short hair is strongly recommended to trim the specialists.

  • One cut. This is a classic cut along one horizontal line, when the hair is beautifully folded back, and their ends lie flat on the back.At home, such trimming should be done together with someone from the family (sister, friend, mother) alternately to each other (if necessary).
  • Semicircle. This is a classic trimming method when the cut line forms an oval. Hair looks as natural as possible, their length is shortened gradually, approaching the face. You should not make such a cut for girls with thin, weak hair, because as they get closer to their face, they become more fragile.

Step-by-step instruction

To trim the hair is easier when it is clean and wet, performing elements of simple technology.

First, we will tell you how to get a horizontal cut line:

  • wash your hair and dry them with a towel;
  • comb the entire length of the prepared comb;
  • separate the temporal zones, move them to the face;
  • divide all remaining hair with a horizontal parting on the back of the head to separate the control strand;
  • clip the top of the hair to the top of the clip;
  • comb the lower control strand, if necessary, moisten it with a spray bottle, grab a part of the strand in the middle with two fingers, pull it down and cut the damaged tips (it is important to keep the strand parallel to the back without lifting it up), then trim the tips of the strands on the right and left, grabbing them with part of the already cut strands and controlling the length of each slice along it;
  • comb and trim the trimmed control strand gently;
  • from the top of the clamp, release alternately small strands so that you can see the level of the previous slice, each time gently combing them;
  • align each successive part of the hair on the control strand and cut at the level of the previous cut, thus equalizing all the hairs in the back of the head.

Each temporal lobe is divided into 2 parts horizontally and alternately trim them starting from the bottom and aligning them with the previous occipital strand.

Having finished the procedure, dry your hair, comb it, carefully check the result visually and remove the errors, if any.

You can trim your own long hair yourself at home, using simple techniques.

With a low "tail"

  • brush your wet hair thoroughly over the entire length;
  • collect them in the back in a low "tail" in the center of the neck and secure at the base with a tight elastic band;
  • over the entire length of the “tail”, evenly fasten more elastic bands (approximately at a distance of 8–10 cm) for convenience when working with scissors;
  • level under the last rubber band at the end of the strand means the place where the cut should be made;
  • grab the end of the "tail" under the last rubber band with two fingers, well pull off the strand and cut off the truncated tips;
  • remove the rubber bands, comb the curls, fold back, view the rear view with a small mirror, if you wish, correct the oval cut;
  • you can leave a deep semicircle, or you can make it softer by slightly removing the length in the middle of the oval.

Using a high "tail"

  • collect all the hair in a high "tail", fix a strong rubber band;
  • for best results, tie the “tail” with thin elastic bands along the entire length every 2-3 cm, with the last fixation above the expected level of the cut at the end of the “tail”;
  • grab the end of the "tail" between your fingers and cut the tips as smooth as possible, preferably with professional scissors;
  • remove all the gum, dissolve and comb the hair.

With the help of “tails”, the cut line will be a semicircle.

There is an even easier way to trim the hair itself:

  • make a smooth vertical parting along the entire head and divide the hair into 2 parts;
  • Throw the curls first from one side to the front, grab them between the index and middle fingers, tighten and trim the split ends, while scissors should be held horizontally;
  • Throw the hair forward on the other side, connect both parts of the hair under the chin and similarly trim the ends on this side at the same level.

How often should I trim my hair?

The frequency of haircuts is determined individually in each individual case.

To maintain the shape of model haircuts they need to trim every 2 months.

But if you set out to grow long hair, then first of all it is necessary to provide them with the most correct care in order to prevent their dryness, brittleness and section. Then with healthy hair it will be enough to trim them every six months. If you can’t completely avoid split ends, you still have to cut them once every 3 months.
