Plan for Progress  

For ladies who like to modify their look at the drop of a dime, getting a haircut is one of the fastest and simplest ways to do this. Naturally if the one doing the cutting is not certain of what he/she is doing, your haircut might turn out to be a disaster but luckily hair is always growing. As such although it will require a few months, it is possible for you to recover from a bad haircut, and if required you can cover it up for the meantime.
In any case, a haircut can really do a lot for you when it is done properly. So here are a few things you ought to know if you intend to cut your own hair or someone else’s hair. These tips will not make you a master barber at once but with practice you’ll get it.

How To Cut Hair

Required Tools
Scissors
Towel
Required Materials
Spray bottle
Fine-tooth comb
Instructions
Begin with clean, damp hair; a number of individuals choose to cut their hair when it is dry. But you are more likely to get an even cut when the hair is wet instead of when it is dry. Wrap the towel around your shoulders to keep your clothes from getting wet and use the fine-tooth comb to comb your hair out. Make sure that all the hairs are stretched out and even or the cut may look choppy and uneven.
Part your hair where you typically wear it parted and take a tiny part of hair and pull it straight down using the index and middle finger of one hand. Run the fine-tooth comb through this area to make sure all the hairs are stretched out and hold the hair firmly between your fingers just above where you are going to cut it. Hold the scissors with your other hand and cut straight across. If any area of your hair dries out before you are finished, use the spray bottle to re-wet your hair before moving on.
If you want layers to give volume to your hair, use the comb and haphazardly lift sections of hair straight up in the air and cut it straight across. This will make each section a varying length and give the desired layered effect.
You can cut your hair in a ‘V’ or ‘U’ shape if you choose; to do this part your hair in 2 down the middle and look down towards the floor. Comb your hair down on either side of your head and cut straight across the bottom of your hair while in this position. The more forward your head is, the deeper the ‘V’ will be, so if you want a ‘U’ shape look straight ahead and pull the hair straight out in front of your face instead of downward when cutting it.

Tips
Be sure to cut straight across with the scissors because cutting the hair at an angle can result in split ends afterwards.
After each snip, stop and comb the section down to evaluate and make sure it is even.
