Gather the Right Tools
Use sharp hair-cutting shears, a rat-tail comb, clips, and a handheld mirror. Avoid dull scissors, which can split ends and make cuts uneven.
Section and Trim Gradually
Divide hair into small sections, secure with clips, and cut less than you think you need. Work in layers from the bottom up, checking length often.
Follow Basic Safety Steps
Keep tools clean, cut dry hair for better control, and move slowly around ears and the nape. For layered cuts, use the guide method described by professional sources.
