Bustle tapped three experts for their professional advice on how to trim your own hair at home like a pro. But if you've ever found yourself in a hair predicament where you can no longer bear to look at your split ends, you know that sometimes, you just have to take matters into your own hands.
Have him or her face you and look to one side to cut a side section.Not everyone has Beyonce-level clearance with their hairstylists and can get an appointment at the drop of a hat - I can attest to this firsthand. With his or her back to you, have him or her look down to the bellybutton and cut the center section straight across. Section the hair into three parts with the center falling down the back. For starters, have your son or daughter stand while you sit so that you are at eye level with their hair. Remove the hair tie and give your hair a good shake so your new cut falls into place. This will soften the blunt appearance you made when you initially chopped it into a straight line. Point the ends of your scissors into the ponytail and snip into the newly blunt ends. Holding your ponytail firmly, grab the shears and cut in a blunt, straight line at the length you measured with your comb. Use the end of a comb (Wright recommends the xcinx Rat tail Comb) and measure where you want the end to be from your hairline. Pull your hair into a ponytail on top of your head. Use the pinking shears to create a feathering motion on the way down. Most people instinctively keep their chin down when cutting, but try to fight that urge and keep your chin up for the most accurate trim. Gurgov says pinking shears, the special hair scissors with teeth, will help achieve a bangs look that isn't too blunt or harsh. The trick is using the right cutting tool. When you flip your head back over, you'll see that this maintains the length but adds a few flattering layers. Gather the ends and cut straight across.
