Cutting the sides of women’s short hair can seem like a daunting task, especially if you’re not a professional hairstylist. However, with the right tools, technique, and patience, it’s possible to achieve a clean and precise cut.
Before you start cutting, make sure you have all the necessary tools: a pair of sharp haircutting scissors, a fine-tooth comb, and hair clippers with different guard sizes.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Start by washing and drying the hair thoroughly. This will make it easier to work with and ensure that the hair is clean and free of any products.
- Part the hair down the middle and comb it straight down. Use hair clippers with a guard to trim the hair along the sides, starting at the bottom and working your way up. It’s important to use the appropriate guard size to achieve the desired length.
- Once you’ve trimmed the hair along the sides, it’s time to use scissors to create the desired shape. Start at the bottom and work your way up, using the comb to separate and hold sections of hair as you go.
- Use the scissors to cut the hair at an angle, starting from the top of the ear and angling down towards the nape of the neck. This will create a gradual taper that blends the shorter hair at the sides with the longer hair at the back.
- Repeat this process on the other side, making sure to match the length and angle of the first side.
- Finally, check your work and make any necessary adjustments. Use the comb and scissors to blend any uneven areas and ensure that the sides are symmetrical.
Remember, cutting hair takes practice and patience. If you’re unsure of your ability, it’s always best to seek the help of a professional hairstylist. With time and practice, however, you’ll be able to confidently cut the sides of women’s short hair and achieve the desired look.
