Use your fingers to judge the length of the cut. For example, if you only want a trim, you should only use one finger to measure out the haircut. Hold your fingers under the hair while you cut with your free hand.

Cut the hair in each section. After you're finished, use the comb to go through the hair again. Look at the strands to see if they match up. Use your scissors to trim any uneven pieces.

Tips & Warnings
Don't cut too much hair at once. If you cut off a lot of hair at once, the hair will likely bend and cause the haircut to come out uneven.
Don't trim more than just your own bangs at home. You'll have a difficult time reaching the back of your head to make even cuts.
