Amaze your friends by cutting your own hair as good if not better than the salon can. Better yet you save $100's of dollars and time. Lots of time.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

You Ready! Wet your hair down thoroughly or just plan on doing it when you get out of the shower/bath. Be sure to either have a mirror handy or be standing in front of one.
Step 2

Now, flip your head over and bring all of your Hair to the front as if you were going to put it in a pony tail. Comb your hair straight down. Decide how much shorter you want your hair to be in inches.
Step 3

Now starting from the longest hair, estimate your measurement, then firmly grab. Cut evenly an imaginary line straight across. Your done. Flip your head back over. Sometimes I have to trim a few stray pieces but other than that, it works every time.

Tips & Warnings

Exercise good hygeine after your through and discard the hair on the floor. I sometimes stand in my bathtub so that I can pick up the longer pieces and then wash the rest down the drain.
Make sure to practice with your scissors and get comfortable using them in the upside down position so that you don't lose your balance and fall or cut yourself.
