Things You'll Need:
- Hair trimmer with trimming extensions.
- Mirrors
- Large counter top or table
-
Step 1
Decide how long you want the front and top of your hair. Most hair trimmers come with several plastic extensions which allow you to cut hair to a given length. Oftentimes one inch is the longest extensions available, that can be a good place to start.
-
Step 2
Apply the first extension the the trimmer and use it on all of your hair.
-
Step 3
Apply the extension one step smaller than the first and use it to trim the back and sides of your hair, but leave the front and top alone.
-
Step 4
Continue applying smaller extensions and trimming less and less hair on the back and sides of the head, sculpting the hair so that it tapers off naturally. Use a couple of mirrors to check your hair to make sure it lays naturally.
-
Step 5
Use the shortest extension to trim the hair at the very bottom of the neckline and above the ears. It can be helpful to get a friend to quickly trim and level the hairs on the back of the neck.
