There are many techniques that allow for an at-home haircut. It is recommended that you start with a professional haircut to give yourself an idea of the type of haircut that you wish to achieve. After that, it is easy to do at-home haircuts that save money and time.
Haircut Basics
After getting a professional haircut, Prohaircut.com recommends that you measure the length of your hair on the crown. Also measure the length of hair above the ears. By doing this, you can ensure that each at-home haircut will look professional. If working with curly hair, make sure that the measurements are taken when the hair is pulled straight. When cutting curly hair, make sure that hair is pulled straight to ensure that it will be even and to the desired length.
The tools you will need to perform a men's haircut will be clippers with a guard, sharp scissors, a fine-toothed comb and water. Begin by wetting the hair and marking the length measurements that were taken after the professional haircut on the fine-toothed comb. Keep in mind that wet hair will be longer than dry hair, so add 1/2 to 1/4 inches to the measurement.
Men's Haircuts with a Clipper
Because it can be difficult to give oneself a haircut, it is best to have a friend or family member do the job.
For men's haircuts, one option is to use a clipper comb or guard. The clipper guard can be set to different measurements, depending on how long or short you would like the hair to be. In general, it is best to use a 3/8 inch, or 3, guard on the back of the head. Begin at the crown and trim upward. For the top of the head, use a 4 guard, or 1/2 inch, and hold it at a vertical angle. Make sure to cut straight across, rather than cutting in the shape of the scalp. After cutting the hair with the 4 guard, it is now time to switch to scissors and a comb to ensure that all of the hair is even.
Men's Haircuts with Scissors
With scissors, begin at the crown of the head and pull a length of hair straight up. Using the fine-toothed comb, cut any hair that is above the measurement. Continue around the crown of the head using the same measurement, and then move to the sides of the head, using the measurement taken there earlier.
After you have cut all of the hair around the crown, sides and back of the head, dry the hair. After drying the hair, check for any parts of the hair that do not match the desired length and trim them. Finally, check to see that is it even according to the eyes and ears.
