Divide your hair into eight sections. You will split the hair like this: the bangs, the top front (left and right), the top back (left and right), side (left and right) and a the nape. Use your fingers to twist each section of hair before pulling it up to separate it from each other. Leave the hair on the nape of the neck; This is the part of the hair you will cut first because it is easier to cut the hair from the back to the front.

If you have thick hair, you will need to add small sections of hair, especially the top at the front and back of the head, along with the hair on the nape of the neck.

Continue to cut the rest of the hair. Once you're satisfied with the nape of the neck, drop the top right portion of the back of the head and continue cutting. Then, drop the hair on the top left at the back of the head and cut it evenly with the hair on the right side and the hair on the back of the neck.

Cut from back to front and cut separately until all hair is evenly cut.
Don't forget to brush each part of hair before cutting.
If your hair is dry before cutting, you can spray more water before brushing and cutting.

Layer the hair. Once you've cut all your hair at the same length, you can trim it to layer your hair. For a natural-looking hairstyle, you will choose to randomly cut small sections of hair.

When trimming long hair, it's important to create layers of medium length hair so it looks like it's been trimmed with increasing length.

Trim uneven hair. Once your hair is clean and dry, check your hair again to make sure everything is cut evenly and the layers you've trimmed look right.

After a while, you may experience uneven hair sections. Don't fret - you just need to trim it again when you see those parts of the hair.

Advice

Consider your hair type before choosing a haircut. If you have wavy hair, twisting or twisting hair will work for you. If you have straight hair, a ponytail or front-facing haircut is more appropriate.
Don't be too stubborn. If you cut your hair yourself and look awful, it's best not to try to fix it yourself. Go to a barbershop.
Always start cutting less than you intended as you can still edit and crop more.
Remember to cut your hair slowly and change with small cuts. You can do a few trims before cutting a completely new hairstyle. This way, you will have a clear understanding of your hair and how to cut it. Gradually, you will gain more experience and confidence in your abilities.
If you cut your bangs, you can hold your hair close to your head and then draw a horizontal line with a colored eyeliner to mark the spot where you want to cut your hair.
You need to cut your hair in a well-lit place. Low light increases the risk of false cuts. If the room does not have enough light, you can change rooms or have more lights.
If you cut wet hair, make it evenly wet, get it wet regularly with a spray bottle, and use a towel to soak up excess water. If you spray too much water, your hair will not be cut evenly.

Avoid getting your hair cut yourself before important events (weddings, birthdays) or meetings (job interviews, presentations) unless you've practiced multiple times. Because if you cut it wrong by mistake, you still have time to go to the salon to have a technician help you fix your hairstyle.
If you are under 18 and live with your parents, talk to them about getting your hair cut yourself. Make sure they don't mind cutting your own hair; Or they can help.
If there is a lot of hair sticking out, or if your hair is very curly or thick, cutting your own hair at home will be difficult. Instead, go to a barbershop.
