Cutting your hair can be a daunting prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My earliest memory of thinking I could be my stylist was at the tender age of 6. I’m not even sure what my motivations were at the time. All I recall was going to the dimly lit bathroom with a pair of blunt craft scissors in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One quick snip to my fringe later, I was the laughingstock of friends and family. So for most of my life, I have been content to leave my hair in the hands of a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But come last year, stuck at home for months in the middle of the pandemic, I grew a bit tired of my unruly mane getting into my eyes as I worked. Plus, it made me look a little unprofessional at weekly video meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armed with the power of the internet and online shopping, I managed to give myself a somewhat rough but presentable-looking haircut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re understandably apprehensive about taking a blade to your precious hair, never fear. The process is deceptively straightforward. Once you’ve done the research and made that terrifying first pass with the clippers, you’ll feel a lot more confident about the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being able to cut your hair brings with it a few benefits. As mentioned, depending on where you live, a global pandemic, your local barbershop might be inaccessible for months at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, it might help you save money, in the long run, to be able to maintain your hairstyle<\/a> by yourself. And if you’ve ever experienced how a fantastic haircut starts to look goofy as particular portions of your hair grow faster than others, you might be able to restore it with a bit of trimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This guide will cover how to start trimming your hair.
