But if you really can not wait for it, you do not need to worry, we have covered you. After the connection-virtually, of course, with the best hairdressers, we have compiled these expert advice to cut your hair at home.

Chopped offyour own hair is enough for a challenge as it is; Do not make more difficult using the bad scissors, saysEmily Cooper, a professional dressing table toFreedom Hair Inc In Charlottetown, Canada. Using kitchen scissors, for example, can actually "scare and damage your ends" -She recommends buying a pair of shears of cheaper stylists. Finally, once you have the right tools and you are ready to cut, make sure to cut vertically,not Horizontally, as it makes a more natural cup and less blunt.

Cooper also says that taking a "less is more" approach is essential to avoid potentiallyDisastrous results.

"You can always go back and take more, but you can not put it back," she says. "If you take 10 inches of discounts and you clear, it would be worse than if you had only taken off, and messed up, two inches."

When it comes to cutting your hair at home,Savannah Walsha hairdresser toThe Industry Fair In Grayson, Georgia, recommends keeping it easy. She says to avoid trying things like adding layers and anything else more complex than a "blunt cut". Its exception to the rule is a fringe, because they are quite easy to do with yourself - when it is done with care, that is to say.

"You basically make part of the triangle at the front [of your hair]," says Walsh. "Align it with the end of your eyebrows, turn off the length, then go with the point of your scissors and clip at the end to remove the heaviness of the bang."

The way your body is positioned is very correlated with the way your haircut will come out well. That's why stylists are strategically moving around you when you cut different areas of your hair and not the opposite.

"Sit down or standing well and right," Cooper said. "If you move his head to the side to try to see what you cut, it will be twisted - causing inequality throughout the cup."

According to Cooper, when you give yourselfA standard cutYou do not want to shoot sections of your hair from where they would fall naturally. We run that your hair leads to "long and short long-long" cuts, she says. "We do not want mulus outgoing this pandemic."

Cooper and Walsh recommend, if necessary, have a second pair of eyes at hand to help you cut all areas you can not see also. If it'snot an option for youHowever, however, Cooper says to use mirrors and hair elastics on the front of your hair to match the sides uniformly when cutting - instead of "wishing you measured or visualized better" after the fact.

The most important thing to keep in mind during this period is that your DIY will probably not look like a professional because, well, you are not a - and it's fine! Cooper says to remember that professionals use high-end tools, spent thousands of dollars on schooling of cosmetology and have years of practice. In addition, she says, your hair will always repel, and the stylists will be "here for you when the world comes back to normal."
