subject: Hair Scissors Help you Achieve the Style you Want [print this page] Sharpen your hair scissors and get ready to style! Winter hair trends are already starting to pop up on our favorite celebrities. Are you ready for this? Many people think they can cut their own locks to get great, trendy hairstyles but don't get too carried away. You have no chance of success unless you have the right tools for the job and this means professional hair shears.
Now that those stubborn bangs have grown out past your eyes and your split ends are too tough to handle, you are definitely ready for a quick at-home remedy. So make sure you use the following tools to get a clean cut if you're not going to a professional salon. You will need a water bottle, professional hair scissors, a fine-toothed comb, a mirror, a non-carpeted area and a cape or towel with a clip.
If your hair is too dry when you go to cut it, it will be much too hard to get an even cut. Wet down the area you'll be trimming or cutting with the water bottle. When you use water, the hair will be much more cooperative and matted down, coming in handy when it's time to use the hair scissors. Next come the shears! DO NOT use the scissors you use for every day projects in the office. These are not made for cutting hair and you'll see the lack of quality in your cut, so don't do it. If you're going to be trimming your hair at home, it's definitely a good idea to invest in a high quality pair of hair scissors. A good idea is to always look at reviews online for any type of product before you spend lots of money on it. It's very important that your shears are as sharp as possible and free of knicks and scratches. It's important to store this investment in a cool, dry place to avoid damage or rust.
When your hairstylist cuts your hair, she likes to gather it into one section so it is easy to trim. To do this at home, look for a fine-toothed comb. If you get a comb that has wide gaps is harder to use because it doesn't create as smooth of a surface for your scissors to do their job with your hair. You can find fine-toothed combs at most drugstores or professional hair product stores. Now that you have all your prep tools in mind, know that you should always, always, always cut your hair in front of a large mirror. For example, use the one in your bathroom, it's where you're used to doing your hair every day and it will give you the feel of your routine to make things easier. Make sure it is a large enough mirror: never think you have the talent to cut without a mirror unless you have professional experience and training.
When standing in a carpeted area, the hair that falls will be so much harder to clean up. Stylists recommend you use the hair scissors on linoleum, tiled or hardwood floors to avoid big messes. On hard surfaced floors, all you have to do is a quick sweep when you're done. But if you use a carpeted area, you'll have to drag out that vacuum. Just pretend you're at your salon for this part. Take a towel or a cape and wrap it around your shoulders, clipping it at the top. This will prevent the clipped hair from ending up stuck in your clothes and bothering you all day.
Following this basic process will allow you to find success in your hair cutting routine. Although there are many special tools that are advertised every day, you don't need them. Use these basic essentials and your mane will thank you. Not to mention it will look clean and refreshed!
