How To Cut Your Own Hair →

Brush your hair into a high, smooth ponytail at the center of your forehead (the "Unicorn" method). Slide the elastic down to an inch or two from the ends. Cut straight across the ends.

Use a large wall mirror and a smaller handheld mirror (or a three-way mirror) to see the back of your head. 2. Pre-Cut Preparation

Best for curly or wavy hair to see the natural curl pattern before it shrinks.

This is the easiest way for beginners to get balanced layers at home.
