Cutting your own hair – a trend?
The basic rules for self-cutting are simple: stay calm, cut no more than an inch at a time, and keep your hair straight. Essential tools include a cutting comb, fine scissors and a rear view mirror to achieve a neat result. However, it is also warned that major changes are better carried out by a professional. Tutorials show different cutting techniques, from curly to layered layers.
