DIY Haircut: Step 5
DIY Haircut: Step 5 Now that you've parted with most of your dead ends, you can try your hand at a more adding layers to the top portion of your hair. Trimming the layers of your hair is not much harder, but you need to use a different technique to maintain the texture of the hair. At this point, you can let down the top section of your hair. "Use the two fingers to grab a section of the top layer of hair and again, slide it down to the ends," Nogueira says. "When cutting the ends of this layer, do not cut straight across like you did on the bottoms." It's important that you're cutting parallel to the direction of the hair with the point of the scissors. This step takes a bit longer than a simple straight-across cut, but makes the layers look more natural and textured.
