How To Trim Your Own Hair | Natural Hair Care

Hey guys in today's video i'm going to be showing you how i trim my natural hair at home. My hair is freshly washed and i stretched it using my blow dryer i like to start by detangling my hair to get rid of all of the knots that way. I can clearly see how much hair needs to be cut off and, as you can see, my ends are a bit see-through and i hate that i love when my hair has the same thickness from roots to ends. I'M just giving you guys a view of it from all different angles so that you can see for yourself how badly i need a trim like honestly. I'M over these ends make sure you stay until the end of the video to see a side-by-side comparison. I'M using my hair shares make sure you get your hair shares and don't use the regular scissors my detangling brush and this rat tail comb for sectioning sectioning. My hair into smaller sub sections makes it a lot easier for me to shrink my hair and to ensure that my trim is more accurate. This is a process you don't want to skip or to rush at all, especially if this is the first time you're cutting your hair for yourself. So take your time and work in small sections now i part my hair from air to air and then separate the front from the back. Then i'm separating the back section into even smaller sections. Now i pull my hair to the front so that i can determine exactly how much hair i want to cut off here's a mini leg check i feel like. I should make a disclaimer and let you guys know that i didn't really care how much hair i cut off. All i was focused on is getting rid of these thin ends and getting my thick hair again. However, you can cut as much as you feel comfortable with this point. Right here will give me the thickness i'm looking for so i use that as a starting point. It felt so good. Cutting this i swear come true, hairdresser, anne look at how good that looks already, and i'm just going to be repeating the same thing on this side using that same point of reference and cutting straight across i'm going to brush my hair to the box, so that I can ensure that both sections are as even as i can get them. It wasn't really, as even as i wanted it to be, so i just went back in and trimmed off a little bit and yeah. That'S it. The first section is complete and i'm going to be using these two sections as a base or a starting point for all the other sections. I don't mind if these other sections are shorter, but it would look very, very crazy if it is those sections are longer than this section. So i'm going to start by first lining the new section up with the section that i already cut off and then trim it to the exact same length. Then i go back in and brush it in at different directions, ensure that i'm not missing any split ends. So i trim more as needed, i'm repeating those same steps on this side and then, of course, i'm brushing all the hair to the back to ensure that it's even now guys detangling is one of the most important steps of this process, although it can seem quite Repetitive, i'm not even gon na lie. It is absolutely necessary because if your hair is tangled and has a lot of knots, it will make the cut very uneven and it will impact your end results so make sure you detangle, both before and after every cut, to make sure that your hair is lining Up correctly yeah, so after i trimmed my hair against the bottom pieces, i just keep repeating those same steps. I also brush my hair upwards and in different directions to inspect the ends and trim more. As i see fit remember, i am not a professional hair, stylist or hairdresser in any way. This is just what i did and this worked for me. It gave me the results that i was looking at. I just want to reiterate that i did not care how much hair was cut off. For me, my focus was mainly on volume and not necessarily length. If, for any reason, you don't feel comfortable cutting your hair for yourself, then i highly recommend going to a professional. I will not be responsible for anybody, but you're in their hair know. So now that i got all of the split ends out of my hair, i'm just going to go back in to adjust the shape of my hair a little bit. I didn't include a lot of that process in this video, because the shape that you will get will be based on the look you're going for for me. I wanted my hair to frame my face a bit more, so i decided to go back in and cut the front a little bit shorter. This is actually a great example as to why it's important to cut your hair in different directions, because you see here it looks very even from the front of it and from this angle, however, when i brush it upwards, you will see that it's not as even As it just appeared, so i go back in again and i cut yeah and i basically repeat this step until i get my desired shape. This is my final result. I love it. Look at my pop. My hair looks so much healthier. Here'S a side by side. Comparison of the before and after it's like two completely different heads up here. I hope that this video was helpful for you in some way, thanks as always for supporting my videos, bye, guys,
