What do I need to know before I cut my hair at home?

Combing or Brushing the Hair - Before you cut and from time to time as you cut, be sure to comb the hair and check for the hair’s natural response in order to see how the hair falls into place. Visualizing Your Haircut When you cut hair, you should visualize the head as if it were divided into four sections. Dampening the Hair - Some haircuts work better if you spray the hair lightly with water. The dampness helps you see the natural fall of the hair and makes cutting wavy or curly hair easier.
