Gather sharp hair-cutting scissors, a comb, clips, a mirror, and a spray bottle
Start with clean, damp hair
Decide the length you want before cutting
Section your hair into manageable parts
Cut a little at a time
Use the comb to keep sections even
Cut vertically for a softer edge
Check both sides for symmetry
Trim the back carefully using a second mirror
Reassess length before making more cuts
Dry and style your hair to check the final shape
Make small touch-ups if needed
Avoid cutting too much at once
