How much do you spend on haircuts? I don't spend anything because I learned how to cut my own hair. Today I want to share a tip for the perfect layered style for longer hair that is fool-proof.
During the late 80s a very famous salon decided to charge an ungodly amount of money to cut a person's hair with hedge clippers. But the effect was a lovely layered look. Here's how you can get the same look for no cost and without dragging in your hedge clippers.
- Bend from the waist until the top of your head is parallel to the floor.
- Comb all your hair straight down and gather together at the center point of your head.
- At this point you can tie the hair together, which I would suggest the first few times if you are not real comfortable.
- Now with a good pair of scissors, doesn't need to be specially made for hair, cut the hair in a straight line horizontally to the floor a minimum of 5 inches from your scalp, you can always go a little shorter if you feel you need to later. Just remember you can always take more off but you can't put any back on.
- Now shake out and style.
If your hair is a medium length you will find that not all the hair from the nape of your neck, or even framing your face, will be long enough to tie, mine isn't. That's okay it will blend but it will also give you bulk around the ends which will prevent the ends from looking straggly.
Don't toss the hair out, you can add human hair to a compost pile or sprinkle around garden beds to keep rabbits away from your flowers or vegetables.
