Before you start cutting your own hair, make sure you\u2019ve prepped it well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give yourself a shampoo and condition your hair to make it more manageable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towel dry your hair slightly to get rid of the excess dampness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re planning to cut your hair with scissors, you should leave it wet as this gives you a cleaner trim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I suggest using a blow dryer and thoroughly drying your locks if you\u2019re going to use hair clippers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Give Yourself A Buzzcut With Clippers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The easiest haircut you can give yourself at home is a buzzcut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple to do, you don\u2019t need any fancy equipment or styling products for instance, and it is super low maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how you can give yourself a buzzcut at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trim your entire head with a larger guard number<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you do is get a pair of high-quality trimmers like Wahl hair clippers that come with several hair comb lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The higher guard numbers trim your hair only by an inch or two. So you can use the guard number 4 or 5 on your entire head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will help trim your hair but still leave enough length for you to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trim the top of your head<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, use a smaller guard number (this depends on the length of hair you want) and run it across the top of your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to move the clippers in the direction opposite to that of hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover the area at the top, leaving the parietal ridge (the widest part between your forehead and beginning of your hairline) alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a smaller guard for sideburns and back<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you get started, you need to determine what hair length you\u2019d prefer. It\u2019s always best to use a number 1 or 2 guard on your sides and back to give your hair some contour if you\u2019re using a guard 5 on your entire head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re shaving your parietal ridge and crown area with a 1 or 2 guard for a military-style look, use a \u00bd on your sideburns (basically one guard number lower).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a line connecting the ends of your earlobes and follow this line to to shave the back of your head. This will give you a simple fade hairstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
