Just because you've done your fair share of watching hair cutting tutorials doesn't mean you've magically turned into a hairstylist. So, make sure that you start slow and then build your way up. Make sure that you begin by cutting as little as possible and it'll give you a basic idea of how well you can handle your hair.

When it comes to tricky hairstyles like bangs and fringes you need to be extra, extra careful or you'll end up messing up your entire hairstyle. And then you'll have to wait for ages for your hair to grow out and get it styled properly. So make sure that you use the proper tools and the proper technique to do it.

You can't use a kitchen scissor to cut your hair simply because it isn't sharp enough and will end up butchering your hair. You must ensure that you use the right tools here which includes a pair of hair-cutting shears. But if you don't have a pair at home, you can always just use your sharpest and newest scissor instead.

First of all, you need to divide your hair into multiple sections depending on the type of hair cut you want. Then when you hold the section between your index finger and middle finger, you must ensure that you cut your hair vertically and not horizontally. It helps give you a better idea of where to cut and how much.
