I’m about to dive into the chaotic world of DIY haircuts because, honestly, who hasn’t felt that wild urge to take the scissors and just go for it? But before you start channeling your inner Edward Scissorhands, let’s get some expert tips under our belts, shall we?
First things first, when you’re about to snip-snip away, consider trimming your hair a tad longer than what you’re aiming for.

Now, let’s talk bangs. If you’re feeling brave and want to snip your own bangs, try the twist method. Just twist them up, cut straight across, and you’ll end up with soft, feathered bangs that frame your face just righ】.

Alright, my DIY darlings, armed with these tips, you’re more than ready to take on the challenge of cutting your own hair. Just remember to take it slow, keep it fun, and worst case scenario, hats and headscarves are totally in right now. 🎩🧣
