Cutting a man's hair at home is not easy!

Cutting a man's hair at home is not easy at all because it's all a matter of proportions and millimeter shades. However, if your boyfriend, someone from your family or a friend asks you to cut his hair, there's no turning back. To achieve a barber-proof cut, you need to take some precautions: first of all, you need to have everything you need on hand. Electric razor, good scissors and a comb are the essential equipment to cut your hair well and get a professional result even if we are not hairdressers. And if we were to make a mistake and make a disaster ... A nice buzz cut (or the dear old shaved one!) And the problem disappears!

How to make a medium short haircut at home

To create a hair stylist-proof medium-short cut, you can use the hair clipper without a spacer and remove only the hair that is above the ears. It is important, however, that the hair is well cleaned and hydrated, therefore it is advisable to cut only after shampooing the hair. If a few strands are missing, it can be remedied by applying a little wax and modeling it with your hands.

Alternatively, you can comb all the hair forward and then proceed with the machine set with a 6mm spacer. It starts from the sides and from the bottom to the top, keeping the machine parallel to the head. The same goes for the back, while for the upper part, it starts from the front area using a 12 mm spacer. Attention, however: the direction where the machine goes is always opposite to that of the hair.

To cut a man's long hair, however, you need to comb the hair perfectly, in order to highlight all the defects. Then, we proceed to cut with scissors, adjusting the longer locks and eliminating split ends. Pro tip of the cut: for long hair it is essential to use a detangling conditioner, to be left on for about 15 minutes to make the locks docile.

To adjust a cut medium-long, on the other hand, the best solution is to cut only the hairline, in this way it will be easier to keep the hair tidy without causing damage. Also in this case it is useful to moisten the hair to work it more easily and to apply the conditioner. Starting from the sideburns, just adjust the lengths while maintaining the shape of the cut, using only the tip of the scissors.

Cut your hair at home with an electric razor

Electric razors have different heads (or combs) and, depending on their number, the cut will be more or less short. For example, the number six comb keeps the hair long enough, the four is typically used for a classic cut, while the two is used for a military style cut. To use the razor, the hair must be perfectly dry and proceed as follows:

Pass the razor from the base of the head upwards, drawing straight lines and without leaving holes.
In the upper area, use a wider head because with this trick you will get the effect of a shorter cut on the sides and longer in the front.
The direction is always from the bottom up, while for the central locks you can help with a brush.
Finally, wash and dry your hair with a hairdryer.

Be careful never to change the razor head because if you start with a type then you cannot change. Furthermore, once the cut is finished, all the various combs used must be thoroughly cleaned.
