How To Cut Hair U Shape At Home

For a slight U-shape to the ends.

Pace 1

Start with combing your hair every bit straight as possible, removing every tangle. Part your pilus in the middle, all the way downwards to the back of the head. So bring the two sides of hair frontward.

Step ii

Comb each side advisedly until every hair strand seems to exist lying in the right direction. When yous're done, tilt your head back as far equally comfy and and then comb some more. You lot'll feel very silly doing this, and you'll expect featherbrained too. Just just try to ignore that for a while!

Concentrate on i side of the pilus at a time. You tin use a scrunchie to hold the other one in place while you trim. Comb the un-scrunched side while still tilted back. Grab the ends of your hair with ane hand (using your alphabetize and centre finger). Agree the scissors with the other.

When you lot have a house concord you can expect down on your hair again. Make sure that your grip is firm and avoid shifting any pilus strands when you bend your caput to look down. So bring the ends upwards and carefully trim off as much as desired.

Annotation: For a deeper U-shape, look directly alee in front of yous when trimming instead of looking toward the roof. You tin can also look toward the flooring for an fifty-fifty deeper U.

You tin hold the hair either like this: Or this:

I prefer the beginning grip, it holds the ends firmly.

Trim both sides of hair this way, and try to make them as fifty-fifty as possible. You lot don't want to end upward with hair that is shorter on one
side.

Step 3

When you're done yous should have hair that is slightly Five-shaped when brushed back. To remove the V and replace information technology with a U you need to comb the hair back and put it in a low ponytail. Bend your head forrad to look toward the floor. Pull the scrunchie as far down your ponytail as possible, and every bit close to the body equally possible too. When yous tin't accomplish anymore, endeavor to catch the scrunchie from behind your dorsum instead. Pull it all the manner downward to the end of the ponytail. Maybe you'll need someone to aid you with this so that you don't pull information technology more to one side or the other.

Please note: The paradigm is showing this footstep while looking direct alee, but I take found that looking toward the floor produces even improve results.

Now, bring the scrunchie at the finish of the ponytail forward, over 1 of your sholders. Become concur of the scrunchie (be careful not to pull any strands while doing this!!) and trim the tip of the ponytail off (this removes the 5). If your hair is too curt to reach, yous tin can inquire someone else to trim the tip off. Comb the pilus back over again and make sure that you're satisfied. If you've however got a 5 yous'll have to ponytail your hair again and trim more of the tip off.

Stride 4 (for perfectionists, not necessary to do, only highly recommended!)

If you're a perfectionist like I am, then part your hair and comb the two sides forward once more, while holding your caput up looking straight ahead (no tilting). You will notice that your ends are a bit uneven, so but even them upward (i/four of an inch or so).

Step 5 (likewise for perfectionists)

Finally you lot tin can comb all your hair to 1 side instead of departing information technology in the middle. Y'all practise this to make sure that you haven't missed whatsoever strands (This might happen if your part isn't exactly in the center of your caput). Snip off all strands that are longer than the rest of the hair, and make sure that information technology's even. Do this with the other side likewise.

When you're finally done, your U-shape will look something like this:
