After the fringe cut that we have already learned to do during confinement, it is time to take a step further, what if we dare to clean up the ends ourselves? If all this quarantine caught you by surprise, you might not go over your cut before the hairdressers and beauty salons closed and you start to see your split and damaged ends .
In this case, but always with great care - we are not professionals - there are homemade techniques to give our hair a refreshment. We will only need some very sharp scissors (NOT the kitchen ones if you want to avoid a disaster), a comb and a little patience. No rush, we now have more time.
Cutting the ends is one of the best ways to keep your hair healthy and beautiful. The ideal is to do it every 2 or 3 months, although if you abuse dyes, irons and treatments that punish the hair, you may do it more frequently. The split ends are easy to recognize, the end of the mane begins to have open, brittle and unsightly hairs . This indicates that the hair needs a cut or 'cleaning', as they say.
PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE CUTTING YOUR TIPS
- Before scissoring like crazy and as if there were no tomorrow, we recommend that you first read this article in depth so that this does not end up like the rosary of dawn, and second that you ask yourself this question: do you really need to cut your hair ? If the answer is YES, keep reading.
- It is important that you know that these techniques are ideal for women with straight and wavy hair and with a very long or straight layered cut. If your hair is very curly or you wear a more special cut, the ideal is to always review it by a professional, so be patient …
- This cut is to clean the ends without losing the length or losing the minimum, although feel free to go up a little more if you dare. Of course, never forget that what you cut excessively without wanting to be able to reposition it, so go little by little and do not put a cut that you can later regret.
- For your hairdressing session at home you will need professional scissors, or at least, ones that are well sharp. With scissors that do not define the cut well you can leave the hair in bites and worse than it is, without a solution!
- Do it dry. Beauty professionals are trained and trained for this, so it is best to cut with dry and combed hair to see the result as you go. Otherwise you will not have a real vision of what you are doing and the experience can end in hair tragedy.
CUT YOUR TIPS AT HOME STEP BY STEP
- Tutorial 1: Without losing the length
The most classic way to clean up the ends without losing length is to make small rolls in the hair and trim the little hairs that 'escape' from that rolled lock. This way we will only cut fragile and damaged hair.
- Tutorial 2: Cutting the tips vertically
If we want a more obvious cut, do it in the following way. Pull the hair up through sections using your middle and index fingers and work all the way to the ends of the hair, only to the part that is visibly dry, rough and open that peeks out between your fingers , then cut the hairs vertically instead of straight.
- Tutorial 3: The technique of the two pigtails
With dry and straight hair, separate it into two parts and take two low ponytails just below the ear using two hair ties. Then comb the ponytail well so that they are completely symmetrical and place another two rubber bands at the end of the hair, just in the area where we want to cut. Without further ado, make a straight cut under the two elastic bands and then, if you don't want a straight cut, take the ponytail and make small vertical cuts to parade. In this video the technique is clearly seen.
