Hair Fresh

Between those wonderful hair appointments, even the most famous of stars will trim away any dead ends. Dead ends will make a great head of hair turn scraggly in a matter of minutes. No matter how great the cut, the hair will look dry, dull and less than beautiful. The key is to learn to cut those split and dead ends at home and no one will ever know you are a self trimmer.

When choosing to trim your own hair at home you will need to remember...

1. Twist to reveal the split end. If you gather a small section of hair and twist the strand while pulling down, you will reveal the split ends. It is important to only trim these hairs and not the ones that are healthy.

2. Invest in good scissors. When trimming at home it is not okay to trim with the crafting scissors. You should have a pair of hair shears on hand and make sure to pay a little for the scissors. A $1.00 pair is bound to dull after the first cut.

3. Keeping it even. When trimming off the split ends, it is essential to cut the same length from every twist. This keeps the style perfect and the hair gleaming.

The first time you set out to cut those split ends on your own, there will be a little anxiety. This is normal. After you learn to carefully cut those split ends without the help of a professional, you will not only save money, but time at the salon.
