Some tasks should be left to professionals, but you can perform haircuts at home. Grooming brands offer DIY hair-cutting kits for amateur hairstylists. This Wahl kit is suitable for children with sensory sensitivity or autism and includes color-coded guide combs for family haircuts.
Scissors
Scissors have two metal blades joined by handles. When you bring the handles together, the scissors form a point that cuts when squeezed. Scissors, also called shears, are used to cut materials like paper or fabric. When buying hair-cutting scissors, ensure the finger holes fit your thumb and ring finger properly. SpotsToo big or small holes can be uncomfortable or affect your cutting speed.
Some sets include thinning shears, which add texture and dimension to haircuts. Thinning shears have sharp and dull blades on each end for instant layer blending.
Combs
Combs are essential tools for hair care and styling. Wide-tooth combs are best for detangling wet hair, while detangler combs have thicker teeth spaced farther apart for faster detangling. Fine-tooth combs are great for untangling tiny knots and teasing hair. Specific combs are designed for hair parting, such as rat-tail combs with long, thin handles for creating straight parts or cutting combs with longer teeth for defined parting lines.
Hand Mirror
Hand mirrors are portable beauty mirrors used for personal grooming tasks like trimming hair or applying makeup. Hand mirrors are frequently used daily and can also be collectible items.
Learning to cut your hair is possible by watching tutorial videos online. Once you have the basics down, use a handheld mirror with a long handle for precision neck trimming. These mirrors allow you to see the back of your head clearly, and some models have adjustable height settings for convenience.
