The COVID-19 pandemic has closed salons everywhere. To deal with the national hair crisis, Allure reports some people are shaving their heads.
After all, people with hair that's short already may feel intimidated about cutting it themselves. Still, it can be done.
First, start off with the right scissors, which can be found in the beauty aisle of any pharmacy or big box retailer.
You definitely don't want to use the same scissors that came with your kid's art set. It's crucial to use the right pair. Rob Louden, Barber Brilliant Beards, Boca Raton, Florida
If working with clippers, use the largest guard size available--usually size eight. Work your way down, ending at the neck at your desired length.
Then, take the next largest guard, and go over the head again, starting at the hairline.
If at all possible, get someone to help you! Tell them to be patient, and to be willing to go over an area more than once.
Finally, use a hand mirror to check your work in the bathroom mirror. If you don't have a hand mirror, use the selfie setting on your phone!
