Tips on cutting your hair
Assuming most of you have a pair of clippers at home, but getting a fresh fade isn’t as easy as turning it on and moving it across your scalp! First of all, if your clipper has not been used in a while, consider applying a lightweight oil to it or it might snag hair. It’s also recommended to cut your hair dry, instead of wet, because wet hair will shrink in length when it dries. Therefore, if you’re cutting wet hair, you might be taking more off than you anticipated! There are some great guides on YouTube if you’re feeling brave!
