- 1). Wet the hair. If you want to cut hair evenly, you should dampen the hair. Use a spray bottle to moisten the entire head of hair.
- 2). Comb through the hair. Make sure the hair does not have tangles if you want to make the haircut even.
- 3). Use your fingers to judge the length of the cut. For example, if you only want a trim, you should only use one finger to measure out the haircut. Hold your fingers under the hair while you cut with your free hand.
- 4). Cut the hair in each section. After you're finished, use the comb to go through the hair again. Look at the strands to see if they match up. Use your scissors to trim any uneven pieces.
- 5). Continue the process for each section of hair. After you're finished, comb the entire head of hair and check again to make sure it's even.
