Chapter 1: Fundamental Hair Cutting tools

Do you know the difference between a shaving razor and a grooming scissor? Do you know they look totally different, and they can do different things to your hair?

Knowing what all the different hair cutting tools are, what they are used for, and even how to use them is crucial. If you like to DIY your haircuts, trim the neckline of your husband in-between haircuts, or also if you want better contact with your hairstylist, this information can come in handy.

Who wouldn't want to save a few weeks' money? Perhaps a lot of people but not everyone can take such drastic steps as cutting their hair.

Various styles of buzz cuts are the simplest haircuts to do at home, but even cutting your long hair at home is entirely feasible.

If you do give yourself a haircut at home, you'll need the right equipment. Don't worry; you don't have to go to any specialty stores; most of these can be found in your local beauty store.

First and foremost, a pair of sharp hair-scissors should be your key weapon. For a simple, clean-cut without split ends, it is a must. A fine-tooth comb is necessary before every snip to smooth out the unruly hair. And, it's helpful to have a handheld mirror to test your hair back. You'll also need a couple of sturdy hair clasps, bobbles, and a water spray to keep your hair moist when trimming.

You may need a pair of texturizing shears (also known as thinning or layering scissors) if you want to take some of the weight out of your hair. And, for those going for a pixie cut, get some decent clippers, and a few different size attachments. Here are some of the tools that will help you keep your haircut at home, no matter how long.

And note, even if you screw it up, it's growing up again!

1) Hair Cutting Shears

Best for cutting, layering, and Trim

Hair shears, also known as straight shears, barber shears, hairdressing shears, or just hair shears, are a specialized form of hair cutting shears. One may ask, can I cut my hair using a standard scissor? Yeah, you can, but the blade on standard scissors is usually thicker than a hair shear, which means it's going to be challenging to achieve the exact cut and can hurt the hair cuticles also.

Shears are considerably sharper and are made convex or beveled to facilitate various hair cutting techniques. Besides, a hair cutting shear is built in the pivot region with a certain amount of tension, which is neither too loose nor too rigid, just the right amount of pressure to open and close the shears when you cut.

Tips and techniques:

Handle the shears with a regular scissor, as you would. Using the ring for the hole on the outer blade (the usually smaller one) and the thumb for the one on the inner cutting edge (the larger one).

Rest your pink finger on the tail-like tang or brace attached to one of the ends of the tube.
