Curly hair can be harder to cut at home, and many guys with longer locks can feel reluctant to try in case it messes up the overall look and quality of their hair. However, with a deep breath and some useful hints and tips, a tidy up can still work out fine for anyone interested in learning about how to cut your own curly hair. Areas to concentrate on first are overgrown patches around the ears, sideburns and neck, as these will not only feel uncomfortable if left to grow too long, but will look the most obviously ungroomed.
Many people are already used to tidying these areas up at home, and this can be easily done with a set of standard or adjustable clippers. Handle this gently, as it can be all too easy to nip delicate ears with the clippers as you work. You will also want to avoid creating any unsightly bald patches as, even with curly hair, these can show up and spoil the overall effect.
As for the rest of your hair, move slowly, again working from the bottom up to avoid cutting off too much and ruining the appearance of the curls. You may want to use a shampoo and conditioner specially formulated for curly hair, plus there are several products on the market that can help you define your curls and make them stand out and hold firm for longer. If you are nervous about tackling curly hair, you might prefer to set aside several time slots to sort one smaller section at a time, although do bear in mind that if you want to go out, you will doubtless want to be happy with how your hair looks, even halfway through the process.
