A great haircut for long hair is just as crucial as one for medium or short hair. Long layers over your face will give your hair a bounce and movement that you will adore. You can emphasize them with subtle accents that complement your skin tone. Avoid using too much product - silk or satin brushes are ideal for long hair because they don't absorb enough moisture to be slippery. The most effective way of cutting hair is with a quality pair of scissors. There are many types of scissors for different purposes, from delicate embroidery scissors to heavy-duty construction site scissors. But whatever type of scissors you choose, it's important they are comfortable to use. The closer the handles are together, the easier it will be to control the blade when cutting thick or long hairs. To get the perfect long hair style, first divide your hair into sections according to how long they are. Then, starting at the back of your head, work your way down each section cutting as close to the scalp as possible. If any hairs remain on the pillow case after washing, then you used more product than necessary. This is usually due to poor hair texture or length; if your hair is normal in thickness and length, then there's no need to worry about it being too tight. Long hair needs special care too. It's essential to protect your hair against heat, chemicals and damage caused by wind and dust.
