Hello, and welcome to\u00a0Do It Yourself (At A Distance)<\/em>: a mini series helping you solve beauty issues from the safety of home. Of course, a DIY manicure or blonde hair refresh isn\u2019t going to change the world, but if it makes you feel even just a little bit better, it\u2019s worth doing. Basically, we\u2019ll be borrowing tips from our editors as well as experts to see you through quarantine without tears, tantrums or over-tweezed brows. Today, we\u2019re looking at an at-home hair cut. This is a touchy subject. To clarify, we (and most stylists we know) don’t really recommend cutting hair at home unless you feel you really have to. But our job is not to judge but to educate, so we tapped the hair styling expertise of renowned hair dresser Anthony Nader<\/a> (of Raw Salon<\/a>) to enlighten us. We’ve also got Edwards And Co<\/a> stylist Jesse Furlan to help you navigate bangs at home, plus a few IGTV tutorials for reference. Godspeed.<\/p>\n

GRAZIA: At-home haircut tips for the men in our lives? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Anthony:<\/strong> In my perfect world, a men\u2019s haircut would be a Harry Styles-esque disheveled British coif. Or international poster model Parker Van Noord\u2019s choppy textured bedhead. Even hippy Jared Leto\u2019s Gucci mane is a dream. If you happen to be any of these three cool guys \u2013 or similar \u2013 you won\u2019t need to be too precise with cutting technique.<\/p>\n

But for everyone else, the easiest way to even out weight and length distribution is a technical thing I call twisting and slicing.<\/p>\n

Take approx. one-inch sections of dry hair (never wet) starting around the hairline and twist each. Then point and snip the tips of your scissors into the twisted sections before you unravel to see how it\u2019s sitting.<\/em><\/p>\n

Use this sectioning and trimming method all around the head with a focus on the problem (longest, thickest) area. I love this technique because it leaves a soft edge compared to cutting a blunt horizontal line (this will give you chop marks if you\u2019re not careful).<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have shorter hair (traditional short back and sides) your isolation haircut might get a little tricky.\u00a0I mean do you really want to get a pair of clippers with a number three attachment on and zoom up your noggin? Good luck with that\u2026 and by all means send me your CV as I might just have a job for you in my hair salon when this is over.<\/p>\n

In all seriousness though, if you feel like you do want to clipper the sides and back just attach a much larger attachment on your clipper first and ease into it, dusting off the edges only.<\/em><\/p>\n

As for the top, if you want to take the length a little shorter, this is a temporary fix:<\/p>\n

On damp hair, take half sections of hair from the face to the crown area from the center of your brows to the outer edges. Hold the section between your index and middle fingers and point cut the ends. Never cut a horizontal line, and remember you can always cut more off later. Give your hair a dry off and now you’re ready for tomorrow\u2019s Zoom conference.<\/em><\/p>\n
