Keep a spray bottle filled with warm water nearby so that you can keep your hair damp as you are cutting.

Be sure to use your non-dominant hand! Otherwise you’ll have to switch hands to cut your hair.

If you don’t have feathering shears, you can use a hairstylist’s razor. Don’t use regular scissors. They won’t give your hair a feathered effect.

If you part your hair down the middle, simply hold the brush at the center of your forehead.

Remember to keep the dryer moving. Holding the dryer stationary can burn or damage your hair.

Do not hold the dryer stationary over any given section of hair. This could lead to burning or damage to your locks.

If you use unheated curlers, you’ll have to wait overnight to see any effect.

If your hair is very fine, you may need to spray the hairspray while your hair is still in curlers.
