\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Men\u2019s hairstyles can look overgrown quickly, and many men take a trip to the barber shop biweekly. But you can look sharp even when you can\u2019t get to the barber. Whether you need a quick buzz on the neck or a trim on the top, use these techniques at home to maintain your clean cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather Tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to drain your bank account for professional equipment, but it will pay to have a few tools on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair clippers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can use multi-purpose clippers<\/a> with a variety of attachment sizes to buzz the sides, remove length, or trim your beard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapered barber comb<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A comb with both small and large teeth is ideal to groom coarse and fine hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towel<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Place a towel over your shoulders to catch loose hair. Cut your hair over a floor that\u2019s easy to sweep to make cleaning up easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mirrors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Use a small handheld mirror in front of a larger mirror to see the back of your head. A tri-view medicine cabinet can also work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips From the Professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Follow these guidelines to get a professional-looking cut at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on unkempt areas first<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Maintain the perimeter<\/a> of your hair (around the ears and back of the neck) to extend the life of a haircut for a few weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use professional shears<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Regular scissors are too dull to cut hair cleanly. Invest in a good pair of professional sharp shears<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with a high guard<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When using hair clippers, start with a high guard<\/a> and work your way down to ensure you don\u2019t take off too much length. An eight guard will remove about an inch of length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful with wet hair<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While hair is easier to cut when wet, it\u2019s difficult to predict how it will lay once dry. Use clippers on dry hair and spritz water before trimming longer hair with shears, but cut less than normal<\/a> to err on the safe side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask for help<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning up the back of your neck is no easy task. If you can, ask a family member or friend for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cutting men\u2019s hair can be tedious. If possible, ask someone help, especially for the back section. Whether you have help or not, always err on the safe side and cut less off than you normally would to save room for error.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
