Separate Your Face-Framers<\/span><\/h2>\n

First things first, split your hair in half on each side of your center part. Once your hair is parted into sections, you can clip the back section away. At the very front of your head, pull a small piece from each side of your center part forward. These will be your face-framers.<\/p>\n

Nigella recommends doing this trim on straightened hair to make sure your cut is minimal and precise. A tiny curl can comprise of quite a bit of hair, so blowing out your curls leaves less room for error.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lightly Trim Your Reference Pieces<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Holding your face-framers together with your index and middle fingers, use your shears to lightly trim about a 1\/4 inch from the ends. This will be the reference piece\u2014 or guide\u2014for the rest of your bangs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Clip Your Full Length Away From Your Bangs<\/span><\/h2>\n

Using your comb, make a part to establish where your bangs end and your full-length cut begins. Then clip away whatever goes past that point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Create Another Guide For the Rest of Your Hair<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Release the clips at the back of your hair and divide it again into two more sections. Next, you’ll be repeating the first two steps by creating a reference piece, or guide, for the full-length section of your hair. Comb this section forward, or away from its natural falling position. Nigella says that this method, called over-directing, ensures that “it doesn’t feel like you’re cutting more than you’re actually cutting.”<\/p>\n

At this point, the key to finding your guide is determining where your cut gets longer and heavier from your bangs. Once you find that point, trim through as desired with your clippers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Remove the Clips and Even-Out the Back Section<\/span><\/h2>\n

After releasing the clip at back of your hair, use your clippers to connect the front and back full-length sections by trimming them to match your guide piece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Use Clippers and a Comb to Trim the Back<\/span><\/h2>\n

To get a precise trim at the back, over-direct that section and then push it forward with your comb. Stop the comb at the section that needs to be trimmed and clip whatever is hanging out. To even it once the comb is out, face the clipper backward toward this section, and slowly trim.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You did it! Now all that’s left to do is repeat it on the opposite side. If you’d like to give your trim some shape, take pieces and over direct them to the front of your head. Then\u00a0examine your ends for outliers and snip at an angle using shears.<\/p>\n

Once the trim is all done, Nigella recommends smoothing out flyaways with Eden Bodyworks’ Papaya Castor Conditioning Hairdress. And voil\u00e0! You’ve mastered a DIY trim on natural hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
