What NOT to Do When Giving Yourself a Pixie Haircut (I Accidentally Gave Myself a Buzz Cut)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

10 mistakes to avoid when using clippers to give yourself a pixie cut. If you want to cut or clip your own hair - especially if you've never used clippers before - don't make the same mistakes I did! I watched a "Do It Yourself Pixie Haircut" tutorial on KZread, and thought it it was as easy as it looks. I was wrong.
If you're a woman over 50, my pixie haircut tips might be especially helpful. The older we get, the shorter our seems to get! And if you're a woman who spends a lot of time on the road in her camper van (like me), you'll love the ease and freedom of a pixie cut. Or even a buzz cut.

    I just messed my hair up a few days ago. Afraid of hair stylists in my town. I figured if I mess it up, I haven't waiting weeks for an appointment, hours at the shop and over $100.00 wasted for slow service and a bad cut to have to go back home and correct it myself. In the back, I clipper cut my pixie too high and too short. If I had the right mirrors, this wouldn't have happened. I'm buying mirrors so I can see the back. Glad I'm not alone on t his one.😢🎉🎉🎉🎉

    My husband gives my two teen boys their haircuts every three weeks using the clippers with attachments and clippers over the comb cutting on the top and to blend the sides and back. He has told me that cutting their short hair to look good is easier than trimming my long hair. My mom watched him give my boys their haircuts one day, and commented that he does a great job, but it looked like too much work, she would just shave them bald. I also have a friend that had an overgrown pixie with a mullet thing on her neck that was bugging her big time a couple years ago and she asked if he could cut short hair, as it is more difficult than long hair. I pointed out that he gives my two teen boys their haircuts, and she said great, I want mine like my older teen. So he gave her a boy short haircut using the same techniques as when he cuts the boys’ hair. He took off a lot of hair, and she loved t, so did her husband. If he didn’t have the experience of giving each of my boys over a hundred haircuts each, I would have advised against it. So given your inexperience with the clippers, there was definitely a strong chance that you were going to wind up giving yourself a buzz cut.

    Yes - I was going to add that to the video! That's part of why the experienced pixie cut demonstrators on KZread make it look so easy. They've done it a few times, at least. Sounds like your husband does a great job. Maybe he should make a video :-)

    Agreed, having experience makes all the difference. My husband always makes sure what is wanted before he starts cutting. Of course, with mine, my best friend’s long hair and my teen boys, it is same as usual. He starts with the larger number attachments up higher, then smaller numbers as he gets lower on the back and sides. We have never taken any video of him cutting hair, just photos after. I won’t even let him take pictures when I have henna on my head. I posted Pictures of my boys a few years back and mentioned how handsome they were with fresh haircuts and a friend who is a stylist commented that she really liked the haircuts and that she should learn to use clippers. I thought her comment was odd, as being licensed, you would think that is a tool she would know how to use. We do have a GoPro camera, so if one of my friends was ok with it, I could do a video, but I am not sure that they would be ok posting it on the internet. Maybe if they had their own channel and wanted it for content, that would be a possibility.

    If you're going to do a DIY haircut even a buzz cut, watch LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of videos before you even pick up that shaver! I've been cutting my own hair for years (usually into a pixie) but I've studied hours of videos before I start cutting. "It's only hair" is an OK thought process if your hair grows quickly. Mine doesn't so I take more time to study before I cut. Instructions on your particular shaver are there to help you use it. 👍👍
