Even though you select a style when you put in a hair weave, the ends may seem thin or you may be ready for a new look and need to cut the hair. Cutting your hair weave at home can be a quick fix between regular salon visits or can be something you do on a regular basis. Cutting hair extensions requires the same technique as cutting natural hair. Different hairstyles require different techniques, but there are some basic instructions to follow.

Instructions

1. Wash the hair as normal and towel dry. Comb through the hair until there are no tangles.

2. Part the hair into three sections, clipping the top two sections up and leaving the bottom section down.

3. Comb through the bottom section of the hair one more time to ensure that the hair is tangle free. Once there are no tangles, comb through the bottom section again and stop the comb where you would like to cut. Grab the scissors and cut a straight line under the comb.

4. Comb through the cut hair, and make sure the cut is straight. If the hair is not straight, trim areas to create a straight line.

5. Release the second section and comb through the hair. You will see a defined line between the cut hair and the uncut hair. Comb through the hair again and stop at the cut line of the underneath hair. Cut the hair in a straight line and trim any areas that aren't straight.

6. Unclip the top section and repeat Step 5.

7. Comb a small front section of the hair slightly forward and hold the ends between your fingers. Trim the hair to create a straight line.

8. Comb through all of the hair to make sure everything is even.

Tips & Warnings

• To cut your own bangs, section off the desired amount of bangs and twist them together. Snip into the twisted bangs in a zigzag pattern.

• Hair-cutting scissors are very sharp. Be sure to keep fingers out of the way.

Keeping your hair beautiful, healthy, shiny, and flexible can seem like quite the chore, especially with all of the seasonal elements that can come into play. From the hair becoming brittle and dry during the winter months and the hair feeling oily, damp and lifeless in the summer to hair becoming frizzy when it is raining, many problems can arise. However, with a little bit of knowledge and upkeep, the hair can stay healthy and attractive for all 12 months of the year.


Instructions

1. Wash your hair with a shampoo ideal for those who suffer from hair that is brittle, dry, thin and weak. Hair has a tendency to dry out during the harsh winter months as a result of the cold temperatures. This type of shampoo makes dull winter hair look and feel silkier and shinier.


2. Condition your hair with a leave-in conditioning treatment, which works to renew and repair hair that is damaged, stressed out and weak due to the aggressive winter weather.


3. Cleanse your hair with a lemon tea tree shampoo. Lemon tea tree products are ideal for those that are suffering from oily hair during the humid summer months. This type of shampoo contains sugar cleansers and coconut oil, and utilizes organic oils in order to eliminate the accumulation of excess oils within the hair. The shampoos quickly go deep into the scalp to dissolve any oil build-up.


4. Treat your hair with an anti-humectant pomade. This kind of pomade is beneficial for those that suffer from frizzy hair, especially during times of excess moisture in the air, such as the humid summer months or times of rain. Anti-humectant pomades aim to increase the shine of the hair while simultaneously decreasing humidity.
