Is it safe to cut hair during the epidemic? What to do during the epidemic?

As we all know, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, many stores are closed, so people's normal lives have been affected to a certain extent. For example, barbershops are closed, and many boys cannot go out to get their hair cut. So how to get a haircut during the epidemic? Let's take a closer look!

Is it safe to get a haircut during a pandemic?

During this period, it is best not to go to a barber shop outside to dye or cut your hair, because the people you come into contact with in a barber shop are quite diverse, including people from all over the country, so safety cannot be guaranteed. If you come into close contact, the infected patient will be infected in a very short time.

If you really want to cut your hair, you can buy a pair of scissors and trim it yourself first, and then go to the barber shop to trim it after the epidemic is over.

Pay attention to personal protection in daily life, wear a mask when going out, wash your hands frequently, and avoid crowded places. Also pay attention to regular life, eat at regular times and in fixed amounts, eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, eat a diversified diet, maintain a balanced nutrition, exercise moderately, strengthen your physical fitness, keep a happy mood, keep a regular schedule, ensure adequate sleep, and drink plenty of water.

What to do if you want to cut your hair during the epidemic

In fact, as long as you master these few steps, it is very easy for boys to cut their own hair. Even if you accidentally cut it, don’t worry. Hair grows fast and will grow back in a few days! Without further ado, let’s get straight to the tutorial!

Step 1: Prepare your tools and wet your hair

Prepare the necessary tools, electric razor, scissors, hair dryer, comb, etc. Then wash your hair and remove dust and grease to avoid affecting the hair cutting effect. If it is short hair, you can directly wet it with spray, but do not blow it dry. Wet hair is easier to cut than dry hair.

After washing, use a comb to smooth out your hair to remove any tangles.

Step 2: Partition the hair and shave both sides

If you have long hair, you should first use a clip to divide the hair into sections, face the mirror, start shaving from the temples on both sides, and hold the electric razor vertically. Note that you should constantly switch the caliper thickness of the hair clipper. It is recommended to increase it from bottom to top.

For example, the caliper on both sides of the temples and the neck can be 3-5mm, and the caliper thickness near the top of the head should be 8-10mm, so that each length has a gradient transition to be natural. If any layer fails, you can reduce the previous length by 1mm and start again (the caliper thickness can be determined by the actual hair clipper).

Nowadays it is very popular to shave the hair on both sides short. If you are confident enough, you can do it in one go. Pay attention to the connection between the hair on both sides and the hair on the top of the head, and make the transition natural.

If the hair on the back of your head is difficult to trim, you can put your hands in front of a mirror and your back to a mirror so that you can see the back. Finally, after shaving both sides, use a razor to clean up the excess hair.

Step 3: Trim the long hair on top of your head

First, you need to separate the hair on the top of your head into layers, find the parting point, use the index and middle fingers of the hand that is not holding the scissors to pinch the long hair, and then use the scissors to trim the ends of the hair to make the transition more natural. Each time you pinch as much hair as possible, but trim as little as possible. If it is short hair, you can trim it directly.

The scissors should be tilted slightly downward to trim all the layering so that the hair does not look so abrupt. If the hair is too short to be held by hand, you can just cut it directly.

Step 4: Wash and blow dry

The last step is to blow dry or air dry your hair as you normally would to see if there are any obvious inconsistencies. If there are some minor imperfections, be careful when trimming, and cut as little as possible.

How often should a boy get his hair cut?

In fact, this has a lot to do with what kind of hairstyle you have.

For example, if you have a long haircut and you don’t care much about the haircut itself, but only the length, you can cut it once a month or even once a month and a half. If you have a short haircut and you care about the shape of the haircut, or you like a slicked back haircut, you should cut it once every two weeks, because only in this way can you ensure the beautiful effect of your haircut.

When do you need a haircut?

1. Greasy or dry hair

If your hair becomes oily easily or is as dry as straw, it means that your hair quality has been severely damaged and needs care.

2. Layering of hair color

Students who dye their hair will find that over time their hair will become layered and look strange.

Therefore, if you are a boy who pays attention to details, you can choose to go to the barber shop to touch up the color, or cut off the excess hair and change your hairstyle.

3. Like to wear hats and are too lazy to take care of their hair

Boys who choose to grow long hair have a habit of wearing a hat during the hair growth period.

However, if you wear a hat for a long time without taking care of it, it is easy to cause the pores of the scalp to be clogged and dandruff to increase. So if you like to wear a hat, start with your hairstyle and choose a hairstyle that is easier to take care of.

4. The hair on both sides begins to bend

Needless to say, many of the boys around us have shaved hair on the sides.

But if your hair is still long after being shaved short on the sides and starts to be curly and no longer feels prickly, then you should get it trimmed.

Because it means your hair on the sides is too long.

After cutting your hair, remember to take good care of it every day. Spending 5 minutes every day to comb your hair will have a very different effect.
