4) Low pigtails
If you want to sharply shorten your long hair, tying it in pigtails is the key to getting a good result on your first DIY haircut. In order to remove split ends you’ll need to divide your hair into 2 equal sections, and tie them at the same height with two elastic bands. If you have a lot of hair, it is advisable to divide it into 4, and arrange them at the same height before cutting. At this point, hold the pigtail from its end, place the scissors over the elastic band, then proceed with a clean cut.
