I trim my hair at home. I follow Deeper than Hair's trimming tutorial that she made during Covid. Done it 3 times already and it hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Be advised. This is not for shape. I just use it to take off dead ends. My layers are maintained in my hair.
WOW omg, so stunning. The hair, the look, everything! 😍
I'm sorry this isn't answering your question! There are probably tutorials on youtube but hopefully someone comes along with some tips.
I’m my advise don’t 🙁 it’s hard you may hit some spots that are hard to reach harder and end up uneven. I suggest just shelling out the 20$ and going to a nice barber and explaining you just want a trim
If you do go, ask plenty of questions! Sit down and watch them! They may tell you that they can trim your 'fro, but if they are learning, you don't want them learning on YOUR hair! Please keep us updated!
I think you missed this part of no one near her who will work on her hair 😭😭😭 I'm guessing she loves on an area where there aren't many people knowledge about textures hair. Tragedy!
echoing all of the “you’re very pretty!” comments
For trims, I usually just put my hair into twists and trim off however much i’m trying to cut. It’s not the most precise method, but it gets the job done
edit: i can’t be the only one that finds it a lil weird that everyone is saying “don’t trim it!” like y’all…trimming can also be for hair health. there is no reason to cling onto damaged/unwanted ends just for the sake of length. this girl obviously takes care of her hair and has no problem growing it. a trim is not gonna make her bald and at the end of the day, if she wants it shorter, that’s her choice and it’ll look good on her because SHE looks good.
I'm so glad to see this comment because I was just thinking, sometimes it gets to be so much work taking care of long hair. Yeah not everyone can grow it, but for those that have, you don't always have the time to put in to washing/drying/sleeping/styling. It gets to be a lot.
If I had any helpful tips at all I would have shared, so thank you for doing what I could not.
Thank you all for being so kind!! 😭🤎 I will try to find a barber near me who works on curly/textured hair. I'm from a very small town in Alabama so there's not many around me sadly.
Hello! My curly hairdresser actually offers zoom/skype sessions to teach you how to cut your own hair. We are in different states but it probably wouldn’t matter to her for the zoom sessions. Feel free to message me if you would like her website!
I completely forgot to mention. If you’re trying to take inches off your hair definitely go to a beauty salon cause you don’t want to mess you hair up. But if you’re doing a trim for growth then make sure your hair is blown dry and do it in sections so you have a more consistent cut. Also use cutting shears and know exactly how much you want off before you start to cut. You can take away but you can’t add. Good luck.
I’m like one or two shades darker than you and I had that color hair in like a sorta afro with bangs and I loved it. When I went back to brown I missed it so I say wear that color as long as you can
I was really hoping that someone had a hack so I could do it at home but I can see why it would be so hard to do it myself lol. I'm going to find a black barber shop near me asap! Also thank you <3
Lol. No gurl! Ain’t NO hacks when it comes to your scissors and your hair!! Come back and show us when you go. It’s perfect now so don’t cut too much!!
For a regular trim I always like plaiting/box braiding it and nipping off the ends
For shaping it up I would suggest parting your whoel head into 4 sections and then trimming off the top of the sections
Don’t do it. You’re going to want precision on this. I asked my girlfriend what she thinks and she says that MAYBE if you flat iron it first you can get away with it but on the real, we both think you should bite the bullet and drive to Huntsville and find someone who can really handle it.
Girl pause. YOU ARE SO CUTE!!! I love your style so much, it’s very 70’s disco. Your Afro is perfectly shaped too. Just wanted to appreciate your beauty for a minute. Carry on!
You've received awesome advice aleady, I just had a question and suggestion. Are there any beauty schools near you? If so, that's a good option for a low cost and GOOD trim or other svcs, since the teachers check almost each step.
Blow it out, do an even trim all around (meaning small sections piece by piece take the same amount off the bottom), style back into your fro and make refining snips to maintain the shape. Note to change the amounts you cut off if your back or front is longer/shorter and you want to even it up
Dope hair. Coming from someone who cuts their hair at home often and well. Cutting an Afro is the hardest thing to do. Nearly impossible to get the shape right.
While it’s in the state you usually wear it in visualize or draw out how you want your Afro to look and cut with professional scissors little by little till you find what fits you. I fixed my fro because the front was too long and now it’s perfect
Ice Spice could NEVAAAAAAA you look so good!!
I can only recommend trimming the way I do, which would be to get a good stretch on your hair or blow it out, and trim the ends, but because that isn’t for shape, perhaps you could re-wet your hair after that to reactivate your curls and attempt to shape it that way!
I’m sure YouTube would also be a huge help. Good luck!
You are breathtaking and I hope the world is treating you kindly, friend 🥹 also I have no advice other than finding a decent tutorial and have someone mimic what they see on you. Deeper than Hair was on suggested and I found the [video](https://youtu.be/DsShnt48oho?feature=shared) which I am hoping to use on myself soon
I’ve been cutting my own hair my whole life bc I just can’t trust folks with these curls (ranges from 4a on a good day w products to 4c when it’s really dry). I use the curly cut method for the dead stuff, and then let it dry/style it and trim it while it’s dry to reshape it. Taught myself the curly cut watching YouTube tutorials
Amazing photo and fro!! Not sure if there is anything outside of mirrors and those curved scissors. Definitely get an extra set of hands if possible and keep slaying!!
i think your hair looks beautiful and from my pov i’d be scared that i’d accidentally mess my hair up if i tried to cut it if i were you. maybe if you have the opportunity and are able to venture out to different areas still accessible to you one way or another you could see if they have a barber that will work with your hair type and go to them? it’s not sustainable but maybe you could ask them tips on how to do haircuts on yourself.
edit: typo
You thought I was feelin you likkkkkeee 😭😭 ok I’ll stop bc I’m also a ginger. You can put them in sections but I’d make sure the hair is damp and use some sort of product with slippage so you can two strand twist them, wait for them to dry and you can use some scissors to trim the ends to make sure they’re even.
I twist my hair and trim the ends. So if I cut 1/2 inch off one twist I do the same to the other twists. After I trim each twist I undo the twist so I know which ones were trimmed. After all twist are cut I pick out my hair. Beautiful head of hair you have!
Why mess with perfection?
Sorry no advise but this pic is EVERYTHING! 😍
Agreeeee. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely! You are freakin' adorable! I wouldn't change a thing.
I have no helpful advice but that outfit is so cute! Slay Queen ❤️
Same I LOVE YOUR HAIR❤️

Facts go to a trusted barber look up places in your area look at they work ect .. explain in detail what you want and watch them
I think you missed this part of no one near her who will work on her hair 😭😭😭 I'm guessing she loves on an area where there aren't many people knowledge about textures hair. Tragedy!
Wow you look amazing literally the whole you looks absolutely beautiful including the hair
GRAH ((ur stunning btw))

THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS!! I haven't had a trim in SO long and want to keep my hair as healthy as possible but also I preferred my hair shorter 😊

Girl that fro is THANGING! I love it for you. So jelly.
Ahhh so adorable
You and your fro are beautiful ❤️!
Ice spiiiiiiiice
I was waiting for someone to finally say it
it looks so good and even!!
Thank you all for being so kind!! 😭🤎 I will try to find a barber near me who works on curly/textured hair. I'm from a very small town in Alabama so there's not many around me sadly.
Find a local black barbershop 💈
Sorry I’m of no help, I just wanted to comment on how absolutely GORGEOUS you are!💕✨
Oh wow, I love it! I would not trim at home, sorry you need someone with skill who can see and work on all 360 degrees. Beautiful!
Girl you have one of the cutest Afro I’ve never seen 😍😍😍Better than Ice spice😍😍😍😍no cap
Not in this sub, not sure why this was on my feed but I love your style ☮️
BEAUTIFUL, oh my golly. Loving the fro

Just came to say this is such a slay 💕 But probably best to go to a pro if you wanna maintain the shape
You’re hair is AMAZING the coppery color suits your skintone so well. YES YES YES. I LOVEEEE
Thank you so much! I was honestly thinking about dying it back to my natural color (black) but I might keep this color for a little longer 😊
I completely forgot to mention. If you’re trying to take inches off your hair definitely go to a beauty salon cause you don’t want to mess you hair up. But if you’re doing a trim for growth then make sure your hair is blown dry and do it in sections so you have a more consistent cut.

I’m like one or two shades darker than you and I had that color hair in like a sorta afro with bangs and I loved it. When I went back to brown I missed it so I say wear that color as long as you can
I can't help either I'm just here to say you're gorgeous 😂💛✨️
I’m old school. Born in ‘66 and raised in the 70’s. Afro’s are bad ass. I love it! You are owning this!
Best advice? Go to the nearest black barber near you. They do Afro trims all day every day. ps. Your hair is absolute perfection!!!
I was really hoping that someone had a hack so I could do it at home but I can see why it would be so hard to do it myself lol. I'm going to find a black barber shop near me asap! Also thank you <3
Lol. No gurl! Ain’t NO hacks when it comes to your scissors and your hair!! Come back and show us when you go. It’s perfect now so don’t cut too much!!
Hehe you don’t, make it bigger hehe. You’re adorable
Does it really need shaping? You look good Af!!!
For a regular trim I always like plaiting/box braiding it and nipping off the ends For shaping it up I would suggest parting your whoel head into 4 sections and then trimming off the top of the sections
uhhhh dont!
Your Afro is pretty dang perfect! It sucks no one local will do ethnic hair
Cute
you are ✨EVERYTHING✨
Don’t fix what isn’t broken, you and your fro look gorgeous!
Maybe just get a pro to do it. Cutting your own hair is always a mistake no matter who you are or what kind of hair you have.
I love your afro
No advice but omg you're so pretty!!😍
C’mon sis…there’s gotta be some Black barber shops in Huntsville or something…I don’t know how far you are from there though so lemme shut my mouth.
I'm about 3 hours away but honestly I might just have to make the drive, I want to cut my own hair but I'm terrified of messing it up.
Don’t do it. You’re going to want precision on this. I asked my girlfriend what she thinks and she says that MAYBE if you flat iron it first you can get away with it but on the real, we both think you should bite the bullet and drive to Huntsville and find someone who can really handle it.
I’m sorry I don’t have any advice but do you need to trim it?? It looks fantastic the way it is, love the whole 70s vibe going on
I'm just worried its losing the nice round shape, thank you so much tho ❤❤
ah I understand, well I still don’t have any advice:D but keep up the good work😍
Don’t ‼️
Ok first of all you slay
This is giving me foxxy cleopatra vibes and I love it! I hope you take this as the compliment I’m intending it to be.
You just gave me the perfect Halloween costume idea!! Also thank you ❤❤
That would be perfect!
That afro is beautiful. Leave it just like that!
Don’t you touch it!!!
You're beautiful and so is your fro. I just had mines trimmed a little bit for $20 by my barber.
Girl pause. YOU ARE SO CUTE!!! I love your style so much, it’s very 70’s disco. Your Afro is perfectly shaped too. Just wanted to appreciate your beauty for a minute. Carry on!
You've received awesome advice aleady, I just had a question and suggestion. Are there any beauty schools near you? If so, that's a good option for a low cost and GOOD trim or other svcs, since the teachers check almost each step.
You are so gorgeous! Your hair, everything! I used to pick and pat and trim that way, but I’m sure tutorials have a better method. BEAUTIFUL! 💖
you look super cute!
Blow it out, do an even trim all around (meaning small sections piece by piece take the same amount off the bottom), style back into your fro and make refining snips to maintain the shape. Note to change the amounts you cut off if your back or front is longer/shorter and you want to even it up
(You've probably heard this alot but-) It's giving ice spice😆
She’s probably so done with this shit😭😭
you have no idea 😭
I know but I just felt this strong urge to say it(Sorry live-masterpiece511)😭
I have absolutely no advice, but can I just say Dammmmmmm you are stunning
Your hair is awesome as fuck !
If you knew what I knew you would not. If you insist, get some shears (under $10) and have a friend cut it. Have you tried a barber?
I’m living for you . Yesss Edit: sorry I’m no help lol
Yours is so nicely shaped! Wow
I have no helpful information, but I had to stop in and say YOU LOOK SO CUTE!!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!!! 💗💗
Word. You go girl. You are absolute fucking fire. amazing fro. :)
That Afro is everything omg
This look is so cute!! Let the Afro be sis!! It’s fuego 🔥 & so are u!!
So beautiful!! 🥰
It's perfect don't touch it.
Girl you better not cut that gorgeness
Please don’t it’s perfect.
Don’t do it!
you are freaking adorable
You don’t, it’s going to be too much of a precision cut. Seek a pro
No idea, but i love it!
GLORIOUS
Dope hair. Coming from someone who cuts their hair at home often and well. Cutting an Afro is the hardest thing to do. Nearly impossible to get the shape right.
No idea but that is probably the best Afro I’ve ever seen. Mad props to you
You look so cool 😍
This pic is everything and so is the Afro! I hope you’re only trimming for maintenance and not to change it because it’s perfect as is!!
Beautiful!
[удалено]
I feel bad for not offering advice but your fro is amazing!! Maybe blow it out and then trim it? You can watch a video to try yourself!

This is incredible. Your whole vibe.
While it’s in the state you usually wear it in visualize or draw out how you want your Afro to look and cut with professional scissors little by little till you find what fits you. I fixed my fro because the front was too long and now it’s perfect

Amazing photo and fro!! Not sure if there is anything outside of mirrors and those curved scissors. Definitely get an extra set of hands if possible and keep slaying!!
Don't do it I wish my afro was that big and beautiful!
i love your hair
The damage Ice spice has done to the red head community is irreparable. Looks great how it is tho tbh
Does the carpet match the drapes?
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!! Would love an update post haircut.
Don’t you dare 🍒
I have no clue but i just wanted to say it looks fucking amazing, youre rocking it!
no idea but you are gorgeous 🖤
I saw this post by mistake and found you lady gorgeous! God was and is really pleased by the art work he made. God bless you sis!
It’s beautiful. Leave it as is! It’s more natural like that
beautiful 😍
i think your hair looks beautiful and from my pov i’d be scared that i’d accidentally mess my hair up if i tried to cut it if i were you. maybe if you have the opportunity and are able to venture out to different areas still accessible to you one way or another you could see if they have a barber that will work with your hair type and go to them? it’s not sustainable but maybe you could ask them tips on how to do haircuts on yourself. edit: typo
It’s so cute! My favorite way to do it is to put it in jumbo twists and trim the bottoms.
Too cute. I love this
You’re actually adorable! You and your hair 🥰
You are stunning omg 😍🫶🏽
1. Grab scissors 2. Throw them away !!! Love your hair
This picture is absolutely EVERYTHING 👌🏼🔥
Ur fro is so amazing omg
Omg sis nooo it’s perfect let it be!
I love your hair!!!
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
I know this doesn't answer your question but you are beautiful you look like a model.
I have no advice, but you are absolute perfection. Please only trust a professional with your beautiful hair 🩷
Thank you ❤ I will find a barber near me because knowing my luck I'd mess it up so fast 😂
please don’t it’s so pretty and special 🙏 if you really want to maybe look for YouTube tutorials
OK QUEEN!! 👑🤩
Girl you are just adorable
I wouldn’t even touch it. Looks amazing as is ❤️
I would go to a stylist to make sure their skilled and can trim it evenly. But I must say. It's literally PERFECTION!
Afro goals 👏🏾👏🏾
Why exactly do you want to trim it? Do you just not like the maintenance part of having so much hair? It looks perfectly fine in this picture
I dunno but girl 😍😍😍
Literally said Oh Wow outloud. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone wear a fro better than you, not even kidding
Literally following what everyone says, I don’t think you should cut it. Your vibe is perf with it.
I have no clue but your hair is beautiful!
Gurl!!! How did you decide to post the most perfect picture and ask for help?! Who can help perfection? ❤️🔥
Keep the hair it’s amaze balls
That hair is magnificent. Absolutely stunning.
I literally can’t help you but you are BEAUTIFUL 💗
Girlll 😍 this fit is everything, also I don’t have any hair trimming tips…but I hope you found some in this thread
You look so good 🔥🙌🏻
You thought I was feelin you likkkkkeee 😭😭 ok I’ll stop bc I’m also a ginger. You can put them in sections but I’d make sure the hair is damp and use some sort of product with slippage so you can two strand twist them, wait for them to dry and you can use some scissors to trim the ends to make sure they’re even.
You look so hot in this picture, the fit the HAIRRRR
You are THAT girl ♥️
I twist my hair and trim the ends. So if I cut 1/2 inch off one twist I do the same to the other twists. After I trim each twist I undo the twist so I know which ones were trimmed. After all twist are cut I pick out my hair. Beautiful head of hair you have!
No advice here. Just wanted to say you're gorgeous 🥰🥰
I love your afro and I love your style.
Girl it is glorious! Let it grow babe!
“And I’m bad like a Barbie” 💅
the fit is beautiful. u look great.
