The Best Haircut Kits Will Turn You Into a Pro
There are many things that should be left up to the professionals: gas leaks, home wiring, and anything dealing with a health diagnosis automatically comes to mind. These require training and an in-depth knowledge that YouTube videos and Wikipedia just won’t provide. It’s always best to tread with caution no matter how hands-on you think you might be. Chopping or trimming your coif at home, however, need not be on this list. Indeed, there are a number of haircut kits that’ll let you do the job yourself.
All the same, we will always advocate that, under ideal conditions, haircuts get handled by the experts. Barbers and stylists (the good ones, at least) are accredited, spending years mastering how to use scissors, clippers, and all the other tools needed to give you a ’do that does the most. But if you have a steady hands and want to give it try, there are grooming brands that have curated haircut sets primed for DIY adventures. It's a wise investment if you find yourself in a pinch often, and need a trim before heading out the door,
From options with scissors and fine-tooth combs to electric clippers with a selection of hair guards over the blade, the best haircut kit is really dependent on the type of style you want. For those with long locks looking for an animated cut, scissors are needed. The best shears will chop inches off your mane, give you bangs, and allow you trim around your ears and other sensitive areas (note: it would be wise to have someone else do this part). But if you have short hair, clippers are better. For tight fades and edges, opt for a guard with a smaller number, and vice versa.
So, if you want to forgo the barber shop and try your hand at cutting your own hair, we rounded up the 10 best kits that’ll start you on your path to becoming the next A.B. Moler. The end results, however, are all on you.
