Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerWhen cutting your own hair, you may opt to divide your hair into 4 ponytails rather than 2 if it's particularly thick. If you're cutting someone else's hair, you might just need to divide their hair into more layers to make it more manageable. -

Staff Answer
wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerIf you've got hairdressing scissors, go with those, but you can technically use sewing scissors in a pinch: just make sure they're very sharp. -
QuestionCould I also do this with dry hair?
Community AnswerYou could, but it is harder to get a clean cut out of it, because the hair will move much more and won't stay put. -
QuestionWhy can't normal scissors be used? I don't have hairdressing scissors.
Community AnswerYou could use regular scissors; however, you would need to use new ones that haven't been used for paper or food products. Paper dull the blades of scissors, and therefore will rip hair out from the follicle instead of cutting the hair at the desired length.
