It’s not easy to cut the hair on the back of your head yourself. You need to prepare two mirrors, one hanging on the wall and one hand held, to be able to see the hair in the back. When using the trimmer, you need to create a limit line first and move the trimmer up to that limit. If you have long hair and want to use scissors, lower your head to push it forward and brush it straight. Regardless of whether you use a trimmer or scissors, you should be careful to cut each small section of hair to ensure a beautiful cut.
Steps
Using the trimmer

Stand with your back to the wall mirror. To cut the hair at the back of your head, you need to turn your face to the opposite side of the large mirror. Bathroom mirrors are suitable for this. [1] X Research Source
- If you don’t have a wall mirror, you can use the mirror on the vanity.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e3/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e3/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Have someone hold a mirror so you can see the back of your head. Using a hand mirror or a small makeup mirror is best. You need to experiment to find the best angle to help you see the hair at the back of your head. Ask a friend or relative to help you and have them adjust the mirror until you can see the back of your head clearly. [2] X Research Source
- A small vanity mirror that hangs on the wall and can be easily adjusted to an angle is a suitable alternative if you do not have a support person.
- Head slightly down to create a straight line along the neck.

Place the trimmer with the blade facing up. The teeth of the blade should point towards the back of the neck. The blade will be parallel to the ground. [3] X Research Sources
- Change the trimmer handle throughout the process. For example, when you cut the hair on the right side of your neck, hold the trimmer with your right hand, and switch hands while moving from side to side.
- You also need to change the mirror handle when changing the trimmer handle. If possible, ask a friend or relative to hold the mirror for you.

Shave a horizontal line at the back of the neck. You need to find the natural hairline and shave a line along the hairline. This could be the hairline from a previous haircut. [4] X Research Sources
- Always look in the mirror while you shave the back of your neck. Try to shave a line that is both straight and neat.
- Try to stick to the natural hairline for best results.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/40/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/40/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Turn the trimmer upside down. At this point, you need to rotate the trimmer in the opposite direction from last time. Make sure the teeth of the blade are facing up. [5] X Research Sources
- Thus, you can shave your hair in an upward direction towards the created limit line.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bf/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shave in an upward direction from the bottom of the neck to the contour line. Shave short vertical lines from the end of the hair on your neck to the contour line you just created. Continue shaving the vertical sections towards the limit line until there is no more hair below that line. [6] X Research Sources
- Make sure you only shave the hair below the created limit line. Tie or clip your hair up if you don’t want to cut it.
- This is a way to get rid of the unshaven hair on the neck and give it a nice shave.
- Shave this section of hair slowly and evenly to avoid shaving too high. [7] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Shave the corners of your neck if you like a rounded shave. Create a small rounded border on the top of the hair on the neck. Next, shave the small section of hair outside the contour line as you did in the previous step. [8] X Research Sources
- While creating rounded corners, you can also check to see if any hair remains behind the ears.
Use scissors
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c2/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c2/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy hair clippers. Barber scissors are available in most supermarkets, and are designed specifically for cutting hair. These scissors help you cut nice lines and prevent split ends. [9] X Research Source
- Do not cut your hair with paper scissors, craft scissors, or kitchen scissors.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f9/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f9/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Toss your hair forward and comb it. You need to lower your head lower than your neck, so that all the hair is pushed forward. Comb your hair to the front and make sure it’s not tangled.
- You can choose to let your hair dry or wet. If your hair is wet, keep in mind that wet hair when dry will slightly shorten and swell.
- Moreover, you can also easily see the current hair layers when the hair is pushed forward.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut the end of the inner layer of hair while the hair is pushed to the front. The hair on the inside will be the hair on the outside when in a normal state. Carefully trim the ends of your hair to remove damaged or split ends. [10] X Research Source
- Cut only small sections of hair, and check your hair in the mirror regularly for its length. You don’t have to push your hair back to check it out in the mirror, because just tilting your head slightly to the side will do.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/df/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/df/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut small sections of hair until the hair is the desired length. Even though you want a quick haircut, it’s still a good idea to cut small sections to avoid making mistakes. You should not cut more than 2.5cm of hair at a time. [11] X Research Source
- If you accidentally cut a section of your hair shorter than you wanted, you must cut all of your hair to the same length. However, if you’re only cutting very short pieces, you can always cut more.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px- Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Cut-the- Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-the-Back-of-Your-Hair-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Toss your hair back and check your hairstyle in front of the mirror. Stand with your back to a wall mirror, such as a bathroom mirror, and hold a small mirror in front of you. Find an angle that lets you see the hair at the back of your head. [12] X Research Source
- If you see that the hair at the back of your head is uneven when you look in the mirror, you can always push your hair forward and adjust it.
Warning
- If you make a noticeable mistake while cutting the back of your head, don’t try to correct the mistake yourself as the result could be worse. You should go to the barber shop, and only cut your own hair again when the hair has grown.

- Mirror on the wall
