You Need:

Big Mirror
Comb / Brush
Electric Clipper
Newspapers
Pair of Good Scissors
Water Sprayer

Instructions:

First things first! Shampoo your hair nicely and make sure there are no traces of oil in it. Thereafter, comb your hair nicely and brush it out so that there no tangles. Don’t comb it immediately after your bath. Let it dry a bit naturally and then brush it.
Keep a water sprayer near yourself so that if the hair gets too dry while cutting, you can spray some water to make it wet and straight. Keeping the hair wet will help you cut it easily and evenly.
Now, divide your hair into two equal halves by taking a center parting. It should be absolutely straight and if you are not confident, please take help. You wouldn’t want to cut one side short and one side long and create a mess of your look.
Spread some newspapers in front of you so that the hair doesn’t fall on the floor and make it messy. After you are done cutting, you can just pick up the paper that will have the hair in it, roll it and throw it.
Bring both the sections in front of you and take one section at a time. Hold a small part of one section between your index and middle fingers, a few inches from the tips, precisely the amount you want to chop off. Cut nicely with a pair of sharp scissors along the line of your finger. Make sure your mirror is properly angled to give a proper view.
Keep doing this with the other section also and then bring your opposite flicks together in front of you to see if they match. Guys who want this to be done fast can use an electric clipper or shaver and just trim the hair at the back of the neck and the sideburns to look fresh!
