Some just take ungekämmte strands in the Hand and cut off somewhere in the wild… and then wonder why it is uniformly,” says Nadine Auer.

Often, these don’t snap correctly and then while cutting on your own…”

And please prefer to start lower and then work your way up.” For the sides a hair not recommends cutting machine without a cable, so that you’re tangled up.
