I have long hair now and I want to cut my own hair in a short style (or really short). Does any one have any tips on styles or how to self cut in a good way?

You may want to go to the hair dresser for the basic shape of the cut, then do any modifications at home.

I recommend that you don't b/c you can cut it wrong and then you can mess it up. Even though going to hairdressers are expensive sometimes it is worth it they can suggest what kind of hair styles are best that is what hairdressers are for.Also if you have a certain amount of hair give it as a donation to a place that makes wigs for cancer patients

I have long hair so Im able to trim / cut it myself. If you want to cut it real short, Id recommend going to a salon. Its hard to get the back and you don't want it to look choppy. They can layer it and make it look real nice.If you want to keep it long just flip your hair over after you shower and brush it out and get a brush/comb and go at with with scissors. I cut the sides a bit shorter than the part that lays on my back. (hope that makes sense) If you want a layered look, grab parts of your hair and cut it shorter than the previous length. Just do the first step use scrunchies to hold back the hair you don't want to cut.
