Lockdown left many of us desperately looking forward to our next hair cut. For some—waiting for barbershops to be reopened before getting a haircut was not an option. Sales of hair clippers went up, and a trend of men cutting their hair grew. The results, as you’ve probably already noticed, wasn’t good; but, even though we’re all able to visit our barbers again, we got to thinking – what if you could learn to cut your hair?
That’s exactly what Broderick Hunter, the actor and model, has done. Safe to say that his ability to cut his own hair made lockdown just that little bit easier. So if you want a definitive guide to cutting your own hair, Broderick’s got a step-by-step guide to keep you looking your best whatever the situation.

Then you’ll need to know how to clean your clippers
After every use, you should clean your clippers. This not only keeps them clean but makes sure that they’re as good as new every time you use them. Cleaning spray, oil and a wipe through with a cloth should do the job nicely.
