Step 3Cut just above the hair tie
Step 2. Cut just above the hair tie
Lift a braid away from the rest of your hair, and grab the hair tie. Cut just above it and set it aside. If your braids are small enough or your scissors sharp enough, you should be able to do it in one snip. If not, you run the risk of setting tiny bits of hair free, but not as much as if you cut your hair without tying it.
You can use your hands to feel where the scissors are and do this without a mirror. With a mirror, you can see what you are doing but it is easy to get confused and misinterpret what each hand should do.
The hair will look crazier than the hair cut actually is when you initially unbraid it, because the braiding has imparted non-permanent volume to your hair. Comb it down to see how it will look in the coming weeks.
