What to buy to repeat your salon treatments at home

What to buy to get a haircut at home

1. Professional scissors

If there is an opportunity to wait for the end of the quarantine, it is better to be patient and not take risks trying to fix the hairstyle with ordinary scissors. The fact is that they are not sharp enough, so the hair will begin to split immediately after cutting. In addition, you are unlikely to be able to reach the "blind spots" without help.
