How you cut your long hair depends on which hairstyle you choose. If you plan to just trim the ends, then even then you will have to choose a shape.

How to cut the ends of long hair if they are straight? Smooth hair should be slightly moistened with water along its entire length, and then combed thoroughly. After that, carefully cut, trying to adhere to an invisible line running parallel to the floor (in the case of a straight edge) or semicircular (if you decide to choose this particular shape).
