What is a safe method for cutting hair at home that clients should be advised against?

Using kitchen scissors for cutting hair at home is not advisable because these types of scissors are not designed for hair cutting, which can result in uneven cuts and damage to the strands. Professional shears are specifically made for cutting hair and allow for precision and clean lines. Cutting wet hair can also be a common method and is often done by professionals to achieve specific styles or manage curly hair, as it can provide better control over the hair's length and shape during the cut. Trimming split ends is a method that many people are taught to do at home; it helps maintain hair health. However, using kitchen scissors compromises the quality of the cut, increasing the risk of split ends and reducing the overall appearance of the hairstyle.
