Use a Mirror: Position yourself in front of a mirror, preferably a magnifying one, so you can see the hair clearly.
Trim Carefully: If using scissors, gently hold the ear to stretch the skin slightly, which can help you see the hair better. Carefully trim the visible hair, being cautious not to poke yourself. If you’re using a trimmer, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use.
Check Your Work: After trimming, check in the mirror to ensure you’ve achieved the desired look. You can always trim a little more if needed, but it’s best to start conservatively.
Clean Up: After you’re done, clean your tools and dispose of any hair clippings.
Hydrate the Area: If your skin feels irritated after trimming, you can apply a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel to soothe it.
Remember, it’s important to be gentle and take your time to avoid any accidents. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable doing it yourself, you can also consider visiting a professional groomer or barber who can help.
