The Best Hair-Cutting Kits for an At-Home Haircut

Bryan Holt
By

A good-looking, at-home haircut starts with a quality haircutting kit. You can’t just reservice your beard trimmer for your head and hope for the best. When considering your options, versatility and comprehensive cutting performance should be prioritized. The best hair cutting kits should feature a durable, reliable clipper for added accuracy while cutting; a wide-range of guide attachments for multiple cutting lengths; and added tools and features to enhance your cutting experience no matter what your expertise.

If you’re looking for a kit to cut your own, or someone else’s, hair from home, chances are you’re not a licensed barber or hairdresser. So, as sad as it may be, instead of trying to achieve some fresh, clean-lined fade, you’re better off searching for a set of clippers that can provide you with an orderly cut all-around. Once you’ve got that down, then you can look into getting some scissors and shears to help blend-in the edges on a more sophisticated cut.

Brad Pitt

At some point in time, non-blonde American men decided that blondes really do have more fun, and that they were going to let themselves in on the fun. Brad Pitt (pictured above), Ryan Gosling, and the Carter brothers showed their handsome superpowers, and suddenly everybody from Joe Jonas to Jonah Hill followed suit.

The trend seemed to start during the COVID-19 pandemic when many of us couldn't leave the house to go to the barber during lockdown — and maybe having just a bit too much time on our hands — inspired many of us regular guys to go to the home coloring route, experimenting with everything from True Sons to Colorsmith to Just For Men to achieve the shining mane of a legendary lifeguard.

Hair can be highly personal. Our mane is a reflection of our style. Sometimes, we may take our locks for granted, not realizing what we've got until we realize our hair is going, going gray or is (almost) gone. Graying and thinning hair are a sign of the times – age is a factor in losing color and male-pattern baldness.

However, what are the odds men experiencing graying or thinning hair can eat their way to more luscious locks?

Are you sporting a longer hairstyle these days? Trying out a new style? Just want your hair to look different (or better)? If you're experimenting with longer styles, unlike shorter cuts, the extra length requires additional upkeep. Knowing how to properly blow dry your hair is one way to keep your long, luscious locks healthy in between cuts. It's not necessary to drop a lot of money on a top-of-the-line hair dryer, as many inexpensive options dry and style hair just as well.

However, if you want to level up your grooming game, consider getting a professional-grade hair dryer with the technology and attachments to help reduce drying time, eliminate frizz, and add shine. It pays to be discerning with your grooming tools if you want to extend the life of your hairstyle, or if you just want it to look good. That's why we've put together a list of the best hair dryers for men featuring our top choices across various price points for you to take your pick.
