The No. 1 Jordan recommends is having the proper scissors (or shears, if you’re fancy) to get the job done.

Most people would use ordinary shears, but they will leave a blunt edge, which may not be ideal for a stylish haircut.

Jordan recommends investing in a pair of thinning shears.

The thinning shears are more forgiving and do a better job at blending the edges, as opposed to a regular pair of shears.
