Any tips for cutting my own hair?

I’ve had long hair for years and i’m pretty sick of it so i’ve been thinking about cutting my own hair. I figure that if I mess it up I can always go get it sorted out afterwards, or wear a hat. But I don’t lose much from trying.

I’m thinking of trying layers and I’ve found quite a few tutorials and things online so I have a vauge idea of how to do it. Although every tutorial seems to have a different technique.

So far the tips i’ve picked up are: Use very sharp scissors, keep your hair damp and cut off small amounts at a time so you don’t accidentally take off more than you want.

Any tips or any techniques that you would recommend?
