Best hair cutting tools for you to use at home

With hairdressers being closed for a number of weeks now, many of us are turning to DIY haircuts to keep our tresses trimmed up.

But to do a salon-worthy job you'll need the best hair cutting tools to help you carry out a precise finish (no hacking here).

Stainless steel scissors will offer a sharp haircut, and are worth investing in as blunt scissors can cause split ends and fraying.

Shears with serrated blades are also a good investment when you're learning to cut hair as they stop the hair sliding down the blade.

From scissors, shears, and clipper sets to full hair cutting scissor sets with all the bells and whistles (think clips, capes and combs), we've rounded up the best hair tools that really make the cut below...
