Quick Answer
Use the Phone Holder and WYB Mirror accessory to hold your phone securely and position it for a clear view of the back of your head during a DIY haircut.
Why This Setup Works for Self-Haircuts
Cutting your own hair often means struggling to see the back of your head. A second mirror helps, but holding a phone to watch a tutorial or check your progress is awkward. The Phone Holder and WYB Mirror accessory solves both problems by combining a hands-free phone mount with a wearable mirror. It lets you follow a video guide while keeping both hands on your clippers or trimmer.
The phone holder uses spring-loaded clamps that grip most smartphones securely. The WYB Mirror hangs around your neck, placing the phone at a convenient angle. This setup works especially well with the Skull Shaver Pitbull or any cordless clipper, because you don't have to stop and reposition your phone every few seconds.
What You Need Before You Start
Gather these items: the Phone Holder and WYB Mirror accessory, your smartphone, a comb, and your preferred hair clipper or trimmer. A well-lit room with a large wall mirror will make the setup much more effective. If you have long or thick hair, consider using sectioning clips to keep hair out of the way.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Attach Your Phone to the Holder: Slide your phone between the spring-loaded clamps until they close around it. Make sure the clamps grip the phone evenly on both sides. If the phone is in a thick case, remove the case first for a secure fit. Common mistake: forcing the phone into the clamps when the case is too thick. Remove the case if the clamps don't close fully.
- Hang the WYB Mirror Around Your Neck: Place the WYB Mirror strap over your head so the mirror rests against your chest. Adjust the strap length so the mirror sits at a comfortable height, roughly at collarbone level. The phone holder should face upward toward your face. Common mistake: wearing the mirror too low or too high. Adjust the strap so you can see the phone screen without tilting your head down.
- Position Yourself in Front of a Wall Mirror: Stand or sit in front of a large wall mirror. Angle the WYB Mirror so you can see the back of your head reflected in the wall mirror while also seeing your phone screen. You may need to adjust the phone's tilt by bending the flexible arm of the holder. Common mistake: placing the wall mirror too far away. Position yourself about 3–4 feet from the wall mirror for a clear view.
- Start Your Haircut with a Video Tutorial: Open a haircut tutorial on your phone and press play. Use the wall mirror to see the back of your head and the WYB Mirror to see your phone screen. Keep your movements slow and check your progress frequently. Common mistake: trying to cut without pausing the video. Pause at each step to avoid missing important instructions.
