I realized I need a trim off my slit ends. My hair is shorter in the back and longer in the front. How do I trim in the back precisely?

Being precise and trimming the back of your hair yourself is near impossible. go to a salon.

If you hair was a lil bit longer you could get away with what's called dusting in the curly girl community. I do it myself but it took years of crazy mistakes to finally get it right. And I only do it in between my salon cuts. It's just a trim...I don't even come close to trimming off an inch. I'd highly advise just going into a salon and asking for a trim and emphasizing just that so they don't take off too much length.
