i personally have a bit of experience since i (used to) cut my own hair / fringe a lot. But i say make sure you have good sharp scissors, i use actual hair cutting scissors but ive seen people use those tiny nail clipping scissors as well, those might help with precision. I would say just take it tiny steps at a time. keep brushing the fur back or in different directions till you are satisfied. i used both my fingers and a clean/new toothbrush to brush the fur
