No matter how precise you are while cutting, you will probably miss a few portions which you will notice later, so instead of waiting for that to happen, just brush or comb the hair down and look for any layers which might seem uneven to you. After locating the stray layer just cut that portion and comb the hair again, you need to continue doing this until the layers are even.
