Cut my own hair!

Money_maker

My problem was regular hairdressers kept leaving and I ended up with cuts where one side of my hair was longer than the other when combed over my face. I mean if I could see it when I got home, why couldn't they see it in the shop?

I use the pony tail method (shoulder length hair). I also use a razor to chop the sides around a little. I originally bought a special comb with razors in it but ended up using just a normal disposable razor. Only problems I ever have are with my fringe. Its a bit short n wonky at the mo but no worse than the salons do.

I can't be doing with the small talk and chit chat, plus where does anyone find the time to go to the hairdressers? and it costs soooo much!


I have long hair and have cut it myself for years and years. I used to occasionally go to a hairdresser, but I could never find one who would cut it like I wanted it ... same length all the way round, no fringe, no layers ! not difficult!


I used to dye my own hair, but I have an awful lot of white hair now, so I don't bother! occasionally I use a blue dye to dye a streak or a bit of 'dip dye' but that washes out in the end!

This thread is great!

I get a cut at the h/d once a year. Short neat layered bob.

Then I just let it grow and grow, and cut my fringe myself (with varying results!)

As it grows I put it up in a clip thing like a pincer, and have lots of fancy ones. Or just a ponytail. I can get a good upstyle done myself now!

Anyway, I always get hair cut in September so by the time the Summer comes around the hair is UP and easy! Tidy for Christmas parties.

All good.

Loving this thread. Have just given myself a trim using the ponytail method and am quite pleased with the results.

I have a hybrid DIY/ family haircut, with the back buzzed with the electric clippers by Mum and the top and sides scissor-cut by moi. Looking good and saving the time and aggravation of going to the hairdressers, as well as the money savings. I shall keep on with it.

I've been cutting my hair using the ponytail method, its so easy and takes a few minutes. i would like to cut my daughters hair too, just need to build my courage! I do my dads hair but he doesn't mind if its not perfect lol

Very envious of you talented lot! I wish I could do mine at home too! I have very fine, flyaway hair and after many failed attempts at home cuts and colours, I am resigned to going for a cut and colour every 8 weeks to keep it looking neat and presentable for work.


I have a male stylist - enjoy great conversations (no girly chitchat!), precision cutting and no pressure to 'treat' myself to the over-priced products that they stock!

I bought the scissors and waited a few days, should I or shouldn`t I?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained so I did it via the ponytail method, I just wet the ponytail and I cut maybe 3 inches and then I snipped into the edge. I washed it and already it felt lighter to wash. I let it dry naturally and wow, I loved it
