When do I start cutting my own hair?

I have been cutting my hair for the last years, and I'm happy with the results. I'm saving lots of money as well, as I have a short fringe and it grows horribly quickly, making me have to cut it once every two weeks. I'm not using a professional hair cutting kit, but just normal scissors. Cutting your own hair can be easy or difficult depending on your haircut, but with practice anyone can do it. If you're afraid of messing up your haircut, you can try first cutting just small bits of your hair, and then trying to cut different parts and so on. Of course, if you mess up, you can go to the hair salon to get it fixed, so don't be afraid of trying

My dad has hair clippers and he'll occasionally use them on himself. He has super short hair to begin with so he just puts on a #2 blade and trims all over. The only problem he has is doing the line on the back of his neck so he usually gets me or my mom to do it. I'm sure it's a useful thing to have around, but I would imagine that cutting your hair would be kind of hard, especially if you keep it longer and have to do some actually styling and hairdressing lol. If you keep it around, I'm sure it'll come in handy one day!

I'm not sure but it seems you may have been re-gifted, i.e. given a gift that was previously given to the person who gave it to you. I have thick wavy hair and the hairdressers even have trouble cutting it properly. It can take a while for someone not proficient enough. I have cut/trimmed my own hair when it was short and I trimmed 3 inches off the length a short while back (it's very long now). I would never attempt an all over job...how can I see the back???. A kit would be no good to me either friend.

" Give me a head with Hair!" Like my mom before me, I Love men with long hair! Me? I am growing out my hair so the idea of cutting my own hair Never comes to mind. I agree with you . If you need a hair cut , Don't do it yourself! Leave it to the pros or a gifted amateur!

I've thought about cutting my own hair, because for me it's more like $20 for a cheap place to cut a centimeter off my hair. But I worried about it being uneven, so never did it. I cut my daughter's hair once myself. It was slighly uneven, but not terrible. I learned never to try to cut my boys' hair myself under any circumstances.. but I will trim my daughter's bangs now and then when necessary. Sometimes they're slightly uneven, but it's better than paying $20 just to get her bangs trimmed!

yeah,in fact, I have never tried to cut my own hair. i think it is hard for me. I will go to the barber shop every month or every two months.It costs us a lot. Every time, it will cost me about USD4.00; I am trying to find a cheap shop.

It is wonderful that one of the gifts that you got for Christmas was a professional hair cutting kit. Money is short and hair cuts cost loads. It will be useful for you and your two young kids. Some people are talented and can successfully cut hair. My sister is like that are cuts her kids hair very well indeed. I have tried cutting my dogs fur and I was useless even with a professional grooming kit. I am not good at cutting my little girl's fringe. I have long hair and haven't cut it for ages. I go to a barber to get my disabled son's hair cut. It costs just five pounds. I have my dog's fur cut for twenty pounds each. I have two dogs. I wouldn't wish to get a professional hair cutting kit because I am not talented at cutting hair. Good luck.

Oh, I did tried once or is it twice... It didn't went too bad. Because, I was just trimming bits off my fringe area, as it is getting into my eyes. I mean, I do that because, trimming bits like this cost a little too much at the salon. I mean $10-$12 for a tiny trim. Definitely not worth it. It is not difficult either. My mum used to cut my younger brothers hair when they are way smaller. Like below 12, schools in my country has regulations where the hair should be nice and short above the eye brows and ears for boys. Because it save a lot of money for her, as she need to take care all 4 of us. So money like these goes into filling our small little stomach. I mean, if you do know the hair stylist or the barber very well, I guess you are comfortable with them cutting your kids hair. For people, like my mum, other than saving that bit of money, it is also safer for her to cut our hair then. I mean, she will scold and she has her ways of making my brother sit still. At the barber or salon, somehow, my brothers never listen and never sit still, so the hairdo often stray... So my mum had to do the cutting. And the type of hairdo she does is like crude cut, the soldier hair cut... Haha... I am sure you can imagine my young brothers' look when they find themselves without hair. Amusing! Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

No way, I'd ruin it. Heck I'd hesitate to cut the children's hair, much less my own, and at least with theirs I could see what I was doing.

I've never cut my own hair, well okay I've trimmed it. I've had my ex cut my hair before though and he's no where near a pro at it. My sister took a class in high school for cutting hair and so when I can I have her do it as she'll do it free of charge. I may also have her dye my hair next time she can, not sure about that though. I need a cut and trim now myself. The hair cutting kit? Nah wouldn't do me much good, I'd just have it in a drawer waiting for my sister to come by and use it.

I messed my hair up once when I was a lot younger thinking I could do it myself and promised myself that I would never try it again. I have considered going to school to do hair so I wouldn't have to let anyone else do it..not because of the money but because I was mad they didn't do it right. I would trim my girls' hair but it wasn't a complicated cut...just a ends kind of thing. I'm thinking I wouldn't put a hair cutting kit to mush use either.

If I didn't have so much hair with so much oomph to it I'd certainly feel more comfortable about trying to cut it myself, but as it stands, I wouldn't try it. Not to say I haven't trimmed it a couple of times in the past when it was becoming a mess and needed a quick fix when I didn't have the time or money to get it done professionally, but even that was a task since I have so much hair. I'd feel more comfortable letting someone else use the kit on me if I were you, and only then if I was certain they had a steady enough hand and good eyes for the job.
