can anyone here actually cut their own hair, successfully? (not girls. that's easy).
i wish i could cut my own hair. getting haircuts is the bane of my existence. i can never find one person to do it right, so pretty much every other haircut is a shitty haircut. on average.
it's a total crapshoot.
even with my usual person who, usually does a good job. sometimes she just fucks it up too.
maybe i should just start shaving my head. |

Doctor Adnan has a solution for your problem, floop.
I used to have the same problem. Now, my haidresser is a young and cute girl with very very huge breasts. I'm always happy to go for a haircut now.

i cut my own hair for a couple of years, didn't trust the local hairdressers, and as it was medium-long anyway, didn't really matter, looked ok. had a couple of scary moments, and odd bits of hair a lot shorter than others... but hey, it was cool. i've found a decent hairdressers now, so my hair is looking better.
Is it like today? Oh, oh, oh-oh. Then there followed days with kings, empires and revolutions. blood just looks the same when you open the veins. sometimes it was faith, power or reason as the cornerstone. but the furrowed brow has never left his face. he said, how did it come to this?

I think it is much easier for boys to cut their own hair than girls. All boys need is a buzzer/clippers and then you are done! How hard is that?

it's not that easy. it looks easy, but it's not.
every time i get a haircut i say to myself, "i could do this".. i watch them and see what they do. it's not that difficult.
but then, trying to do it to yourself.. with a mirror. it's almost impossible. you can never properly see what's going on, and you're guaranteed to fuck it up (as i have).
girls. . just take scissors and chop evenly at the ends. i could do your hair in 2 minutes ramona. (and i'll charge you less too) |

I've cut my own hair or had girlfriends cut it for awhile now. Cutting your own hair may be a little easier if your hair is curly (like mine). Cuz then you usually look better with your hair tousled about and it's not too noticeable if everything's not perfect.
Will probably start shaving my head sometime next year, though. Lots more hairs are in showing up in the bathtub drain each day, I notice. |

My hair is not cut evenly. I have layers AND I do it myself (ha!) so no thank you.
You should just get clippers and use the longest setting (or blade) on the top, and one setting shorter on the sides. Boys with short hair are way cuter than boys with long hair or some weird "style". IMHO, anyways.

I shave my head every week, it's pretty easy, I got abit of a Frank head, same hairline and all. The only annoying thing is getting the stubble in your t-shirt after you've shaved or my brothers friends walking in when I have no shirt on and I'm shaving away. I like to treat myself the odd time and go to the barber, but there's no real need to in my case.

I hate getting haircuts too...it's mostly cause I feel just ackward sitting there, not talking, while all the other hairdressers and people are chatting. I feel bad for my hairdresser, cause what the fuck do I say to a hairdresser? And then I think she must be pissed at me cause she's not getting to chat, so she's fucking with my hair...am I too paranoid?
I haven't had my hair cut since December. I'm growing it out. Why do I always end up growing it out during summer and cutting it during the winter? I'm assbackwards. The back of my head is looking pretty fucking messy...nay, my entire head of hair is looking pretty messy.
At one point I was using an electric shaver on the back of my head...I think it turned out well.

It has happened occasionally, very late at night at times that I have been very depressed, that I have cut my hair, and the results have always been quite, quite horrible.

I can do it pretty well. It just takes some practice and strategic placement of mirrors in the bathroom. I probably wouldn't be able to cut it perfectly straight but for the way I wear it I do pretty good.

Whether or not boys are "cute" has ultimately NO significance (in my personal humble opinion). But it really depends on what floop wants to do to himself, so my comment isn't really relevant here. However, it's another post for me. |

i already have short hair, and i'm exceedingly cute.. it doesn't take away from the fact that it's impossible to cut your hair yourself.
mattb is obviously a talented guy.
and el barto, what do you mean "what do you say to a hairdresser?".. are hairdressers not normal people that you can have a conversation with?
i know what you mean though, i usually feel pretty uncomfortable. i actually prefer it if i get a really chatty hairdresser and/or barber (i usually go to classic barber shop type places). then they can just babble away and i can go "uh hugh" "yeah" every now and then.. |

My husband got sick of having to deal with the redneck barbersops around here and started cutting his own hair, and it looks way cute. He does a much better job of it than I ever did. (Although his students do call him "Red Elvis". . .)
Oh, and Em is right--use a very slightly shorter attachment for the sides. You won't get a "step", but you'll look like a doofus if your hair is the same length all over. |

I hate being cut by a man, they're gays or rednecks. i'm not homophobic, i just don't like being touched by men or talk about football. I second Adnanounet, I like it better when a girl (beautiful or not) washes my hair. |

Its actually spelt Ag, but I thought you'd all get confused. As in 'Ag, shame!' Try it some time, or maybe just ask wilhelm what the hell I'm talking about.
And Em! Don't tell us you're wussing on us now! You can't 'wind up', its not fair!

Heh. I think that Em actually is an expert. I'm certainly more expert cutting men's hair than women's (my experience being limited to the new 'do I gave myself with safety scissors circa 1977). Unless your head is shaped weird or something, it ain't that hard. Just make sure you get clippers with ear guides and you're set. |
