Default Haircut!

I need a haircut. Really bad. But I hate getting them. I have to sit in a chair for like, forever, and then ask for it to get cut a little shorter, more waiting... That's why I only get my hair cut, like, three or four times a year.


What about you folks? How often do you get a cut? Do you cut it yourself? Could you tell me how?

Gah, freaking hair in my face!

I want my own clipper to cut it myself, but I still haven't gotten one, idk why. But, yeah, I go every 2 months ish because I like my hair short and if I can, I go home and shower right after.

I get a hair cut every 2 weeks. My barber is mobile, so he comes to me at my convenience.

When I wake up looking like Simba, it's time to get my hair cut. A guy opened a barber shop in the building next door, and I've been going there, because he's really nice and does a good job.

I hate getting my hair cut & love that I grew it long again!

If you don't like going to get your hair cut, maybe you can get one of those home hair trimmer thingies. My mum has one & it seems to get the job done for my dad OK...

Default Re: Haircut!

I didn't have a haircut throughout 2010 and it got really irritating near the end of the year, but I now have a haircut every four or so months, on the instance of a certain figurehead.

That being said, I really want to grow my hair long (or longish) again, as short hair really feels odd on me.

My hair grows really fast as well, which is pretty annoying cause it means I have to get it cut more often which I don't enjoy. Getting my haircut just results in awkward conversations with my hairdresser, but she is really good

Default Re: Haircut!

My hair is cut every three weeks, like clockwork. I get it buzzed short, to like a 1 or a 2 on the back and sides, I'm not really sure what my stylist uses, and then it's faded up the back with bangs in the front. It looks sort of like this except shorter and thinner. I have to straighten it every morning which is a total pain in the ass sometimes but that's the price we pay for beauty.

I've considered cutting it myself, but I don't know how. The first time I cut my own hair (the night before a job interview) it didn't look good. But the next time it looked better, so...

The barbershop I went to last time, there was nothing to do but sit and look at a TV (with my hearing problems, I coudn't hear it) or stare at a large poster of a muscular, shirtless, sweat-drenched male model. Maybe I'll go back there.

I wouldn't try to cut more than a centimetre or so off yourself. It's far to confusing (for me, anyway) trying to operate scissors in a mirror, cos it's all inverted, and you can't see the back and so on.

Maintenance is okay to do yourself though; i.e. every 2 weeks or so just go over and snip of the ends all over, allowing you to keep the same style relatively easily - although if you do this for too long it will probably end up being completely different to how it started.

I need it about seven or so centimeters shorter, though (now that I think about it, my last haircut might have been about five months ago). Maybe I'll get it done by a person, then try occasional maintanance...

It's kinda sad how many people hate it. Having your hair brushed at least is one of the few joys of life. Personally yeah I hated hair cuts when I was young and I mean I still don't always like going, but when someone brushes my hair, that part is just extremely soothing, especially if they do it right.

I never brush my hair, unless I'm about to get it cut. I like looking like I just woke up.

Default Re: Haircut!

I have a set of clippers, so I do my own. It's much cheaper. On the other hand, it can be aggravating trying to even it all out, and the fretting about did I get it all. This is why I usually cut it really short, like either no guard at all or a number one. Then it's really easy to see if it's even, lol
