Richey Edwards Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Does anyone here cut their own hair? I attempted to trim my back and sides earlier in a sort of Britney Spears 2007-esque moment of stupidity to save a trip to the barbers. I am currently wearing a hat on my way to get it fixed. Pictures available on request. Has anyone had a similar self-inflicted hair mishap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I've cut my own hair for about 10 years now. It's straightforward and saves money, plus I hate going to the barbers. I hate having to wait but more than anything I hate getting hair down the back of my collar and it itching like f**k, which also ruins the t-shirt I'm wearing as no matter how many times I wash it I can't get rid of one or two annoying itchy hairs. For this reason I cut my hair naked, then give myself a quick brush before jumping in to the shower. Usually it's fine, but if I make a dick of it I can just cut it short, which is why I'm currently sporting an 8" on top and 2" back and sides. I had trimmed the back and sides at the weekend and trimmed the fringe, but cut a bit too much off of one part, so it just looked ludicrous, so off it all came. My forehead feels cold as it's the first time in about a year it's been exposed. It's much quicker to wash now, and I don't have to do anything to it before leaving the house. It grows back quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 No, because I’m an adult. I tried once when I was a child and made a total c**t of it. Get the pictures of your brutal barnet shared though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 My mum tried cutting my hair when I was a kid. Was petrified as she was so scatterbrained and unsurprisingly she sliced through my ear. Now a nice man called Gary looks after my locks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Not had a #1 all over (not that kind you filthmongers) for ages but it's very liberating to get your mop totally shaved off - give it a go if you've never tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Just now, smpar said: A hairdresser, yes. Barbers do shite haircuts. Depends who you go to in my experience. I've been going to the same barber since I was a wee boy and know which ones to avoid and which ones actually listen you. Generally I'll try and get the same guy every time as he knows what I want. Hairdressers are usually expensive as f**k and you need an appointment in advance, I'd much rather shave my own head than be arsed with any of that shite. I also find that with every year that passes by I give less of a shite what my hair looks like, taking the simpler approach of "as long as I don't look like a hipster or a bam I'm doing fine", so forking out £8 to the barber suits me fine.
