So I tried to cut my hair in front of a mirror. In movies you see people pulling bullets out of their bodies using a small mirror so using the large mirror I gave it a try. I can tell you it is harder than it looks. The result is my hair isn't in my eyes but my cuts were a bit to high. I created an area above my brows that goes up a bit higher than I thought it would. Oh well.

I've decided I like my bangs longer. But it's just been a month since my last trim.

Well, if I looked like that a bald head wouldn't be bad. :p

Errr, wait a minute...

The neighborhood may think social distancing has made you lose your marbles...

I cut, color and highlight my own hair and it looks professional. Practice makes perfect. ;)
If you are used to doing it yourself great. Many of us aren't. And yes I know you're going to ask why we don't just do it all ourselves. Maybe we're just girly girls. ;)

I have been doing in-between grey touch-ups for about 2 decades now. I only started cutting and highlighting my hair about 2 years ago when I could not find someone here who does it the way I like. I am comfortable with the scissors but the first time I tried highlighting my hair I was a little anxious. Now it is a piece of cake. :)

I know my formula as my hairdresser gave it to me for when I travel. I just ordered what she uses on me. Time to see if I learn how to do it professionally like you.

I was due for a haircut on March 19, but cancelled that the day before as it started to hit the fan. My Feb. 12th haircut, the first with a new hairdresser, was beautiful, but three weeks later I realized he'd given me "perfect hair" when I usually get my hair cut "too short", and "perfect" doesn't happen for two weeks. So I was already shaggy at the five week appointment I cancelled. Thank goodness I stopped coloring it two years ago. My main issue is that even though my hair is short, it is long enough to be really "bed heady" when I wake up. I've taken to putting a small amount of styling foam (which I don't use; foam is probably 10 years old) in my wet hair then slicking it back and adding a headband I bought two weeks ago. Then I let it air dry smooth to my head, rather than adding any lift with a blow dryer. That more or less keeps it from getting too wild overnight. I need to call my previous gal to get on her schedule, I guess in June, because the new guy made no allowances for my bad back at all and I was miserable at the shampoo bowl.

Is Rex your dog?

Yup. I should have thought to use his scissors. They are better than the Harbor Freight 2 for a dollar ones I used.

It was about 43 years ago for me. Shoulder length hair to no hair. Hooah. Oddly, that short hair style is in style these days.
