I Just Gave Myself A Haircut!

I know, I must be crazy right? Giving myself a haircut!

To be completely honest, I really just don’t like going to the hair salon. I have no idea why. It’s usually a half a year between cuts so my hair gets really long and I end up wearing it up. The last time I got a cut I really liked was on our honeymoon in New Zealand, and I obviously can’t just hop over there every time I need a trim!

So today I decided it was time again for a cut (it’s been about six months since) and I didn’t feel like going out, so I did it myself!

I watched about 10 videos on YouTube, grabbed a pair of sharp scissors, a comb, brush, hair tie, and hand mirror. I started with the technique from this video (also in this one explains even more), then did it again with the top half of my hair for more layers, and then ended with some long bangs by watching this video.

It took all of 5-10 minutes. Then I washed, dried, and spritzed. I usually wear my hair air-dried (it’s naturally wavy a bit) or in big curls that take about 5 minutes, but I decided to blow it straight so you can see the cut better.

Mikey approves and says “now YOU can do your own hair AND my hair to save us money.” Haha. I actually learned how to help him with his hair when we got married. He keeps it really short and was going every 2 weeks and it was costing $80-100 per month to get it done! So I learned to help him with the back and he makes a grand old mess all over our bathroom every other week buzzing it short again.

I had Mike shoot a few pics of my new cut (we totally should have done “before” pictures but didn’t think of that until it was too late!)

I only took of about 2 inches from both the long and middle layers (and bangs), but I feel like I have a weight off my shoulders. Who knows if I’ll make this a regular thing or what but I was pleasantly surprised with the results!
