    Default I cut my own hair

    I cut my own hair and it came out so good!!! I followed a simple tutorial (link below) I took off about 3 inches, but this is a perfect method for trims to cut off dead ends and keep hair healthy between salon visits. I wish I would have had the guts to try this years ago. I've been to upscale salons and have never been so disappointed!

    Very simple. I didn't even use scissors, I used a comb and electric trimmers. Yes, it was kinda terrifying but I did a small section that could be hidden easily to test. I did 3 sections so I could layer. I wish I took before and afters. I will never pay to get my hair cut again.

    I trim my own too. Layering is a bit harder on really thick hair but done with care it can look great.

    I also cut my own hair.
    Haven't in a while tho.
    I got it from a library book, u part down the middle, comb out, then rubber band at nape of neck. I use those little rubber bands for braids.
    Then, u go down length of hair, an inch or so, rubber banding till u get to the bottom or just above.
    Then I trim that piece off.
    I cut my hair dry, always as it's curly, & I believe that's how curly hair sb cut!

    I do too! I have done so since I was a teenager. I just feel like whenever I've gone to a salon in the past for a trim, they end up getting scissor-happy and cutting way too much off. Over the years I've gone to shoulder-length hair, ayered hair, to letting it grow out, and giving myself bangs. Now I'm in the process of growing my bangs out again and I recently cut 4" from the ends of my hair. My hair was down to my butt.

    With a few exceptions, I've been cutting my own hair since I was a teen also.

    It's money I can save to spend on hair color and fragrance.

    Yes, very true mostly, unfortunately.

    You have to really find a good one if possible, referrals etc.

    Admittedly I've only been going to the places that cost less to get cut. Probably will try out some that cost more/more personalized after my hair gets too long.

    Try Yelp. Go in, have a consult first.
    I tried to 'cut corners' & regretted it.
    If your hair's long you may not need trims frequently

    I find that long hair needs to be trimmed more frequently for split-end prevention. That's one of the keys to growing really long, healthy hair! Trimming frequently ensures that you don't develop split ends that travel high up on the hair shaft (resulting in breakage, which makes it tough to increase the length of your hair!).

    This is a really good thread. I want to start doing this.

    Any recommendations on what scissors I should use?

    Definitely hair scissors- from beauty supply store.

    Seeing these women use regular scissors makes me cringe
