Cheap Is My Middle Name

I cut my own hair today.

With 2 mirrors, 2 sets of scissors and a comb.

Daring?  Yes, but completely worth the cost.

My hair is thick.  And it tends to grow faster and thicker in the back of my head, more toward the base at my neck.  Beauticians have told me it's because there is more blood flow there.  Either way, it makes for some whacked out hair especially when I straighten it.

So I pulled up most of my hair into clips and ponytails and worked on the back.  Using thinning shears and a trash can to catch what I cut, I snipped and then dragged the scissors down my hair to push the clipped hairs into the trash can.  Then slowly let down more and more hair, thinning them as I went.  And then stopped 1/2 way up.  Just to make sure there were top hairs to cover any mistakes I might have made.

And I love it.  I still have my length, but a whole lot less weight!
