haircut
I needed a hair cut so bad that tonight… I cut it myself. Well, I actually let my wife cut it and we used the hair clippers. I used to shave my head when I was in high school, not my whole head mind you though. Just the sides, I had long hair up on top and pulled it back in to a pony tail. I was a bad ass… or at least… thought I was.
So yeah… haircut. It was getting to the point where I would wear my toque all the time because my hair was so bad. But now that it’s been clipped I can start gelling up my fohawk again. ^_^ I guess I still think I’m a bad ass.
Have you ever given your self a hair cut?

Yeah, I’ve cut my own hair before…but I did a horrible job at it. I have kind of a bowl cut thing going on and tried to get my bangs out of my eyes, so I took some scisors and, well, lets just say I’ll just leave it to the pros.

I have been cutting my own hair for about 20 years.
Use those plastic “spacer” things on a standard buzzing, noisy “dog shaver” and go for the “clean” look… short on the sides, slightly longer on top. -never- allow hair to cross over any bald spots. It always looks really bad.
To get the collar right, you take a heavy leather belt and with your fingers, find the last “bump” at the top of your spine and wrap the belt so that it covers the bump and the bottom edges of your ear lobes. Then using the shaver, cut upwards ’till you touch the belt. Don’t “chop off” the hair using the belt as a line, let the natural variable lengths of the hairs define the hairline. People who did not know I was doing my own hair would ask me who my barber is ‘cuz “mine’s too expensive” 🙂
