OT lesson du jour

Every day is an adventure and, as readers of adventure stories know,
every adventure has a lesson to be learned.

For me, today's adventure was cutting my fringe and learning how to
use scissors whilst orienting in a mirror.

The lesson learned is that paying the twenty bucks to get a
professional to do it is money well spent.

LOL! That brings back memories of the day I cut my own bangs. I didn't
even use a mirror. Of course I was only four or five at the time. I was
sitting at the little desk my grandfather had built for me. I knew my
mother would probably be angry that I'd cut my hair, so I carefully wrapped
each lock in a sheet from a small notepad, and put them all in the drawer of
the desk. I couldn't understand how she found out! I was right about her
being angry, though. ;-)

LOL! JPG!! :)

ROFL! I have a friend who cuts her own hair. She wears a hat a lot..

Yowie...

hehehe, you have my sympathy and understanding.

I once had the same idea, and, grabbing at the roots of my fringe,
confidently gave it a chop just like I'd watched a hair dresser do a
thousand times.

My 'fringe' was instantly transformed into a longish fringe to 1cm long
stubble.

I did get better with cutting my fringe (the trick is *not* to look inthe
mirror, actually), but worked out that it was easier and looked far neater
to either a) grow it all the same length so it *all* went back in a pony
tail or b) pay someone far more deft with their fingers than me to do it.

LOL! My dad learned that lesson when I was in grade 6. He tried to cut
his own hair and cut it really badly, so he decided to use clippers for
a close trim. This went badly too and in the end there was so little
hair left that my mom ended up shaving it all off. To make matters even
worse, it grew in much sparser and greyer than it ever was before :-(

I cut my own hair all the time. The trick is to do it when your hair is
dry, then you can see what you want cut.

I also use rather dull scissors, so that I have to make several passes at
a tress to get it all cut. This gives me a feathered sort of look
without my having to actually feather it, which is hard on your own head.

I find there's a psychological advantage to cutting your own hair. If I
pay a professional to do it, I want it to look great. But it's still my
hair on my head around my face, how good is it going to look? However,
if I cut it myself, and it doesn't look like I did it with a Weed
Whacker, I'm a happy camper.
