    I've been cutting my own hair for years. I haven't had it professionally done for at least 5 years. I do it myself about every 2 months. I had too many hairdressers cut off more than I wanted off. Then, I found a hairdresser I loved and trusted and she moved away. So, I've been doing it myself. I would suggest, like another poster said, a good pair of haircutting scissors. When I do my bangs, I do a tiny bit at a time and try to layer them so they don't look so blunt. Check out youtube, they have tutorials for any thing you can think of.

    I do. But I'm a guy and I keep it pretty short and military style so it's easy. Been using the same $15 clipper set I bought at Target about 19 years ago. Got my money's worth and think of the $$$ I saved on haircuts!

    Yeah my hubby keeps his military short too. So it's not too hard for him to do it himself.

    As for me...I tried cutting them myself the first time they looked crazy!! But after a few practice round and some youtube videos I am pretty good at it.

    Search for videos on Youtube...great resource for cutting hair.

    I've cut my own hair for years now...last time I got my hair cut by a professional...was 5 years ago maybe? I cut my own length and my own bangs. :)

    I've been cutting my own hair for a year or so. I just don't have the time or money to shell out for haircuts all the time. I watched videos on YouTube, took what I saw my hairstylists do for the previous 7-8years and did it myself :)
