Quarantine made us do it...twice...one time was a success and the other quite a failure. What crazy thing has quarantine made you do? Leave us a comment!
When I see these videos, I realize that I have it pretty good. Having your guy cut your hair for you is a great bonding experience. I have been having my husband cut my hair for me since we first met. Our routine is that every other month I take a seat on the stool, he sets out a glass of wine for me, I get caped (longer portion in the back), my elbow length hair combed out with a wide tooth comb, Center parted, sectioned just behind my ear on each side and he pins up my Thick hair with hair clips. He blunt cut trims the bottom layer of my hair with his sharp hair shears, and then he lets my hair down in increments to trim each layer. He has me turn my head to the side so he can match the hair in the front with the back. He holds sections from each side of my head under my chin to ensure it is even. He cuts my hair dry so he can see and remove the split/damaged ends. He does the trimming in increments So that he is cutting a manageable amount of hair, as if he tries to cut through too much at once, the blades push the hair before they cut, leaving it uneven. I used to pay $55 for a haircut when my hair was collarbone length, now that it is past my elbows, they would be charging me more like $100. So I figure I am definitely saving several hundred dollars a year. He would never put my hair in ponytails, use a razor, thinning shears or point cut my hair as that would cause split ends. My best friend asked me years ago who did my hair as she needed a haircut and was not happy with the way the salon she had been going to cut her hair and she liked how mine looked. When I told her that my guy cuts my hair, she wanted to come watch him do it. I told my guy and he was fine with it and asked if I wanted him to cut her hair for her. I said yes, if she asked. Well she came by, watched him intently as he cut my hair, complimented his work, then as he was taking the cape off of me, she said, “I’m next!”. He said you are indeed and she took a seat. She wanted about an inch and a half off her mid back length hair, so he caped her, did the full routine on her hair. When he finished, she went to the bathroom to check the results and I got her a hand mirror to check the back. She was pleased and asked if she could book her next appointment. So she gets her hair cut by my guy regularly and does not miss the salon. Hubby also gives my two teen boys their haircuts every three weeks, saving me lots more money, they like his work. I would say your husband did an excellent job. He didn’t try putting it in ponytails and sawing it off uneven. He took it in steps cutting your hair shorter, rather than try to cut the full amount off and risk cutting it too short. I would say that you have a new stylist and will be saving a lot of money skipping the salon.
Keri Hatgirl Thank you! Your husband sounds like a professional. You’re so right; it’s incredible how much money we end up spending on haircuts. Next time we’ll use your tips you’ve given us!
Definitely get a cape, the hair clips, sectioning and wide tooth combs, as well as a good quality pair of hair shears. Having the right tools makes a big difference. I get trims every couple months as I want my ends neat and it combs out so much better after a trim, no one ever notices that I had my hair trimmed as hubby usually takes off an inch or less. Nothing really noticeable.
I think SUCCESS. It looks straight and beautiful. Here's what happened when my huband cut my hair...I was very nervous BUT I really needed a haircut so what's a person to do!!! You can see the results here ua-cam.com/video/DbY-4H4r1Lc/v-deo.html in a 2 minute video called HUBBY HAIRCUT. Now that I've had some time to live with it I actually like it alot. It's VERY choppy looking but perfect for these choppy times!! Stay safe everybody.

The pleasure of short hair is that first a few inches, then up to the neck, then the boys, and finally the car number 20
