I cut my own hair this morning - I couldn't stand the sight of myself on videos and my last ‘pixie' haircut was 8 weeks ago.
I stripped down to nothing and stood on a towel in the en suite, damped my hair and did my best with a pair of scissors (bought for the purpose) and a couple of mirrors. It was harder than I had imagined. I picked up layers of hair between my fingers in the way that hairdressers do but, when it came to trying to cut it using the mirror, I kept missing!
When I had finished, I had hobbits’s feet and oh the mess. I brushed myself down and had a shower. The washbasin under the mirror was covered with clippings and despite standing on a towel, most of my cut hair missed it. It took absolutely ages to clean. All I can say is that I can see out now and no longer look as if I have a cat sitting on my head.
I did get my husband to help and cut the hair on the nape of my neck. He just chopped it off. Oh well, I can’t see that bit.
My husband says ‘it looks alright'.
