Have you ever been in a position where you struggled with that? no. idk if you know people who have, but I do. It's nothing to joke about. Maybe you think they are pathetic or emo or something. Idk. But they are persons, and persons with a lot of pain and belittle that pain is just not funny at all.[/quote]

agreed.

i thought he meant "writs":

In law, a writ is a formal written order issued by a government entity in the name of the sovereign power. In most cases, this government entity is a court. Two kinds of writs are warrants and prerogative writs, but there are many others.

:idontknow:

or holy writ:
Holy Writ - the sacred writings of the Christian religions

[quote name='icelandic_iceskater' post='1815523' date='Mar 24 2009, 11:02 AM']has anyone on here ever cut their own hair? I am in desperate need of a hair cut but I don't really want to go to a saloon and have other people play with my hair. I'm not sure if cutting it at home would be a good idea though... I'd proally chop off around 8" and do some layering or something. I'm not sure if I should try that... lol. I have trimmed my hair at home before.

For those of you who have cut your own hair- how'd it turn out? Would you recommend it? Got any tips?[/quote]


It's best not to get your hair cut in a saloon. Drunkards don't have good coordination. :P


I cut my own hair, but it's all the same length, and only 1/4 inch long, so it's pretty easy-peasy.

I totally agree with that.




And personally, guys who use a weedwhacker on their hair don't really look that attractive. :thumbdown:




Just saying.





By the way, this topic is very intriguing, and I think I'm going to join Icelandic-Iceskater and cut my own hair too! Thanks for the idea! :cool:

[quote name='CatherineM' post='1815762' date='Mar 24 2009, 09:50 PM']There used to be a product that attached to a vacuum, and it slurped your hair up into it, and at the top was a spinning cutter like something from a garbage disposal. The extension tubes allowed you to get it any length you wanted. I think it was called flowbee. I knew someone that had one, and they swore by it, but I was always afraid it would pull rather than cut, and I'd end up looking like Homer Simpson.[/quote]


There was also the smell of elderberries 'n cut.

I like cutting my own, and I even get a tad creative now.

The 2 most important things are:
1. Modest goal. Nothing fancy.
2. Go sloooooow. Very, very slow. So when you mess up, it is small. Maybe fixable as you go.


If you do those, you will probably still have a couple imperfections, but they should be minor and healed by Father Time in a couple weeks.

Also, it is always good to have 2 mirrors going to avoid blind spots.

so after much consideration I have decided to just go to a salon (just one "o", sorry to disappoint) I've come to the conclusion that I don't trust myself enough to totally change my hair style on my own... :no:

Thanks for the advice anyways, though! :topsy:

i hope you don't go to a saloon to get your hair cut!! :lol_pound: usually people are drunk there and they'd do an awful job on cutting your hair! :lol_pound:


sorry, i know you meant salon, but us preggos have a weird sense of humor.[/quote]
LOL oops! :lol:

i've cut my own hair, my bangs to be exact, two years ago and i looked like a monkey..

some of my female classmates cut their hair, but just a little to correct some salon mistakes.

excuse me.. can i have a question? you do not need to elaborate on this:

do you also call salons as "parlors"?

If you're talking 8 inches just wait until you get another inch or two. Then find a stylist who will do it for free. Yep. If you donate 10 inches to "locks for love" usually a stylist will finish up doing your hair for free....and do it quite nicely.

It's a headblade! You roll it along your head to get a close shave at angles which are tough with a regular razor. They make a great shaving creme and a balm to keep your head shiny too!
