Salon de Moi

So I have this habit of cutting my own hair. I actually really like getting my hair cut and styled by an actual professional, but at this point in our lives I just feel like it's not in the budget to do it often enough to make it useful. I got a haircut in August and another in October but after that I couldn't justify paying for it again (though really, we're talking a $40 haircut, I'm not spending big bucks - at least not big bucks for Boston), so I Just whined about it and kept threatening to do it myself.

To his credit, robreed keeps discouraging this behavior, but I've never had a major disaster (with one exception, when I was in high school and had very short hair - this type of cut really needs professional maintenance, take it from me) so I usually hack it off late at night at home.

Yesterday I wore it straight and was grossed out by the split ends and really, by how long it was. I'm not a big fan of long hair. It's just dead cells after all. There's no reason to have it hanging all over the place.

Anyway, so last night I had had enough and did a little hacking in the bathroom. Actually, kind of a lot. I think it came out pretty well. I cut it all one length at first, then used Rob's buzzer - with a long length guard on it - to add some layers.

Hooray for short cute hair instead of long gross dead hair!

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
