Why doesn't anyone buy an adjustable mirror mounted to the wall in the bathroom and you can pull it out and adjust it to see the back of your head when cutting that way you can use two hands to cut your hair and you can see the whole back of your head without holding another mirror! So much easier that way...that's what I do and it makes doing your hair way more easier...they sell them on wayfair

I learned a lesson from Covid pandemic. There were no salons open! So I had to trim my own hair. My gosh, I would have paid anything to have a salon cut. So if you can learn to trim your hair that's a good thing. Yes, a wall mirror that's adjustable would be a major help to cut the back!

TIP: Get yourself a 'rat tail' comb and it will make the initial sectioning and cutting so much easier. The 'tail' will help you section, and the smaller teeth on the comb will keep your hair together while you're cutting it. Oh, and get yourself a larger hand held mirror to view the back section.
@critchley999 Жыл бұрын
I was going to say this too. All hairdressers use the tail comb to divide and separate the sections of hair. It's so much easier to get just the right amount of hair in a straight line. I'm not a hairdresser but I'd be lost without my tail comb especially when colouring my own hair when I want to lift up the next section to get to the roots. I was watching because I'm thinking about trimming mine a bit.
@valkh8311 ай бұрын
We use all purpose combs for cuts not rat tails. Rat tails are more for sectioning foil highlights, braids,and perms. We definitely do not use wide tooth (conditioning) com to cut hair with. Wide teeth combs are not good for cutting at all.

Very nice style on you, looks beautiful. I do the same cut except using the regular rubber bands and section about 8 areas then cut below the rubber bands. It’s easier for me to establish a length that way and then touch up later like you do. I angle the fronts too, it does help. A bit of hair to clean up and if you make a small error especially in the back no one seems to notice & it grows out anyway. I used to cut everyone’s hair using clippers on my son & husband. My hair color is same as yours, it’s natural but friends think I have it highlighted at a salon.

Perfecto! Us older ladies don't like to go to hair cutting places for many reasons. There are several older ladies in my elderly complex who admit to cutting their own hair. It might be a lucrative job opportunity for hairdressers to check with the elderly housing projects for house calls. After receiving a few disastous experiences in salons, I started cutting and applying home permanents to myself. It may not have turned our profession looking but it always satisfied me. Recently I went to a Cost Cutters and once again I received a "strange" haircut. So I'm ready to start chopping it again. I must buy some new scissors, though.

Having had a very short pixie cut since 2000, I was ‘forced’ to grow my hair out during the Covid lockdowns and got to a stage where I could plait my hair - which I had never been able to do. But my goodness, it took days to dry (I refuse to use the heat of a hairdryer) I cut my hair to shoulder length after 4 1/2 years without a cut. May take another couple of inches off and do the wolf/butterfly (whatever it’s called) to have some layers that seem a bit more forgiving while I’m getting confidence in cutting my own hair.

I was thinking about doing this haircut too, as it's easy to style. I used to have it about five years ago and now I realize I don't want it after seeing you do it. I can't go back. I just don't like short hair, not at all. I'm 60 now and I'm wearing it longer. I had it to my waist about six months ago, which was kind of long for my age. But, now it's past my collar bone and I like it much better. I have salt and pepper like you. We actually kinda look alike. 😅 On a side note, my adult son tells me that I look like a Shakespearean boy when I have this haircut, I just can't seem to get that out of my mind 😂
