@haddon9

I agree.  There is no way I'd be brave enough to cut my own hair.

I can only imagine what I'd look like.  It wouldn't be pretty, I'm sure of that.

Well that depends...but yes I've had some really bad haircuts...or cuts that weren't so bad but on a different face!

Re: Cutting your own layers ~ quick tutorial

I cut my hair like this in 1971; it came out looking like Paris Jackson's blonde bob, except mine was auburn/mahogany. It was very cute, but I'm too chicken to even dream about doing it now.

Re: Cutting your own layers ~ quick tutorial

I have the Creacllip and use it on myself and my daughter. It definitely took a bit before I was brave enough to start cutting, so I started with just using it to trim. And I know that what I do can't be compared to a talented hair stylist, but it works for me. Plus it saves me some money to spend on the Q Smiley Very Happy

 

I've used it for layers, which is very simple. You literally just hang your head upside down and slide the Creaclip through. It's trickier for a blunt cut, but I've managed to do it. 

 

Where I find it really shines is trimming my daughter's unruly hair. It really helps hold the hair while I trim; thereby, avoiding poking her with pointy scissers. Seven year olds aren't very understanding about stuff like that!

Re: Cutting your own layers ~ quick tutorial

I have had cuts that I had to go to another salon to have them fixed.  We were staying in Tennesse and I went to a salon and when I came out my husband said "Your bald spots are showing."  He never says anything about my hair good or bad.  I  did not have any bald spots before I went in.  I could not even get that one straightened out by another hairdresser so I just had to tough it out till it grew.   When I find a hairdresser and try to stick with her, she leaves or I leave or somthing happens.

@cuddlesmama I don't even bother with that. I just eyeball it in the mirror and it turns out well.
