@TwinkleBell I began cutting my own hair during the lockdown. I am still doing it. My hair is an undercut somewhere between chin and shoulder length depending on how often it is cut. I should disclose my hair is very thick, so mistakes don't show so much.

 

There is a tool (but I lost the name) that someone mentioned in a previous post. It holds your hair in position and you cut using it as a guide. You might do a google search and find it. It looks like a large, flat clip.

 

 


Shark tank had a man on it that bad a tool shaped like a shark to hold your hair while you cut it.

I trim mine so I don,t have to go so often.  I get compliments on my hair, so I guess I,m not doing so bad.

@Harpa   I've trimmed up my hair since I was a teen.... Bangs for sure, neckline when growing out a pixie (keeps away the mullet) and layers in a pixie when necessary.

 

In all honesty, when I'm wearing a curly style, cutting on it covers up a multitude of sins. Straight styles show the layers a lot and requires more attention and patience.

Yes, all the time- I have very difficult hair to cut ( it's coarse, oddly wavy-curly, but not pretty ringlet curls, and a strong cowlick at the crown that directs all the hair straight onto my face). I have almost never liked a haircut done by a stylist and if I did like, they can never duplicate it when I go back... I was constantly disappointed. 

I gave up on salons and always cut it myself. I get the outer overall shape the way I want, Ex, angle the front along my face, and the back is long enough to bring to my chin to cut evenly. Then I angle some layers in, while making sure both sides are the same length. Sometimes I use a CreaClip. I am never disappointed with my own cuts!  Suggest to Watch YouTube videos first.  No fear, give it a try!

Like many others, I'd often only trimmed my bangs. A few years ago, though, I began actually taking off a few inches in the fall, because I generally just wear my hair up throughout the summer. I've gotten good at it lol.
