Last time I went to the hair salon was in early March 2020.   I'm getting rather accomplished cutting my own hair.

 

Short and shaggy with lots of texture spray ... lookng pretty good!

 

(until no more masks in the salon .... I'm doing-it-myself.)

Good for you!  I have shortish shaggy hair too and for that reason find I can't cut it myself.  I can cut my bangs and that's it.  Too many layers cut at too many angles.

I've been cutting my own hair as well. I followed the video from Justin Hickox on youtube. For anyone interested, the title is "How To Trim Your Own Hair (2020 Important Tips)".

I've been cutting/trimming my own hair for years - I also cut my husband's hair.

Re: Just gave myself a trim!

I don't go only for the hair cut, I go to take one hour out of my time and just sit back and relax.

 

A nice shampoo, conditioner worked into my scalp and warm water rushing over my head, oh it feels so good.

 

Nothing is going on in the world, just a great experience with someone that knows what they are doing.

 

Hair cut............whole experience OK

 

but then the blow dry and styling...true magic.  A pint of ice cream can't replace this hour, I'll still go to the salon.

Yeah, if I can do the little Yorkie, who wiggles and squirms, I can surely do my own, too!

 

(Which I've been forced to do!)

 

But I'd rather go to a good stylist!

@ALRATIBA 

I meant to ask you....

 

How short did you make your hair? How did you do the back? About how many inches is your bottom layer, and about how many inches is your top layer?

 

Also, what kind of texture spray do you use?

 

TIA!!
