DIY Weekend! (Friday)

On Friday, during a fit of stretching in AP Psychology, I started playing with my hair. It dawned on me that I had not had a haircut since maybe August. I asked my friend sitting next to me if she had a pair of sharp scissors. I was determined to cut my hair right then and there in the middle of story time about split-brains. She fortunately did not have any scissors in her possession. When I got home that afternoon, I actually educated myself in the art of self-trimming. I used this video as guidance because it was the best, most legitimate, well-explained tutorial I could find with hair similar to mine.

I'm actually really impressed with myself and how my hair turned out. I freshened and reshaped my fringe, trimmed the very ends and went through a few layers. As of now, I don't plan on ever paying to get a trim ever again now that I know how to do it myself.

It's become quite a fad amongst my friends (and now me) to trim our own or each other's hair. I know that sometimes trimming your own (or a friend's) hair can be scary and intimidating, but once you know what you are doing and you are calm about the situation, it can leave you with nice, healthy-looking hair (when done correctly).
