So this happened.
Yes, that's an (out of focus) pile of my own hair. (It looks grosser on camera than it did in real life.)
I hacked it off Thursday night, around midnight. No, I wasn't drunk. I've just been wanting to cut a few inches (about 5 or 6) off and finally it was time to do it.
It looks like a massacre from that pile of hair, no? But actually I cut it from hip length to waist length, so not a drastic change (especially considering that I wear it up most of the time). I almost cut it shorter, but then I put on my glasses and had a look and decided to wait a bit before going shorter. (I should probably invest in some more suitable scissors though before doing that.)
These were my tools:
Yes, a janky old mirror, my wooden comb with a couple of teeth missing, and the kitchen scissors that were last used to cut open a jumbo-sized package of Snapea Crisps from Costco.
It's been, lessee, a few months since my last "trim" (which was kind of hilarious considering that, yes, I used the same scissors, forgot to comb my hair out before cutting, and just hacked off about 3 inches of daggy ends off). Before that, it hadn't been cut at all for seven years.

it's a tricky thing, cutting your own hair. I do it too, but mostly just the bangs. ever see Andy Warhol's Haircut movie? that was like blogging about it back in the day, I guess. xo

Me'n'Andy! Like brothers from other mothers! :D
I've cut my own hair a few times in my life. In high school, I used to shave the sides in a kind of new wave modified mohawk-like 'do. These days the most radical thing I do is leave the grays intact!
