4 Reasons to Cut Your Own Hair

[ChromAzonyx108]

1. Save Money

The upfront cost will be higher to get the materials/equipment you need, but after you recoup that cost you’ll be saving money from then on.

2. More Control

No more trying to explain to hairstylists/barbers what it is that you want. You know exactly what you want and now you have complete control over what you get. There may still be some disappointment, but with practice you’ll get better. I recommend cutting your hair longer than you intend it to be, that way if it’s not quite what you wanted then you can cut a little more.

3. It's a Form of Art

Do you want a reproduction or something original? Giving yourself a haircut won't be perfect, it may be rough around the edges, but there can be beauty in that, just like artwork. Your head is a canvass and you have free reign in expressing yourself.

4. Save Time

No more making appointments and waiting around to get your hair cut. Now you can cut your hair whenever you want.

I have cut my own hair for awhile now and love it for all of the reasons you mentioned!

I agree with cutting your hair longer than you intend at first, and I like to only cut a little bit at a time when cutting off some length, just so I don't accidentally cut it too short or if I decide I want to keep more length than originally planned. My hair has some curl to it as well, so it is often deceiving when it comes to length.

I love having more control over it too, and I actually find it kind of fun when it turns out a little differently than expected, which is what happened the last time I cut my hair. I ended up really loving the results! I also agree that it's a fun method of self-expression, and I like to experiment with it every now and then.

I don't think I'll ever pay for another haircut again!

I think people should only cut their hair if they know what they are doing or are just touching up what was done. Now guys can be different. Especially if you just shave it all off or are really proficient with the electric shaver.

But from my own experience, nothing beats a professional cut :) I tried cutting my hair myself. And while it looked okay, you could tell I did it myself. I did straight across bangs by the way.

I had had bangs before but being a poor college student, I didn't have the money to get my hair done. So I decided to cut it myself.

It's probably easier for most guys, and it depends on the style you want too.
I imagine longer hair would be more difficult to cut.

Oh for sure the longer the hair is the more difficult it would be. Plus if a guy wanted to do a hair cut for himself that had different lengths, that would be challenging too. I have thicker hair and I have to get it thinned out and layered so I find for myself it's not a great idea to cut it. Maybe trimming a bit off if I had to would be fine.

But I definitely think if someone is able cut their own hair and finds they like how it turns out, that can be a huge cost saver! I wish I could cut my own hair!
