Anyone in here cut your own hair?

Do pubes count?

Just put a guard on the clipper and go same length all over.

I did in college. Got the wahl set from walmart for $30 and used it on my balcony

been cutting my own hair for years. I am mostly bald, so it really isnt that big of a deal. My oldest daughter is a beautician, but I still cut my own hair.

if you want the same length all over, you just use the appropriate spacer. my clippers have an angled spacer to do the fade with, but I don't use that.

What is it...a 4 guard, then fade it to a 1 or 2 & blend for fingers length?

Btw, shaving with no guard at all doesn't give you a skinhead look- you would need to use no guard/clippers, then a razor blade for the rest. W/ a good hairline, a no-guard shave isn't a bad look

I work with a 25 year old guy who cuts his own hair when he can't find a coupon in the val pak... biggest cheap skate I know. He.. drives a Prius hybrid

I'll do the back and sides between haircuts, it's easy with clippers

I've done it before.

Cut it with a #7 guard all over. Then I used a #3 on the bottom and transitioned to a #4, #5, and #6 all the way up to get rid of the lines.

I then took all the guards off and shaped up my sideburn and ear area.

Then I was able to angle the clippers just right to shape up the sides of my neck.

Then I used a belt and held it against my neckline and used that to make a straight line on the back of my neck.

Came out pretty decent actually. I did it just as a challenge because I said I bet I could do it and some friends said no way.

It just takes a long time. It probably took me 45 minutes to do what a barber could have done in 10.
