PART TWO
I’M NOT A HAIRDRESSER SO I’M NOT QUALIFIED TO WRITE ABOUT CUTTING HAIR AT HOME. BUT I HAVE HAD TO SURVIVE AFTER MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT THE HAIRDRESSERS. THEREFORE I AM QUALIFIED IN SURVING AT HOME WITH LIMITED HAIRDRESSING SKILLS.
AFTER MY BLEACH EXPERIENCE I WAS A BIT SHOCKED AND ENDED UP PARANOID OF HAIRDRESSERS.
NOT SURE IF I WILL EVER GO BACK TO ONE, I DON’T WANT TO CAUSE A FUSS EITHER BY TAKING MY OWN HAIRDYE OR GETTING THEM TO SIGN A CONTRACT.
CUTTING ALONG THE LINE OF YOUR LAST HAIRCUT
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I LEARNT THIS FROM, IT COULD OF BEEN MY AUNTIE. SHE WAS A HAIRDRESSER ONCE.
TO DO THIS YOU NEED:
FLOOR COVERING SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING FROM WILKO.
A CAPE OR OLD TOP TO COVER YOUR CLOTHES.
HAIRDRESSING SCISSORS OR REALLY SHARP SEWING SCISSORS.
A CHAIR
A FINE COMB
MOST IMPORTANTLY
A TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND/ BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND ETC.
TO BEGIN WITH WASH AND CONDITION YOUR HAIR, THEN TOWEL DRY TO STOP DRIPPING.
COVER YOURSELF WITH THE CAPE/SHIRT.
GET A PARTING AND BRUSH YOUR HAIR STRAIGHT SO IT IS NEAT.
THE NEXT PART YOU REALLY NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO DO FOR YOU.
IT WORKS ONLY ABOUT ONCE, SIX WEEKS AFTER A HAIRDRESSING VISIT.
YOUR FRIEND NEEDS TO CAREFULLY AND VERY SLOWLY CUT AN INCH 1/2 INCH ETC. ABOVE THE HAIRDRESSERS LAST CUT.
WORKS REALLY WELL ONLY ONCE.
IF IT IS LONGER THAN SIX WEEKS THE LINE WILL OF GROWN OUT.
IDEALLY YOU NEED A HAIRDRESSER FRIEND LOL!!!
I DID THAT TRICK ONCE AND THE HAIRDRESSER ASKED WHO HAD CUT MY HAIR LAST?
IT WAS REALLY FUNNY, HE COMMENTED IT WASN’T A BAD JOB IF HE WAS HONEST.
SAVES A BIT OF MONEY TOO.
CUTTING A HAIRSTYLE ON YOUR OWN
FROM MY EXPERIENCE I WOULD SUGGEST DON’T DO IT!!
UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED IN HAIRDRESSING OR QUITE SKILLED, IT COULD GO ALL WONKY.
I SAW A TUTORIAL ONCE THAT SUGGESTED GROWING YOUR HAIR LONG AND BRUSHING YOUR HAIR ROUND TO ONE SIDE.
CUTTING THIS STYLE ON YOUR OWN ISN’T AS HARD TO DO, IF IT GOES WONKY ON THE BOTTOM THEN YOU CAN’T TELL.
I’VE JUST BEEN DOING THAT, IF THINGS GET BETTER MAYBE I WILL HAVE A HAIRSTYLE AGAIN, BUT I WOULD GO SOMEWHERE LIKE VIDAL SASSOON AND GET IT CUT PROPERLY.
ONLY TEENAGERS CAN HAVE LONG HAIR
THIS IS A COMPLETE MYTH. I ONCE SAW A HAIRDRESSER SAY ANYONE CAN HAVE LONG HAIR AT ANY AGE.
IN AN IDEAL WORLD WE WOULD HAVE IT STYLED IN A SALON, BUT AT THE MOMENT I SUGGEST IT IS THE EASIEST STYLE TO MAINTAIN BY OURSELVES.
YOU CAN NEATEN IT EVEN AT ONE SIDE. GET SOMEONE TO CUT THE ENDS, PUT IT IN A PLAIT AND TRIM THE ENDS, NEATEN THE ENDS BY MEASURING THE TWO SIDES BALANCE ETC.
WELL, I CAN’T CUT HAIR AT ALL AND THAT IS HOW I HAVE BEEN MANAGING.
IF HAIRDRESSING SALONS OPEN THEIR DOORS AGAIN, WE CAN HAVE WHATEVER STYLE WE WANT AGAIN.
THAT IS ANOTHER BLOG IN THE FUTURE HOPEFULLY, HAIRSTYLE TRENDS AND FASHION.
