Cutting Your Own Long Hair

My hair is long, to the middle of my back. To cut my own hair, I take my curling iron (cold and not turned on) then grab a section as though I was going to curl it. I slide the curling iron down almost to the end. Then I hold the iron out in front of me and trim off the 1/2 inch of uneven ends. I go around all of my hair this way, just pinning out of the way what's already been cut. I never need help and I save a fortune!

Also to layer your hair, put your hair into a ponytail at the very front of ur head, pretty much on your forehead and cutt hair at where it comes to around ur nose and take out. layers! bye

When I was in high school (a hundred years ago!) I used a similar technique to cut my own long hair. I didn't trust anyone but myself with the scissors so finally devised the technique of parting off sections, trimming the ends, and moving on to an untrimmed section. It worked pretty well, and I felt a lot more secure. It never occurred to me then I was saving money!
