Cutting My Own Hair

As you guys know, I'm always looking for new ways to save money. So, when I found a discounted offer for Image Beauty's website I checked it out just in case I could find cheap make-up. So, this is where I found my hair cutting scissors and thought I could invest in some scissors and save on future hair cuts. Originally, I bought the scissors with the intention of cutting H's hair. I started searching online and came upon some information about cutting your own hair...and I thought I have finally reached a point where saving money is more important than having the "look" I want.

Since my hair is so thick and I am taking prenatal vitamins so my hair is growing really fast, I figure why not try? Here is the video you all made fun of me for...Kandee the Make Up Artist's How To Cut Side Swept Bangs (fringe) like nicole richie. I've always been afraid to take chances with my hair for fear of how I would look, but I figure who really cares what my hair looks like except me? So, I tried to do what Kandee said and then I read How To Layer Cut Your Own Hair on eHow and How to Layer Your Own hair on wikiHow about cutting layers and viewed the video at the bottom. I kind of took all of the ideas and went from there. I razored my bangs, cut my layers, and then texturized the best I could. So, it didn't turn out as "perfect" as I would like, but it also didn't turn out as bad as I had expected.

I think I should have taken more off the bottom to make the layers not look so choppy, but at least I've tried it once and can do better next time...
