Quick Post: Cutting Your Own Hair

 I have been meaning to trim my own hair ever since it got long. I miss having super long locks and my hair looks so healthy now. I have been using a lot of good products like Dove shampoo and Intensive repair conditioner. I decided to trim my own hair because I always get the wrong cut whenever I got salons. Whenever, I ask for a trim they would usually cut 2 inches off my hair and of course I end up getting frustrated. Thus, after mustering all the courage I have and after watching numerous videos in youtube on how to trim ones hair, I decided to trim it yesterday. 
 I bought this scissors in Landmark which only cost 154 pesos. 
 I started by trimming my bangs because I have psoriasis flare ups on my forehead which I need to hide.
 Sectioned my hair with the help of our very nice kasambahay.
I started to snip 1/2 to 1 inch of hair slowly and followed the shape and layers of my hair. I also made sure that my hair is properly blow dried. I opted to cut it with dry hair but I think cutting a damp hair is easier because you could clearly see the length of hair that you snip. My mother told me I maintained the V shape of my mane at the back but I failed to get a decent picture of it.

I think for a first timer, I did an okay job but definitely not great. My layers are a bit hard to follow but I just wanted to remove all my slit ends so I would rather cut my hair myself than paying the salon.

  1. I always cut my bangs since I was in 5th grade! I think I do a better job than the salons do. It's so hard to explain what kind of cut I like for my bangs. :P

  5. My baby sister cuts her bangs with those type of scissors. too. This post just reminded me that I have to learn mini-DIY-ing my hair! After all, most salons charge the full rate nga even if you're just having a portion of your hair cut.

  6. Wish I have the courage to this. I have a friend who cuts her own hair perfectly. I have no talent in hair cutting, I guess. Hehe

    You look so nice too! Looking at your photo makes me miss my long black hair more.

    Its a good thing that I don't mess up their hair. It bet that its a bit hard to trim your own hair :D

  14. My youngest sister is always dreaming of putting up a salon someday. So when Ive read about this blogpost couple of months ago i went to landmark to purchase something like ghis (hate the inconsistency of their prices) the one i bought cost about 124 pesos but i want something like what you have but it is priced 300plus *sigh eh yun nga i remember that you just bought yours for only 150something so i just settled with the plastic handled trimming scissors. I let my little sis do the job (the trimming and cutting) because she wants to own a salon nga pero it turns out like she just used a normal scissors. Sobrang pantay ung paggupit niya sakin. Guess, we still have a lot to learn.
