Great you can cut your own hair, Marie. I used to cut my hair when I lived in the mountains. It wasn't ideal, but better than Greta Thunberg's Lord Farquaad's haircut.
Faye, I just pull it all to top of my head and cut. Then I level the ends.

I wish I could cut my hair, too. I usually trim my bangs, but that's it. I cut them last week and kept trying to even them up; now I look like Mamie Eisenhower but they will grow back.

SO trims the ends for me every couple of weeks. I have a friend who has been in the industry 50+ years. She refused to cut my hair off the other day. “First we cut it then we add extension. No,”

I can cut my own hair but it is getting more difficult to hold my arms up over my head, and trying not to cut my fingers off.
My hair may not be very even, but I have low to medium natural curly hair, and it is a little forgiving if I screw it up. I had been letting my hair grow longer, since I let it go grey. But…I had to cut it a few days ago! I was tired of having wild messy curly hair sticking out everywhere. I can't seem to tolerate longer hair on me anymore. So, snip-snip it went.

Krystal mine gets in my eyes even mouth at times, it is also mildly curly and solid white now, use to be dirty blonde. So far it is still easy to cut.I can cut my own hair but it is getting more difficult to hold my arms up over my head, and trying not to cut my fingers off.

I feel your pain. There is even a hair claw on the floor lamp in the kitchen. The mess got caught by the updraft of the kitchen vent the other day.

We have hair balls from Foxy inside house and the other 3 on the porch visits. Have to vacuum at least once a day, since I seem to have a slight allergy to dog hair.

I learned to do it during Covid. I think I had a DA though.

I checked on You Tube to cut bangs the easy way and it works every time. It really is so easy and gives a nice soft finish, not harshI wish I could cut my hair, too.
