My tip: DONT do it!!!! My hairdresser begged me to not touch my hair because it’ll cause more work to correct it after corona.

Pro-tip. Use shears designed for hair. Make sure they cost more than 60 dollars.

Point cut in is the safest.

I prefer to cut my own hair and am pretty good at it. People are always surprised to learn it about me. I learned tips from watching the hair stylist on "What Not to Wear" years ago. I'd recommend watching YouTube videos of people with similar hair types to yours. Not sure if your hair is straight, wavy, curly or kinky but you have to use different techniques depending on the type. I also wouldn't recommend doing it without a good pair of hair shears.

I’ve cut my own hair for years. I don’t need layers, just need to keep my ends clean and at a length I like. Straight cut with a framed face. There are a ton of YouTube videos! I’d only warn to not do it if you have curly hair. A lot of people also say cut dry hair.

It’s honestly not scary after the first go of it; just cut like half an inch around your whole head and use mirrors to see if you have a good straight line! I let my hair air dry, hold my hair in the front and check to see if both sides are even and then go from there :)

Yes but just make sure you pick a simple cut and really follow instructions from YouTube. No short cut videos. Watch videos that teach it.

No short cuts. 😂 💇🏻‍♀️

I gave myself a trim because my ends looked bad. It’s fine. Hair looks great. There are plenty of instructional videos for all hair types out there.

YouTube. I always cut my own hair. I do a good job

Do you have a roommate or partner to help? I used to get friends to cut my hair when I was a student living overseas. If you have long hair, it’s easy. If you have any layers, just take the same amount off them as you do off the bottom.

But if you live alone, then that’s another story. Cutting it yourself is tricky because you’re working with a mirror image, so it fucks with your head (and hair). Your hand does the opposite of what you think it should. You could get someone to come over and help if you both wear masks.

I just do basic half an inch trim and then go a couple washes and see if I need to correct it. Nobody really notices and that's the whole point haha just to get rid of some ends

I did. Well only a trim. I put it into two low pigtails and cut maybe 3/4ths of an inch off the ends. Just make sure to use decent sharp hair-cutting scissors and not an old pair you’ve been using to like cut open mail or anything

I cut my bangs regularly but wouldn’t move to the rest of it. Too risky

Yes! Cut 4 inches off. I couldn't stand it any longer and am so glad I did. Just Google videos beforehand and don't be overly ambitious with a crazy new style.

Is it normal for a start-up to be super vague and keep setting up meetings to get to know you but gives you bare minimum details about them?

I had a start-up reach out to me and after a few meetings I have barely been able to get any information about them. I don't know name, size, or anything but a vague description about what they offer (don't even know what role they would want me in). Is this normal or am I right to be annoyed?

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet.

I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

Well, I’m out of advertising. After getting laid off on April 30th I held out in hopes I’d find something “cool” and be able to continue dressing like a clown for work (I’m heavily tattooed and have my septum pierced). I took a job as an EA in real estate investment banking and while I do feel relieved to not have to keep up the “cool” agency culture, I’m a little nervous to return to buttoned up corporate America. I know I’m good at my job, but unemployment Swiss cheese brain is real!
