So it's easy enough for me to do them at home.</p> <p>Definitely a "high maintenance" woman. And although I am not doing all the usual routine, some things just keep me sane! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair/page/2#post-2116405 Sat, 25 Apr 2020 03:31:33 +0000 Anonymous 2116405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edgy and fab - you are so resourceful!

I'm impressed. I have been thinking that at some point, I will need to do some snipping on mine. I was thinking that having DH hold a mirror would be the only way to get the back. Glad to hear that worked for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair/page/2#post-2116198 Fri, 24 Apr 2020 01:15:35 +0000 Anonymous 2116198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow-looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair/page/2#post-2116144 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 21:36:32 +0000 smittie 2116144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair IS a statement.

You really did a brilliant job. Love that DH helped and understood. My DH does not even question why everyday I am dressed and made up with nowhere to go - he understands that this is my routine and help me feel that we have got this under control. I feel very lucky that our hairdressers can still work, so I don't have to get out the scissors or hair dye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair#post-2115993 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:42:34 +0000 Staysfit 2115993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on an amazing amateur cut! &nbsp;Whatever helps bring a sense of maintaining routine, identity and comfort deserves applause! &nbsp;I hope you, your friends and family stay healthy and safe! &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair#post-2115989 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:28:15 +0000 lyn67 2115989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, YLF, thank you, esp for the links!

I’m losing patience as well. My state is likely to open up on May 1st and I have an appointment on the second. It’ll just be me and the stylist, first haircut of the day, and both of us with mask, so I’m trying to hold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-did-it-i-cut-my-hair#post-2115910 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 22:38:35 +0000 Suz 2115910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh -- fantastic!!

My hair is VERY thick and tends to get "bigger" before it gets longer. And as you likely know, with short hairstyles, it's really all about the <i>shape</i>, which was getting lost in the poof.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Slim Cat:&nbsp;</b>I always get my hair cut when it's dry, then take a shower after to remove all the little bits that are stuck all over me. When I go to the salon, I stop in after work, then come home &amp; shower.&nbsp;</p> <p>It took about 45 minutes, with my husband holding a mirror for the very back.&nbsp; Then about 10 minutes of vacuuming.... </p>
