know of a device to hold my hair in place tlike this?

She`s a smart girl who`s had some bad experience (I plan to ask her what before she leaves)
and has a friend (who I don`t know if she`s a stylist or not) cut her hair too. Anyway, I
haven`t asked her yet (would have yesterday but she was busy) but if she were to cut my
hair, I`m sure she`d do a good job. There are risks with going to a stylist too, and more
serious ones than some people know. You (and Karen Shelton) seem to have found ones
who appreciate your desire to have long hair. Let`s just say you are lucky.

One way or another, those places repel me and I`d rather keep going to the effort of cutting
my hair. I may even invent a cheap gadget and patent it one day!

I hate the styilst experience. Period. Therefore I will either continue cutting my hair or let it
grow long. At present, however, I plan on asking a roommate (I`m on a summer job in Quebec
City) to trim it for me.

Duke I know what you`re trying to achieve but it`s very difficult to do correctly on yourself (personal experience talking here.) That`s especially true if your hair is thick. It`s hard because you have to either set up two mirrors or not see at all what you`re doing while cutting behind your back. I don`t recommend cutting it yourself--go to a stylist or have a trusted friend cut it straight across. Good luck! :-)

Basically all I want to be able to do is to cut all my hair one length (about the level of my mouth.)To do this, I imagined I could get some sort of band that could clamp my hair all around, and I could cut it just below the band. Anyone know of devices (particularly those available in Canada) that I could use for this purpose? I mean, just like a thin hair band or something that could be pulled down and stay in place as I "bob" the hair below it.

TRY A RADIATOR HOSE CLAMP
