QuoteReplyTopic: Hello Short Hair Forum - Kinda long intro Posted: July 06 2005 at 5:45am
Hello everyone!
I am new here from the Long Hair board. I was going to try and
grow my hair out due to $$$$ and the frustration of not finding a
stylist or barber who consistently cut it the way I wanted it. So
every 2 or 3 weeks I would angst over whether it would turn out great
or not. Very Iffy and I've tried a lot of different stylists and
barbers! I wear it clipped (yep with clippers) short in back and
the sides and about 1 to 1/4 inches over the rest of my head and just
funk it up with a straightening iron and some pomade. I love the
look and feel more like me with it. Well, I was going to grow it
out but decided to try cutting it myself...it isn't much different than
a man's haircut so how hard could it be? I bought some clippers
and hair cutting scissors and thinning shears at Sally's. Came
home and using two mirrors and going slow clipped, trimmed and used the
thinning shears to give it a fringe look on the ends. My
wonderful husband cleaned up the neckline for me and it turned out
fabulous. Exactly what I wanted and I can keep it up for free and
every two weeks! Woo Hoo! Does anyone else here cut their
own hair? BTW I've been reading this board and really like the
support here.

Hi, I cut my own hair also, I have short-spiked hair!! :-) Yeah it can get expensive having someone else do it every few weeks, so that's why I decided to cut my own hair,(I also bleach my own hair too) this way if I screw up then I have no one else to blame but myself. haha Do you have any pic's of your hair that you would like to share? :-)

Thanks for the welcome! No pics yet, but I will get some posted soon. In addition to saving money, the convenience is great...no making an appointment trying to work around everyone's schedule...driving there, etc. Man this is the life! Hee Hee

*waves* I do my own, partly due to being poor :-P and partly due to bad experiences with stylists. Not fun having to explain every month why you'd want to look more androgynous, being questioned about your orientation (okay, yeah, so I am gay. . . but still, it's stupid of them to make assumptions about that based on my hair!), or being reminded how thin your hair is, or how it grows in weird directions in some places (gee, thanks, never would've figured those out over this lifetime of living with this hair :-P ). I get lazy about cutting, though, so it always looks pretty shaggy by the time I get around to doing it -_- .
More awesome than a manatee!

lovebobs...yep my husband does like my hair short and I have a male friend you loves to rub the buzzed part! Ha Ha.
Kuroneko...waving back...boy I feel your pain....I have only been questions once about my haircut/lesbian connection. But I am a girlie type girl with manicures/pedicures/makeup etc. You hair looks cute in your pic and if you cut that yourself, you are doing great!
Oh yeah people do get judged by the way that they have there hair, the clothes that they wear, etc..
I work at a Junior High School (In the Kitchen, I'm the head of running the computer for the Lunch Program). Well anyway a teacher of my daughters, saw me in the lunch room on the computer and said to my daughter and a few others, not knowing that I was her Mom he said, "Oh you see that lady over there with the short spiked hair and all of those tattoos, I bet that she rides a Harley Davidson". Then my daughter said back to him, "That's my Mom and no way would she ride a Motorcycle". hahahaha My daughter said that the teachers eyes bugged out and his mouth dropped wide open, Gosh I wish I would of saw the look on his face. hehehehe So you see you can't judge a book by it's cover!

Kimblonde35....I ride a Harley! Actually most of the women riders I know have long hair they put in a braid when they ride...I'm atypical with short hair. When I take off my helmet I put on a ballcap to hide my flat smooched helmet hair....I don't look good in the doo rag things! Yep, people are stereo-typed...one of the women riders in our HOG chapter is a very conservative lobbyist...(I live in the DC area) and looks all wholesome and soccer mom type.
Cool!! I know when I go places people look at me like I'm some sort of wild person or something haha But I'm a very down to earth kind of person even tho that my looks don't show it!
It's just that I love my hair this way and I love tattoos!!haha
Ofcourse the kids where I work at (at the Junior High) all think that it's cool that my hair is like this and that I have tattoos, some of them even said that they wished that there mom would be like me. haha I wonder what there parents would think if they saw me? haha
