    You cut your hair and end up looking like you've been to a barber. I cut my hair and end up looking like Credence from Fantastic Beasts. It's a shit world we live in.

    I cut my own hair and save hundreds per year. My hair cut is simple. A #2 Buzz cut all the way around and that's it. Takes 20 min total and looks clean. People ask me where I get it done and when I tell them I did it myself they are super impressed. I mainly started to do it myself because I was tired of waiting in line at the barber's and then getting home to realize they missed a spot or left stray hairs. Now I can do it anytime I need it and can save the money for something else.

    5:24 I use fingers and tilted the scissor and start cutting randomly, I cut my top short but not to the point that the hair will stand up, I just make it textured. The one advice I heard from random youtube video that kinda gave me the final push to finally cut my own hair was "HAIR ALWAYS GROWS BACK!" so if you're about to start or mess up, just remember that, also we can always cover the mess by using hair product and style to cover it, unless we fuck up too badly lol. First time I cut my own hair, my heart pumped wondering what would my hair look like if I did this or did that. I cut without using guard tho, I just freestyle it xD , and I like my sides super short coz it's the part that will look weird first when hair grows a bit.

    More of a styling question than a cutting one, but how do you get the longer hairs on the top of your head to stick up in that way? If I don't put anything in my hair, it just lays completely flat, and if I use any kind of product (I have tried gel, mousse, and hairspray at this point) I end up with chunky spikes or an ugly mohawk-like ridge.

    I have a neighbor who tried to kill himself last week. He's trans and got denied for bottom surgery due to some deficiencies in vitamins and iron. He's also got a eating disorder that I believe has something to do with him being denied too. We've asked him to live with us for a couple months since he literally lives alone. My husband and I are a heterosexual couple and we have an 8yo boy and a newborn! Although our friend is different than we are.... we have different struggles, we have love in common. He's a true treasure and we want to support him and share our family with him. I've been on KZread trying to learn about what he might be going through... he opens up, but I want to understand better. I want to be a good support who can give good advice and so does my husband. Alex, who's someone we could watch here on KZread who's had bottom surgery? Also, you haven't had it correct? Did you decide against it? Or.....

    Good haircut. You have perfect hair for a flattop.

    I wanna learn how to cut my own hair. I hate going to the barbers I get like the worst anxiety. One time I was nearly sick when I was getting my hair cut 😂 How long dose it take you to cut your own hair?
