Cutting my own hair. You should too.

About 8 years ago one day I got sick of constantly having to make an appointment at my barbershop and actually going there and spending my time and money for a haircut, so I decided I'm gonna do it myself. I bought a simple 60 euro plug-in machine. On the beginning I was clumsy but after the 4th or 5th grooming I was getting used to it. I couldn't make my hair stylish, so I just cut it all to basic army style. Turns out I look even more masculine with that hair, and my friends and girlfriend liked it even more. 8 years in and I calculated that I saved about 3400 euros and 200 hours of my life just cutting my own hair. I also started cutting hairs of my friends after a while, earned me a lot of rounds of free beer.

I cut my hair once a year, then I let it grow out so I can give the chopped hair to charity to create wigs for cancer patients. I have brown hair and was told that brown and black hair are always in demand for wigs since these are the more common hair colours. This saves me money and helps me contribute to a cause close to my heart (my mom died of breast cancer). I can also look back at my pictures and I can tell how long it’s been since my last haircut lol! I always get it cut into a short bob. If I wanted to maintain a short haircut, I would definitely consider cutting my own hair!
