Self Cutting

I refuse to pay close to $50 to have my hair cut, so at first I ended up payin $30 to have SuperCuts cut my hair. I'm not sure how big a franchise SuperCuts is; basically its a salon that offers "inexpensive" haircuts. But what ends up happening is you pay $30 for it to look like you got your hair cut at SuperCuts. Maybe I'm just in a financial crisis, I'm not sure, but $30 is not worth a shitty haircut. They should take the super out of their name. Anyway, why pay $30 when I can give myself a shitty haircut for free.

I'm not trained to do this, but like I've said in the past, I'm a google whiz. So I googled how to cut bangs. The first time I did it, google's instructions were't really that helpful. But what I learned if you just repeat "hair grows" over and over while you hack off you locks with kitchen sheers, it comes pretty darn close to SuperCuts. Eventually I stopped googling and just did my own thing.

Here's how it came out:


The first is my attempt at a blunt straight across look, and the second is the ever frustrating perma-part I can't seem to get rid of.

And here's what I wish it looked like:

Ah, Zooey Deschanel, why must you have the perfect, unattainable, head of hair?? I even started taking biotin in hopes for some thick shiny hair. I have this fear in the back of my mind though that it will make my all my other hair grow at an unruley rate.

But even if we can't be blessed like Zooey, I still recomment cutting your own hair, or bangs at least. Worst comes to worst, wear them side swept, it seems to work to blend the crazy strands into eachother. Or wear head bands and barrets for a while, its better than SuperCuts.

Not half bad. Maybe you need to add bang snipper to your back up plan post.

Next time just paste up a Zooey glossy to your vision board....those perfect bangs are only an oprah show away.

the title of this post sounds kind of sketch... "self cutting."

Zooey does have great hair, style and she is surprisingly a great musician.
