Putting haircuts in perspective<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have cut my husband’s hair for about 95% of his haircuts over the course of our nearly 38 year marriage. I also cut my children’s hair almost all of the time while they were growing up. But I’m not trained and I don’t cut hair professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did I do this? Mostly because it was more convenient that hauling everyone to appointments every few weeks. It took less time to pull out the hair trimming equipment, cut the hair, and clean up than it did to pack everyone up and drive to a shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair cuts are also relatively low risk. Hair grows. And it grows relatively quickly. Any awkward results will soon be but a memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about style?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I was just starting out I purchased a used book about hair cutting. Here is one that is similar: Haircut Tips & Tricks, Tutorials, Trends & How-To’s<\/a> I looked through the first few pages of this book I linked to and was impressed with how much information there is and it has good diagrams. It is the diagrams that helped me the most to get a sense of how to cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are more style conscious than others, but I have observed over the years that style is more about how to make an individual’s hair look best, rather than mimicking the latest fad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are, of course, also personal preferences. My husband likes a basic, no-fuss, timeless men’s look. He likes to look well groomed and trimmed, but fashion trends aren’t important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
