Q I Should you cut your own hair?
A I Hairdressers advise regular appointments to keep your hair in good condition and your cuts looking fresh, so it’s little wonder so many of us are keen to keep this up. But most stylists have one word of advice: don’t.
“I feel sorry for all the stylists who, after this, will be dealing with a lot of DIY disasters,” says hairdresser Keri Daniel.
“If you really have to, then it’s worth investing in the right tools – even a professional would struggle to get a good result using kitchen scissors.”
Q I Should you do it yourself or hand the scissors to someone you live with?
A I “Think about what’s best for your household, because you have to live with these people,” warns Keri. Like most professionals, hairdressers have a knack of making their job look easier than it is.
“If you cut your own hair, you’ll need one mirror in front and one behind you,” says Jamie. “I’ve seen people using their phones, but it gets a bit tricky because you need to hold that, the comb, the scissors and the clippers. Get help if you can.”
