It Makes So Much Sense to Learn to Cut Your Own Hair

When you are a civil engineer who needs to work far away from civilization because he needs to create civilization where there is none, how do you manage to look neat, tidy and trim? There isn't even a McDonald's around, leave alone a quality haircut shop. You realize that being an engineer who works out with big machines in the open, you can't afford to have normal 3 inch long hair. It's going to get messy really soon. You need short hair that's really well done. Well, that's why you'll find that civil engineers who work on oil rigs and other far out places learn how to cut your own hair.

If there are even two of you, you can learn how to cut each other's hair. The first thing we did was to buy a set of $50 clippers for everyone. And then, we downloaded YouTube videos off the Internet to see how it was done. We then drove 40 miles to the nearest barbershop to look closely at how a pro did it. It seemed quite simple.

So we were ready. We took out ourshiny new Clippers, figured out which clipper guards to use for the length of hair we wanted, and then we went at each other. Any decent set of clippers will come with a separate guard for different parts of the head. You'll need to be sure that you know which one goes where.

You mustn't be too disappointed with the results you get at first. Remember - if you're cutting a man's hair, it's usually much easier. You have less hair to worry about. To make sure that you always have less hair to worry about, never leave too much time pass between two haircuts. At first, it would be a good idea for you to go to a good haircut shop, get a great haircut, and then only do the trimming at home. To learn how to cut your own hair can be difficult if you start with an unruly head of hair.

As you learn to trim all the time, you'll get a feel for how properly cut hair is supposed to look. Of course, without really investing yourself in learning how to cut your own hair, you won't ever get great results that make people ask you if you're planning on opening your own shop where they could be regulars.

But it'll look quite decent, and think about the savings. When you consider the time you spend on getting haircuts, the money you pay, and everything else, you can easily save $500 a year.
