I've been doing it since late teens. Usually small trims. FTB.

What do you put on your head as a guide for cutting?
Some kind of bowl?

Same.

I don't like anyone seeing my hair in its natural state.

I'm pretty good at cutting my own hair now

I've got no idea how you guys do it. Doesn't it come out looking really retarded?

Nah, man. You just need patience, a steady hand, and some good clippers.

Here's an example of someone doing their hair and looking fine at the end:

I started cutting my own hair for three reason:

1. The shaved sides look came in about 4 years ago and It needs to be cut on the sides every 10-15 days otherwise it goes to sh*t - but i'll be dammed if I pay a barber £10 just to shave the sides

2. Money - I save over £100 a year (not much but its better in my pocket)

3. I don't like going to the barber when they brush your hair back and theres tons of people in the shop and everyone can see your baldness.

Before I buzzed by myself but now there is a barbershop in my building which gives clean buzzcut for $1.5.

Not sure what that means in relative terms because you are in Lithuania - for all I know $1.50 is like $20 there

(jokes!)

 

[HankPentagon]

"Crap is relative.

It actually looks fine but I'm bald so no biggie

Learning to cut hair is a skill you can master within about 5 cuttings

I simply watched a sdtylist and copied the technique

I definitely must start doing it. Being a Norwood 4 and going to a barber shop once a month is worse than S&M.

I saw a NW7 going to barber shop

Get a flowbee. They actually work quite well for self cuts.

Before I got a hair piece I cut my own hair, and it looked terrible. Crooked as f***, but I still preferred it to going to a hairdresser. I just wore my hair up 24/7 so nobody would see my mistakes. I would rather do it myself and have it look (even more) awful, than putting myself through the embarrassment of going to a public hairdresser and having them stare at and (god forbid) touch my hair.

I just go to an old mens barber. I've been going to the same one for years. I didn't even go to female hairdressers as a fullhead. Hairdressers don't know how to cut men, especially balding men. You'll end up with a feminine haircut with a bad fade and your balding exposed to the world.

The only benefit you get by going to female hairdressers is that their boob might gently caress your shoulder.

My advice to all the balding fags who still have enough hair for haircuts: Never get your hair cut by a female hairdresser.

 

[HankPentagon]

I did it all

Had that first bald confession with barber

Denial with hot chick stylists trying to rock a comb over, and yeah, the boob brush
Is a real erotic experience

Shaved my head

Botched my first haircut

Learned to cut it short

Learned to cut the back using a simple mirror

And the last step, never look in a mirror

 

[HankPentagon]

Roger that.

Bateman is right.

Use a ten buck barber old school. He knows how to trim you down without some freak chick gay twist

Or just cut it yourself
