I’m autistic, I’ve had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I’ve been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn’t look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it’s not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it’s something I can continue to do going forward. I also don’t particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.
I think that’s largely going to depend on what kind of hair cut you want. I do a semi layered cut. I bend forward, brush all my hair towards my forehead, put it in a pony tail, and cut it whenever I want.
I will note if you’re cutting it close to your forehead, maybe take some front pieces out or you’ll have really really short bangs. After I do all that I double check it in the mirror, make sure both sides are even, trim if they’re not, trim my bangs how I want them, and I’m good for another month or two.
Is it in style? Idk. I’m pushing 40, I don’t really give a shit anymore. But it sure beats the hell out of going to the salon.
