Re: Cutting your own hair

[herpymcderp]

And I don't have any personal problem with you, but acting like people are too incompetent to trim their own hair when it's at shoulder length is kind of laughable.

Re: Cutting your own hair

[nonnymouscawitz]

So I hate text instead of chat but as I clarified in my other comment, I am being slightly melodramatic on purpose. Apologies, I think I'm funny but no one else does, not even my friends, so you are not alone!

But I don't think anon is incompetent. I gave them detailed instructions on the best way to cut your hair. But pulling your hair into a ponytail to cut it is something I have actually done. Recently, for a donation. And for what anon wants, one length at their shoulders, cutting that way is going to give them the complete opposite result. Pulling the hair back towards the back for a ponytail means you're overdirecting the hair, creating more length in the front. The back pieces would have very choppy layering from gathering in the ponytail and the front pieces would be noticibly, dramatically longer, more like an angled bob than a one length cut. So it sounds like an easy way to achieve the result, but would actually create more work.

Re: Cutting your own hair

[herpymcderp]

Well... see, I think we're coming at this solution from different angles. I respect your training, definitely. I'm quite sure you can give a better haircut on another person than I can (although I do pretty routinely cut and color other people's hair I'm definitely an amateur).

From a DIY first timer perspective (I've literally been cutting my own hair for about ten years now), getting a reasonably even length all around is going to be hard if you try to free hand it. I know the ponytail method is going to result in a longer front and shorter back, but it's a lot easier to deal with extra length in the front than it is in the back.

Anyway tl;dr I get where you're coming from now and I hope you also see my side of the coin.

Re: Cutting your own hair

[nonnymouscawitz]

Yeah, explained that way I see it. I just worried without that clarification anon was going to try the ponytail method expecting an easy straight cut and I panicked a bit. I really, really should not be typing detailed nonsense when I haven't slept much, but I saw the question and I was like 'YES THIS IS THE ONE THING I AM GOOD AT I CAN CONTRIBUTE GIVE ME POSITIVE ATTENTION.' It's been that kind of week.

So hey who wants to start and over/under on how weird and uneven Herpy's hair looks?

Re: Cutting your own hair

[nonnymouscawitz]

I am really tired and I'm not sure if it looks like I'm snapping at you or not (I swear I'm not) so I'm just going to apologize anyway just in case. I am trying to be friendly, not irritating, but I am having some major focus issues so I think I'm failing.

Re: Cutting your own hair

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, stop beating yourself up. That one anon with the capslock was being an overly nitpicky ass. Fwiw I thought your advice was helpful AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH USING CAPS TO EMPHASIZE STUFF.

Re: Cutting your own hair

[nonnymouscawitz]

Thank you. Last night I really needed a confidence booster so I was super excited to aee topics about hair and then when I screwed that up it was just a bad night all around so irs nice to have someone in my corner.
