I quit going to get hair cuts and quit shaving years ago

[Been There]

I was in the military for 30 years, so I still keep my hair short on the sides with a little more on top. I also shave everyday. A lot of people who know me ask if I was in the military. I ask them why do they ask. They say just curious, but your hair looks like a military cut. I tell them “It is.” I suppose one day I will let it grow out.

I let my natural colour grow in. I had to colour my hair every 10!days otherwise I’d have an obvious grey streak on the top of my head going along my part line. I’m glad I grew it out. My natural hair colour now is light reddish brown and silver. It definitely makes me look older than colouring it but I have no worries about my grey hair sneaking up on me.

Allowing my hair to grow out in Spring 2020 was a silver lining to the pandemic. I have some blonde highlights added about every 8 months, but full on coloring? Nope. Been there, done that, not going back.

Not me, I'm afraid, I go to my hairdresser every 6 weeks.

Same here. I shudder to think of the results if I ever tried to trim my own hair.

My mother always made me get a stupid pixie cut when I was a kid, and it was NOT flattering, so I prefer to keep mine just past shoulder length these days.

I get mine trimmed, and an eyebrow wax, every 8 weeks or so, mostly to keep damage and split ends in check. I try to keep damage to my hair as minimal as possible, with regular deep conditioners and blow-drying it only when I have to, but it still starts looking ratty if I don't stay on top of it at least a few times a year.

I tried twice. Didn't work very well.. although the last time wasn't as bad as the first... AND NEITHER was as bad as the ONE time I went to a hairdresser.. which is why I'd never do that again!!
