I woke up this morning feeling inspired -- not so good when you're running late, though.
My hair has gotten ridiculously long because:
- I am scared the stylist will ruin my hair. I have had enough run-ins, believe me.
- I don't have time.
- I am LAZY.
My last visit to the salon for a trim was...
*drumroll*
... April.
Wouldjabelievedat?!
However, I am due for a fringe/ bangs trim. It has gotten quite ugly.
There's this service at a certain salon near my place where you could ask for a "bangs retouch" for about P160. Tried it last August, but I wasn't all that impressed. The stylist just literally trimmed my bangs and that's it. No shampoo, no coffee/tea, nothing! So I told myself never to do that again.
But now that I'm due for another one and couldn't be bothered to make an appointment, I decided to do it myself (taking my cue from BearBear -- thanks for the idea!). Of course, I can't cut the whole of my hair like she did (oh the horror), but thought I'd start with my fringe first. Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
Here's how I managed trimming the fringe:
- Tied my hair back, leaving just the fringe hanging. One thing I've read when doing this is to dry-cut the fringe. Hair is longer when wet, they say.
- Comb fringe straight.
- Twirl it about 3 times then cut hair with the scissors sticking up straight (I don't feel like having a severely straight across fringe, that's why).
- Check-check. Re-do above when necessary. Be wary of cutting it too short, though.
- Comb fringe straight. Trim the strays.
And voila!
I think it looks much better with my hair down -- it doesn't look obvious that it so amateur-ish. Hehe!
'Allo new fringe! We shall do this again next month, y'hear? XD
