So, with money tight and my hair long, I knew I needed to do something with the mass amount of hair on my head that was giving me daily headaches. I have thick hair, so I can’t keep it too long, and I had gone past the point of no return recently. Since a hair cut was likely gonna run me 40 bucks or more, (which I didn’t have) I searched the web on how to cut my own hair. I cut my kiddos hair, why can’t I do my own?

So what are you waiting for? It’s almost summer. Shed those locks and send them off to do good!
