Haircut?

I’m low maintenance.  It’s been many, many months.  And when I do go, it’s to Great Clips or the like, often with a coupon or sale for $7ish. My hubby cuts his own hair, if you can believe it…I should just have him do mine:)  I’ve never colored, but am getting to the point I may have to succomb…waiting for hubby to tell me it bothers him! 

All that to say haircuts are quite low on my priority list:)  Hubby likes it longer anyway.  Gina

My hubby cuts my hair and my son’s (and his own). Every once in a while (once a year maybe?) I will get it cut professionally (mine, not my son’s). As long as I don’t want a major style he does a great job, even with layers. He does a fantastic job with my son’s too. I say let him go for it. 🙂 As for color, can you use a box of something from the drugstore? There are coupons all the time for hair color.

Of course if I had money and didn’t live most of the time in Africa I would get it cut every 5/6 weeks and have it highlighted a couple colors. There’s so much a cute haircut can do to revive a look, but, I just happen to like that sort of thing.

My dh loves my hair long, middle of the back.  I would also love to pay someone to come wash my hair it’s the best feeling.  But also like someone said my hair is VERY low on the pole, even lower than the dogs (seriously as she goes every 4 months on schedule).  I go maybe 2 times a year and to the cheap o places or I have my mom do it and she does a pretty good job.

My dh and sons all get hair cuts every 3 weeks and they are buzzzed.  I always get asked if their dad is military cause they all look it, even dh has a buzz!  But I do those so no money there except when the clipper burns out with 6 cuts every 3 weeks!

Now I have 2 girls but we don’t have bangs and I like that so no need for frequent trims.  And she’s 2 and at this point other than her brother cutting a snip of hair ( Oh I was mad!) she’s not had or needed a cut yet!

You are not alone as you can see we mom’s really need to treat ourselves better!

I go about every 6-8 weeks.  When I first switched to my new hair dresser I was not making the next appointment, and it would be 4 months or so between visits, and it really didn’t look too nice by then.  Very stringy looking, and the ends definitely had the split-end look.  My hair looks much healthier when I get it cut regularly.

I go three times a year and in between, when the boys get theirs cut, I’ll have them trim my bangs.  My hair is almost always up (this avatar was taken at church) and my rule when getting it cut is, just leave it long enough to pull back.  I go on Tuesday so it’s well past my shoulders now.  After Tuesday it will be a little longer than chin level.  I hate spending the money, too.  As with everything, I always say, “How many books could I buy for what this costs???”    And I did do without a winter coat last year to buy The Chestry Oak.  (I had a very old lightweight coat so I didn’t freeze.)

I just started cutting my boys hair and dh’s hair about 3 months ago. We don’t buzz, I use scissors, and for the most part they turn out pretty good. DH’s is especially easy to cut for some reason…….. maybe because he sits still and doesn’t cry.

Anyway. I like getting my hair cut professionally. I have really long hair, but lots of layers and bangs and like to change things up once in a while. But I’m really bad about going in every 6 weeks. Its usually more like 8-12 weeks and by then I’m desperate for a cut because my hair looks really, really bad. I have started trimming my bangs so that helps. I would love to have my stylist color my hair regularly, but its so expensive that I have a hard time justifying it. Since I have so much hair, they charge me for two bottles of color. I can buy two boxes of color at the store for a lot less, but its SUCH a pain to color your own hair. Right now I’m at a point where I’m wondering how much I care about my gray hair showing….. I’m only 36 but we go gray early in my family and I have dark brown hair, so it really shows. I guess when I have some motivation I’ll color it again.

I think that I feel my hair is “my one beauty”, lol. But I don’t get my nails done or pedicures or go tanning or any of that other stuff. I’m just not that girly I guess. Plus I think I’d rather have new clothes regularly or clothes and shoes for the boys than pay for that other stuff. We are fortunate to have some extra money to spend, but choice still have to be made. And then, like Robin, I think, hmm, I could buy books too…..

I hate spending money on things like haircuts! My mom trimmed my hair on one of her visits in April and I may get her to do another one when we visit in a week. I cut my own bangs in between, as needed. I probably end up getting a professional cut about once a year or so, though. I don’t do any coloring (but I did a couple times, a loooong time ago!). I don’t think I will do coloring at all, ever, either. I don’t like the thought of the chemicals, to be honest. If I start going gray, I will either “work with it” or find something I can do at home with herbs to help cover them. As for everyone else in the family, I cut all hair. Incidentally, I don’t do nails, tanning, waxing, or get new clothes except when it is specifically required of me or if I am in desperate need! LOL! And even then I will try to get what I need used or make it….except underwear! Girls gotta draw the line SOMEWHERE! All that to say, I actually DO have a sense of style and have a “personal look” so to speak. I have just learned to spend as little money as possible to achieve it! LOL! Oh, and my kids look pretty cute, too…most of the time! HA!
