A self haircut

My hair was getting very long and scraggy, but I hate going to the hairdresser. It's so painful getting my hair washed at those basins where you have to lean backwards and put your neck onto that rock-hard porcelain. So I thought this time I would do it myself.

I didn't have the wit to take a proper "before" photo, but here I am with my hair parted (badly, it seems!) in various places, ready for snipping.

Snip snip.

Ta-da! I look cross, don't I? Think the light was in my eyes or something.

I was very cautious with this haircut because I hadn't tried anything so complicated before, but I'm really happy with it so I will cut it again soon and put in some more layers around the back.
