Lately on social media I hear quite a bit of complaining about the haircut scene. It's blah blah can't get a haircut this or blah blah no stylists are open that!
Truth be told, I haven't paid for a haircut in years. And after self cutting it for such a long period of time, I've become quite good at it.
The trick, really, is in the clippers. A recent upgrade to this pair has helped with the final outcome. No more stray hairs sticking up that were missed along the path of the buzzers.
I use a #3 on my head and go all the way down to a #1 for my goatee! Take a look at how I did below.
I think it turned out looking sharp, though it's strange to see myself in photos. I got older it seems....
The Wifey Jumped In On The Action Too
Alas! I forgot to snap a before pic of myself but I did get the greys in the lady's hair before the dying process. It seems we're both getting older...
My dear lady will need to talk her stylist into something if businesses don't open soon. Though she can't get a haircut, she asked nicely if I'd help her dye it. I don't know what that stuff is in the pic above. Not sure I want to.
She has just as many greys as I do. Bless her heart for being such a good sport.
All the dye has been spread (mostly even but not perfect) and now it sits for 30 minutes. After that she washes it out completely, brushes it out, and allows it to air dry.
She might not ever ask me to help again due to all the hair pulling. Not the right circumstance for it, I suppose.
And there are a couple after pics with no more greys. All the pain turned into gain and she's ready for tomorrow's Zoom meetings!
Are you taking steps to handle your hair or are you turning into a hippie? Lol. Let me know in the comments.
Don't be afraid to show off!
Happy Hiveing

Hey there :) @acesontop nominated one of your fishing posts to my upvote giveaway but I am not a big fan of fishing and yet, I still wanted to support you so I am leaving my upvote here ;) I actually enjoyed this post, I have been self cutting myself in the same fashion for years (just alternating the 3 mm and 6 mm blade :D) Looking good!
Thank you! I saw that Aces had suggested that post. You guys are awesome for your support. Aces was saying he's been buzzing his hair for years as well. It's so much easier to deal with and it fits in the hard hat better! 🤣
I'll be stopping by to check on your blog. 👍
Exactly :) It´s fast, easy, comfortable and cheap (I mean free :D). I don´t really udnerstand why so many people have this urge to go to the barber :D
Btw thanks for making me realize that Adrian´s username is actually Aces On Top, I never read it like this :D
Hehe. I've shortened it to Aces and he calls me Jeff even though it's spelled Geoff. 🤣
:D nice
Trying to figure out what to write. Maybe a post about nicknames. 👍
You should definitely do that, now that I saw you guys been talking behind my back :)) I'm too stubborn to not use hive.blog any longer but I also hate its notifications which are quite lame. Can't wait for the @dapplr mobile app. This thing is becoming more addictive than facebook.
Lol. I'm in the middle of a nickname blog! 👍
Hit it. I will probably read it in the morning, as in here it's 1:30 and I guess I'll get to bed.
I am my own hairstylist for more than ten years and I know how it feels. I only use two sizes. 3 for the upper part of my head and one for the sides. I use a $20 clipper that I bought almost a decade ago.
I had my old one forever too. Just got a new buzzer as a Xmas present. It's nice having a new pair. Just think of the money we saved! Went a little crazy voting yesterday. Need to repower.
Haha... If I had one million SP I would play all day. Money saving was the main reason I bought myself a trimmer as well. When I lived in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, getting a haircut was too expensive for me at the beginning, and then after it became a habit?
Just think. An extra 10 minutes brushing your hair every morning. That's 70 minutes per week you could have spent on HIVE! 🤣🤣
Oh... I haven't had long hair since I wad a kid.
Hahaha I do it in the very same way :) I just haven´t been lucky enough yet to get a machine that would last so long :D
Mine has almost ten years now
