How to... cut your own hair!

[english]


I was always sceptical about cutting my own hair. However, after watching this video made by Portuguese blogger Nádia from My Fashion Insider, I decided to give it a try. Everyone I told this to tried to talk me out of it, but I did it anyway.

First of all, I washed my hair, and combed it using the comb that came in the kit. After that, I divided my hair into two parts, left and right. Then, I matched equivalent pieces of hair from each side, and cut them at the same time, maintaining the same layers I already had.

After a nervous wait for my hair to dry, I examined it thoroughly. You’ll be glad to know – unless you like tragedies – that my hair looked normal, just slightly shorter. I am now completely converted to cutting my hair at home. It’s weird but I felt empowered doing it. Plus, it saves me money! Keep in mind that my hair is curly though, so even if I had made any major mistakes, it wouldn’t have been as noticeable as if I had straight hair. Not to talk you out of doing it, straight-haired girls, just be careful! Also, I decided to invest in a professional cutting scissors. Still, they cost £12, as opposed to the £20 I would pay for a haircut – every time.

Sempre fui céptica em relação a cortar o meu próprio cabelo, se calhar em grande parte porque gosto muito de cafonés, e ter alguém a lavar-me o cabelo sabe bem. Sobrevivi a três anos em Inglaterra com cortes nas férias em Portugal. mas como não cortava o cabelo desde Janeiro e fui de férias entretanto, vi me obrigada a ter que cortar as pontas antes de ir para casa.  No entanto, os preços aqui quase que me fizeram esperar. Foi então que me lembrei do post da Nádia, do My Fashion Insider, em que ela mostra como corta o seu próprio cabelo. Segui as instruções dela e resultou comigo. Não se esqueçam que eu tenho cabelo encaracolado, no qual não se nota muito se o cabelo está cortado direito, por isso tenham cuidado se tiverem cabelo liso. Dadas estas considerações, digo-vos que adorei a sensação de cortar o meu próprio cabelo, como se tivesse a dar mais um passo em direção a ser auto-suficiente.

Vão experimentar ou já o costumam fazer?
