Thinning your own hair?

[afreshstartplease]

Does anyone thin their own hair at home

I've just attacked mine with thinning shears for the first time

Seemed ok, washed it, now going to dry it

Itll be good right?

Oh God, no.
How did it turn out?

It's alright actually! Much more controllable

I saw this post and just went and cut my hair then thinned it

Its ok, better than the rats tails it was before but no doubt any hairdresser would be horrified... However if a hairdresser actually ever cut my hair how I asked them too (bar one excellent one I had that moved to the other end of the country) I would go back but I am yet to find one who has two ears for listening and one mouth for talking about holidays...

I used to when I had shorter hair & it always looked fine. Thinning scissors are easy to use & it's quite difficult to mess up with them I think

Ive done it before. Never had a problem.

Though I agree that I think a hairdresser would be horrified, but I never noticed anything bad and no-one commented either.
