If you’re nervous about cutting your hair at home (or you’re trying to convince your partner to let you do it), this video is my big, friendly WARNING before you start. I’m not here to hype you up with “it’ll be fine!” energy—I want you to slow down, think it through, and go in with a plan. Home haircuts can be super doable, but only if you respect how fast things can go from “tiny trim” to “uh-oh… we’re buzzing it all.” I talk about the mindset you need first: start conservative, expect a learning curve, and remember that you can always take more off—but you can’t put it back on. I also point you toward the tools that make this easier (like a solid clipper set) and why having the right gear matters when you’re trying to avoid uneven patches and accidental bald spots. Bottom line: if you watch this first, you’ll make smarter choices, cut with more confidence, and save yourself a lot of stress (and a lot of hat-wearing).
