Cut my own for years, on my second set of clippers. back trim is a hand mirror and the bathroom mirror, not bad with practice.

I started going bald in my late 30s. I said being married caused it. So, now I'm bald on top and back, but I still have the little clump left in the front and to me that's the worst possible outcome. So for the last 10 years I shave it all, or at least buzz it down to the skin. I use a Remington trimmer for that. I normally keep my beard year round too, or at least a goatee. It's not thick enough to just let it grow, it's pretty uneven if I don't trim it every 2 weeks. The trimmer has good attachments for keeping it neat...

I have written multiple times...

Baldness and gray hair is antiheritagal. You don't get it from your parents, you get it from your kids.

Haven't had hair on my head in 22 years, I had someone accuse me of combing over when I was 30. I went directly home and shaved my head. My wife cuts the boys hair and she has hers done professionally.

I started going thin a few years ago so I decided to just accept it and started buzzing my own head. Shaved it once but I didn't like the rubbery weird feeling so I just set the trimmer to the closest setting and use that.

As a plus, people seem to avoid a 6' skinhead for some reason.

Its sad though, because most of my life I had long hair. Always went for the barbarian hero look.

I’m a hardcore introvert, and a woman. A couple years ago I had back-to-back bad experiences with two separate professional stylists who were way too pushy with the small talk, and left me feeling like I’d just been interrogated with my hair as a hostage in case my responses were unsatisfactory. I decided it just wasn’t worth it. Ever since then, I just trim my own with my best fabric scissors when the ends start to split. My hair is long with a natural spiral curl, so I can just pull the ends around where I can see them to trim, even it up by feel, and not worry about it too much because the curl disguises the imperfections. I’m sure I end up trimming off more than a professional would need to, but I’m much happier being self sufficient with regards to my hair.
