I’m autistic, I’ve had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I’ve been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn’t look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it’s not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it’s something I can continue to do going forward. I also don’t particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.

    Do it!

    We all tried it in the pandrmic, it’s no big deal!

      My wife learned to do it in 2020. In a family of 5, this has saved us close to $7,000 since. We bought all professional scissors and clippers.

        Wow, I almost never cut my hair. Like once a year at most. But with a family that makes sense. Growing up, my dad cut my & my brother’s hair for years, although we did go to the barber sometimes.
