DIY Haircuts

[Carolyn Marie]

As you may know, I wear a wig. But my real hair continues to grow in the back and the sides, and up until now I've had to go in male mode to a barber once every 6-8 weeks for a trim, so it doesn't get so long in the back that it peeks out from under the wig. Those are not fun days.

So after discussing the problem with my wife, I bought myself an inexpensive electric hair trimmer/razor. it's just like the one barbers use, but not as fancy. it comes with plastic guides that attach, so you don't whack too much off at one time. Kind of an "idiot proof" device, if there is such a thing.

I sat on my bar stool, and my wife began the procedure. It took her a while to get over her own fear of either lopping off an ear, or gouging an inch deep scar in my neck. Once she got the hang of it, it went quite well. The finished product wasn't quite a professional cut, but for a first time attempt, I was very pleased. My wife got a big kiss and she has a happy S/O. No more male mode for me, thank you very much.

Carolyn, I hope you don't mind me asking this as it's mostly a question purely out of curiosity.. But are you wearing a full wig? Or are you wearing a partial unit and use as much of your own hair as possible?

Don't mind at all, Sarah. It's a full wig, but obviously fairly short. I do color my hair to match the wig's color, so they blend well.

Ah I see, well thanks for sharing Carolyn!

Before I started transitioning I actually gave my self haircuts all the time because I hated going to the Barbershop creeped me out the same way mens bathrooms creeped me out lol. Though my Idea of a haircut was taking a electric trimmer and just shave my hair down to a total buzzcut.

That's great that you were able to have your wife do it though, probably way easier then actually attempting to do it all by your self. Definitely must be a huge relief not to have to go to the barbershop again in male mode!

Thank god that's not actually possible or I'd need more than one surgery.
