HOW TO CUT YOUR OWN HAIR AND BEARD WITH ONE CHEAP COMFORTABLE MACHINE AND SAVE 300 A YEAR....
...AA good method is to buy a small battery powered beard trimmer, with a gentle blade about an inch wide. This not only is self sharpening and trims your beard without pain better even than a wet dry shaver (how can it be both wet and dry!) because you don't say ouch to pay for it and the new set of cutters they don't mention upfront for $39.95 you have to buy twice a year, and it also doubles as a hair cutter trimmer all for just 12$ a year not 300.

...To cut your own hair there are some simple tricks. No hair off the top holds true not just for air ships, clipper ships too. It's easier to let comb to the sides, trim, and let gravity do the rest. If you trim all the way to the top, cutting your hair will be of no worth after all!
..
...GENERAL
...All you need for your hair cut is thus just to trim the sides and around your shoulders. First get a good hairline, I do this around the rear of my shoulders by combing my hair downward, and then putting on a hat like a euro hat, or you can use a headband or just a rubber band, this makes it so you have a line to calibrate your hairline to. In general I don't want a big chunk of my hair over my shoulders and it's easier to shampoo and keep clean with not so much, so the line I cut is about an inch below the hatline. A get a good pair of sharp scissors and start on the right rear and cut from here to the left in 3 or 4 cuts, trying to align the one before with the one after. Although you only get so many, you may get about three go rounds for practice to make the line level. The highest cut on the line has to be matched by the other cuts, so don't make any cuts too high (deep). When going to your left ear with the line is the most tricky, you have to have big enough scissors to reach around to the left rear, and it takes a good bit more skill to make a level rear shoulder cut, and you have to take care not to cut your ear. This is the toughest part. It's good to be able to see, so to save your ear proceed slowly and with care with the left rear side (You can't do this from the left if you're right handed so the best way is to reach around over the right shoulder from the right rear, the scissors are just enough to reach and cut the line to your left rear ear. To not cut your ear, first go near your head to get the hair between the cutters, move the cutters out above your ear with the hair between the cutters then snip.). To make the line level it's good to zoom in with both the mirror you have and the one in your hand with twice the reflection. Another way to not cut your ear and cut the line to the left shoulder first move the hair behind your left ear more to the right rear away from your ear if possible before you make the left cut so you ear is safe.

...TAPERING
.
....Now that you have a good hairline it's simple to shape your hair. The hair above the hairline may be in an over hang so just take larger chunks out of this with the scissors to get in the general area you want, using as simple clean cuts as possible and then taper with your beard trimmer to finish up, tapering is important because your hair will look like an aurora of loose ends if you don't also taper it. This about split ends right and left behind the ears is often the mark of an amateur who wants to save money, ah youth, except cutting with scissors or the trimmer won't solve it well if they can't see around to the left and right behind the ears. By using tapering for this part of the cut you don't have to be able to see, solving the problem the unsavvy often have, if they're at barber college they'll cut no classes! The trick to tapering with just a beard trimmer is not to use all the fancy attachments, it would take hours even if you can find these boost for the Biz Beach Boom even if they worked well, the simple trick is to cut with the cutter aiming upward, handle down and pull away from the top of your head, toward the ends of your coif. This insures a faster simple taper cut that doesn't catch and jam the blade like using the cutter to take out the large bite with the scissors or to cut a line using scissors would. A low cost trimmer can't cut big chunks of coif and with more power it's more unpredictable. This with a cheap trimmer may be best if you consider the value and that you also cut your beard without pain and with no expensive cutter heads to buy. There are three ways to taper (slow down) or speed up the cut, go with the flow of hair to taper or against to cut faster; or you can move the trimmer at more or reduced angle to the vertical (for taper or fast cut) or to move at a more sidewise angle to the horizontal where the hair is vertical. Tapering or higher speed cuts are of special worth when you cut your own coif because it's tough to see "real good" so if it cuts "too well" it's easy to make a bad cut. With more tapering cuts even if a few of your cuts are bad because of the randomness of your hair they won't show, so you can cut your own hair even if you can't see the reflection 100% of the speed of light.
..
...A HIGHER LEVEL OF LEVELNESS
....The motif of cutting the hairline behind your shoulders and then general cut and tapering may be repeated 2 or 3 times if needed. You may often find that the hairline once cut is uneven when you recomb it and it may seem better to try the trimmer to cut your hairline with a nice level cut but this turns to to be unprobable because the cutter clogs up and jams and it's tough to match one line of the cut to make the straight line because of this. The best available for the rear cut around your ears right to left seems to be a general somewhat random line in detail because of the luck of the scissors cut with the general line being a straight cut, there seems to be no way to cut an exact line with scissors, but some randomness is good enough to look like a pro and the best with this method. Another good trick for the best hairline with your scissors is to cut the line and wait a day or two for the hair to be more uneven, then recut more precisely, which this enables you to achieve.
...FINISHING SNIPS WITH A TRIMMER, AMAZING
...To finish the cut all you have to do is lightly trim the sides with your cutter by the taper method above. To trim around the top, side, and behind your ears, use your ear as a guide and after you first taper both sides of your head to match with a thinner coif so the cutter won't jam, press inward to make the cut around and above your ear.
..
SIDES/SIDEBURNS
..
To trim sideburns trim the outside of your sideburns by the taper method as usual so the burn is thin and easy to cut and to cut the bottom edge the trick is to go upward with many small motions stopping with each motion where you want the line to smooth out the edge, and then make a simple cut or two at 90 degrees to the side, so the cut is more in a line even with a cheap trimmer. To trim the sides evenly look on both sides in the mirror get the general area by untapering cuts (see above) and compare them to zero in with tapering cuts.

....A DROPPROOF MACHINE SAVES MY ROOF!
..
....To not drop your trimmer (a major cost as a percentage and takes time to find another) make sure to get a trimmer that has a loop or other surface you can put a loop of strong line through (drill a hole or clip it perhaps if there's no loop)when it's time to buy a trimmer, the loop goes around your shoulder anytime you shave or cut. To make sure you always remember to loop it around your shoulder so you never drop it, store your trimmer between cuts over a loop in a nearby room or other place where it takes a bit of labor to find the trimmer. Dropping the trimmer while you cut your hair around your shoulders is otherwise probable. When to buy? With this you'll stay 21 for 100 years!
...For a conditioner substitute, olive oil is of worth to reduce randomness in the wind, if this make your hair look a bit too oily, use the right amount of Olive Leaf, to balance. the Olive Leaf is dry to dry out the oil to the optimal degree.
....This should only take five minutes and cost no more than the cutter, plus no half hour drive and wait to see the barber, you may save 300 a year, and YES! you are a cyber trimmer power!
