    ~ Show and Tell Friday~I Cut My Own Hair ! ~

     

    It's that time again....

    I have been racking my brain in what I was going to share this week.  I wanted to show some special Christmas ornaments but haven't pulled them out...yet.  We are going to decorate on Monday.  So.....after this morning I thought up what I was going to share.  I have been wanting to try out a way to cut my own  hair with long layers and layered bangs. Well, I did it this morning and was VERY happy with my results. :stars

     If people are intrested I will show how I did it on the next Tightwad Tuesday after the holidays. 

     

     I am going to be taking next week off with Tightwad Tuesday and Show and Tell Friday.  Sooo the next ones are December 30th and January 2nd.  But please do still check in on me because I would like to post pics of all the goodies we are going to be making over the next week.  Baking and candy making galore ! 

    So...here is my first pic of my new hair do.(the one I like)

    And now here is the second pic my Handsome took b/c he wanted a more soft and natural pic of me. 

     

    If you want to join us  just....


    ~Make a Show and Tell Post and make sure it is wholesome.  It can be pretty much what ever you want to share.  It could be about you ...or your family ....or what is going on in your homeschooling.

    ~Some how link me ( Canadagirl ) so others will know where to go to join S&T.

    ~Come back to me and  let me know you posted your S&T by using Mr. Linky. ( I need you  to tell me each week that you want to participate  , okay ?  )

    ~If you want the S&T button to put on your blog go HERE

    ~Then
    please go visit other gals wonderful Show and Tells !  Oh,  don't forget to comment.  EVERYONE  loves comments.



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    I love it! You did your bangs perfectly! My favorite cut is the whispy look because it adds texture as well as layers. Great job!!! Happy Holidays to you and yours, dear friend.

    Very nice! I wish I could figure out how to cut my bangs so they would not be choppy.

    You are very brave. I do trim my bangs occasionally because I'm too lazy/cheap to go get a real hair cut, but I've never tried to cut the back!

    Wow! You were so brave for cutting your own hair! I don't think I've ever cut that much hair off of me, but I have trimmed my banes when I had them. My hair is pretty much all one length now. I do cut my husband's and children's hair though. It sure saves alot of money! Have a Merry Christmas. :)

    Mary,

    It is always fun to see photos of my virtual friends. Your hair looks great!

    I used to cut my own hair. I just put it in a pony tail on top of my head and cut it straight across. Then I sectioned off the bangs, twisted them and cut them straight across too. I was in the Army at the time so as long as I could put it up in a french braid for work I figured I was okay. It really didn't look spectacular down, but the price was right and the split ends were controlled.

    I would like to see how you did it. Actually, I have cut my own hair for almost 20 years now. All members of our family are do-it-yourself hair cutters - my daughter doesn't have much choice at her age! By far a huge money saver.

    I would never venture past doing my own bangs! I'm glad it turned out well for you!

    Have a great week making treats and celebrating Christmas!

    Looks great!
    It's uplifting to get a new haircut, isn't it?!
    I also just noticed that in the post below, the husband in the graphic is tapping his foot waiting for the computer. In this house that would be my sons!
