Does anyone have experience cutting their own hair? Should I cut my own hair? (lemmy.wtf)

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.

Well, if you have a lot of hair to play around with, you can just try it without much risk. I cut my own hair (male, short hair) but I find it really difficult to manipulate scissors or clippers while looking in the mirror. I also can't really do the back of my head so I have to get someone to help me.

Just be ready to clean up, because hair will fly all over the place if you aren't careful.
