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.

Do it!

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

And you might really like it.

    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.
