昨天路过这地方，感觉石头的摆放还挺具有艺术感的，赶紧拍个照片，跟大家分享一下，哈哈~
最近看了一个女博主，分享她自己给自己理发的视频，当时就想改天试试。我是一个不太怕失败的人，出门也不多，所以也不是很担心自己“手残党”，把头发剪缺了这个事。再加上这个博主分享的剪头发的方式看起来特别简单，简单描述一下就是，正常情况下，我们扎辫子是把头发都扎到背后去，但是这个女博主是把头发扎到额头这里，扎完头发之后，再隔一段距离，用另一个发圈把头发再扎一下，然后再隔一段距离，就可以开剪了。在这种情况下，即使真的手艺不是很好，也不会有太大的失误，看不出很大的问题来。
当然目前我模仿这个女博主剪头发最大的问题是头发不够长，虽然剪出来了层次感，但是头发变短了许多，好处是夏天更凉快更方便打理了。相信等头发再长长一些的时候，就能够更明显的看出来层次感了。先给我自己剪完之后，感觉效果还不错，于是就开始跟女儿说给她剪头发的事情。女儿一开始是拒绝的，因为她觉得长头发好看，爱美之心人皆有之嘛。再加上她要看手机，就更加没时间来参与“新TONY（理发师）出道”的活动了。但她也经不住我一再坚持让她也剪一剪这个想法，于是就说好吧，那你给我剪吧。
其实我这也不是第一次给她理发，或者说给我们理发了。去年也剪过一次，不过当时没有看视频就剪了，毫无参照，也完全看不到后面的头发是什么样的，即使知道了，修剪也是比较麻烦的事情。那个时候，我还“雄心勃勃”地想弄一整套剪头的工具，但最终看去看来，看了无数的追评之后，选择了放弃，只买了一把张小泉的小剪刀，没想到又便宜又实用，虽然剪头发不能一剪刀就解决了，需要反复剪好几次，因为头发别看很柔软，但是也是很有韧劲的，咔咔咔，最终头发全部进了我的收藏袋里。
最近两年剪下来的头发，我都收纳到了一个袋子里，和女儿的头发混合放在了一起。我和她的发色还是挺接近的，都是偏褐色的，所以即使放在一起，也不会觉得很违和，倒反而像是同一个人的头发。一来可以当做纪念，二来万一以后老了，说不定还可以用这个头发去制作假发戴上，用自己的头发制作成的假发，感觉还是挺有创意的。当然我不知道这个想法是否科学，而且也一点都不知道该如何制作假发，但说不定哪天心血来潮就去研究研究了。说起来还是太自恋，太喜欢这个发色了，头发吸收了我很多的营养。
之所以不想再去理发店理发也是因为每次去，感觉理发师的水平有限，刚刚大学毕业的时候，还很喜欢去烫头，但是无一例外的最后都是搞的“梨花烫”，还特别喜欢跟我闲扯一堆有的没的，目的肯定是想让我办卡之类的。有时候剪完头发和不剪头发基本上也没有太大的差别，既然如此，感觉那几十块钱也就没必要花了。“自己动手丰衣足食这句话”，永远都不会过时，当然重点是要自己不懒。自从我开始自己给自己剪头发，也给女儿剪头发之后，理发的开销就变成了零，重点是自己剪的头发，自己看着还挺顺眼的(o)/~
English translation by AI for someone who is interested in my post but from other countries:
I recently watched a video from a female influencer where she shared how she cuts her own hair. I thought to myself, "I should try this someday." I'm not someone who's afraid of failure, and since I don't go out much, I'm not too worried about messing up my hair. Plus, the way the influencer cuts her hair looks really simple. To briefly describe it: normally when we tie our hair in a braid, we gather all of it behind, but this influencer ties her hair in front, near the forehead. After tying it there, she leaves a gap and ties it again with another hair tie, and repeats this a few more times. Then she starts cutting. With this method, even if you're not very skilled, there won't be any major mistakes, and the layers will still look pretty good.
Of course, the biggest issue for me while trying this is that my hair isn’t long enough yet. Though the layers came out well, my hair ended up much shorter. On the bright side, it’s cooler and easier to manage for the summer. I believe when my hair grows longer, the layers will be more noticeable. After cutting my own hair and feeling satisfied with the result, I decided to talk to my daughter about cutting hers. At first, she refused because she loves her long hair, and like anyone, she enjoys looking good. Plus, she was busy watching her phone, so she wasn’t interested in being a part of my “new TONY (barber) debut.” But after I insisted a few times, she finally agreed, saying, "Fine, go ahead and cut it for me."
This isn't the first time I’ve cut her hair. In fact, I did it last year, but without any video guide. There was no reference, and I couldn't even see the back of her hair. Even if I could, trimming it would have been a hassle. Back then, I was "ambitiously" thinking of getting a full set of hair-cutting tools, but after reading countless reviews, I decided to skip it and just bought a small pair of Zhang Xiaoqian scissors. Surprisingly, they were cheap and very practical. Even though cutting hair isn't a one-swipe process and needs several cuts to get it right—because even though hair feels soft, it has a lot of resilience—the scissors eventually did the job, and all the cut hair went into my collection bag.
I've been saving the hair I’ve cut over the last couple of years in a bag, mixed together with my daughter's hair. Our hair colors are pretty close—both brownish—so when it’s all in the same bag, it doesn’t look out of place, and in fact, it almost feels like it’s all from the same person. On one hand, it’s a nice keepsake, and on the other hand, I figure that maybe when I’m older, I could use it to make a wig. Using my own hair to create a wig feels like a pretty creative idea. Of course, I have no idea if this is scientifically sound, and I certainly don’t know how to make a wig, but maybe one day, I’ll be curious enough to look into it. I must admit, it's a little self-indulgent to be so attached to my hair color, but my hair has absorbed a lot of my nutrients over the years!
The reason I don’t want to go to a salon anymore is because every time I do, I feel like the hairstylists are limited in skill. Back when I had just graduated from university, I loved getting perms, but without fail, I always ended up with the same "lihua perm" style. And they’d always talk to me endlessly, probably hoping I’d sign up for a membership or something. Sometimes, after a haircut, my hair looks almost exactly the same as before. So, if that’s the case, why bother spending those few dozen bucks? The saying "Do it yourself to save money" never goes out of style, as long as you’re not lazy. Ever since I started cutting my own hair and cutting my daughter's, my hairdressing expenses have dropped to zero. The best part is, I actually like how my self-cut hair looks. (o)/~
