When I was about 6, and my sister was 3, she woke me up from my afternoon nap to inform me that she was going to go to beauty school. I looked at her to discover that her first subject was herself. I kinda figured right then that she’d fail if she ever attempted cosmetology. I was wrong. In high school she started cutting other people’s hair for prom, and then out of high school went on to get her Illinois state certificate.
Today’s book, How to Cut Your Own Hair (or Anyone Else’s!) should be given to all little sisters before they attempt something foolish. It has picture guides for 15 haircuts covering men, women, and multiple hair types. I’m no hair cuttery expert, but any sort of guidance is better than some butchered self-attempts I’ve seen over time.. After all, I have 3 sisters.
